Thank you Eva for your high quality of craftsmanship and professionalism that went into creating three new pendants from my late mother's wedding, engagement and eternity rings. I was unsure what I would do with the rings as they were too big for me to wear and not my style; just storing them, waiting to pass them on, seemed such a waste.  I felt they were something given with love by my father to my mother and to have them abandoned in a drawer in the hope of a future use was dreadful.  With the imminent 18th and 21st birthdays of my daughter and godchild I decided to have the rings remodelled.  After a few consultations with other jewellers, I met Eva.  I felt comfortable with her and liked how she interacted and at all times she was pleasant and professional.

I had a basic design in mind, but Eva shared her time and talents to make this a reality for me. She set three of the five diamonds from my mother's engagement ring, interspersed with open settings, within her original wedding band; this pendant now allows me to wear the "rings" at any time.  The last two diamonds were set as solitaires within a circular setting for the two girls.  The finished pieces have exceeded my imaginings; they will be treasured and more importantly, worn and admired.
