Hi Orchidians,

    I am looking to make my 91 year old father a ring that replicates
    one his father gave him when he was a teenager and is not long lost.
     My grandfather was a jeweler/barber (interestingly those are my 2
    interests and I look like him. Hmmm) in New York City. I do not
    believe his work was sophisticated, yet this ring was, so I am
    figuring he had a wax and cast it or just bought it outright. It was
    a mermaid, naked on top, with the tail wrapped around to make the
    ring. There was a diamond in her hand. 

    Any suggestions of sites to look for this piece?? 

    Expecting 18" of snow tomorrow...yippeeee
