Hello Marta,

    A friend had her mother's diamond set as an engagement ring for her
    eldest son's bride... who turned out to be a real bridezilla -
    according to the story I heard. Part of the divorce settlement was to
    return the diamond to her. She had me set it into a handsome ring for
    her husband. He is not a flashy person, but he has enjoyed this ring,
    and the stone is staying in the family. 

    Perhaps you can scrap the metal and reset the stone in a lovely
    pendant in memory of the grandmother who originally wore it. Hang in
    there,
