Kays told me my antique engagement ring was basically done for because of a couple issues related to damage. They told me just go and buy a new ring or have a copy made. Disappointed, I came to TJ's to look for a new ring and he told me that for $100 they could repair it and make it look brand new, leaving it strong enough to last another 20 years. Only time will tell if he's right, but the repairs and the re-plating look AMAZING. $100 was about $1200 cheaper than what Kay's was trying to sell me, so even if in the future I need a new ring, I think the work they did is lovely and I'm happy.
