I have taken all my jewelry questions and repairs to Bowie's for years. My wedding ring has many small stones in it and recently one fell out. I took it to Bowie's for repair. They did a great job with the repair! Then, sometime after that, another stone fell out. When I brought it back, they repaired it but they also let me know that additional stones were likely to fall out because the gold inbetween the stones was very thin. They added a little gold for support, which amounted to literally a few dollars and Ihave had NO problems since. They are trustworthy and if they don't believe they will be able to successfully alter a piece of jewelry without damaging it, they will tell you up front. (I brought in a ring to see if they could make it a little smaller but the jeweler was concerned that the stones on the side might pop out if they cut out a segment and bent the ring to make it smaller. Instead they gave me a littler sizer thing and it works just fine! No matter what I have, I bring it to Bowie's.
