"The diamond in my wedding ring was my mother's and it was in the original setting. I've been wanting to remount the diamond into a new ring setting for a long time and finally scheduled an appointment at Michael E. Minden. I am so glad that I did!! Their staff is incredibly professional and always so kind. They helped me keep the history of the diamond and gold from my old ring to transform it into the brand new wedding ring of my dreams!! I can now wear the materials that I inherited in a modern style that I enjoy. Thank you Michael E. Minden Diamond Jewelers!"
