    Dear list, Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. And I am
    hoping that someone will help. I have inherited a 46 year old
    natural Alexandrite gold ring from my mother, and the prongs on it
    need to be re-tipped. I only have experience with silver, so it
    would have to be done by someone else. The problem I have is that I
    am weary of bringing it to just anyone, because the stone has been
    estimated at $6000. What do I look for in a jeweler? And would it be
    possible for me to be there at the time of re-tipping, or would that
    be rude and/or dis-courteous to the jeweler? Thank you for your
    help! 

Sincerely,
Anastasia Macdonald
