Restoration of Sapphire Ring

We took in a lovely ring that belonged to the customer's grandmother. It is a white gold setting and features a round diamond flanked by two trapezoid-shaped blue sapphires. As you can see, the shank is broken. That is the easy part of the repair.
You may also be able to see the amazing engraving on the side of the setting.
In looking for a replacement sapphire I contacted a stone supplier in our area. I was told a stone would have to be cut for this job. That shape is not one in common use now.
So, in a week or so there should be the after shots from this great project.
