You might have a sentimental piece of jewelry or something passed down from generation to generation that just doesn’t fit your style.
You can give that treasure a makeover without spending a fortune.
"It's very, very common. I would say several times a day we have somebody that comes in that wants to uh, recycle a piece of jewelry,” said Donna Firestone, owner of Either Ore Strawbridge in Va. Beach. |

That's how Holly Blumenthal came to have a ring that was originally part of a bracelet.
"I held onto it for about ten years before I decided what to do with it. And then my mother made a beautiful wedding band, and my sister? I don't think she has used the stones yet," Blumental said.
“When the customer brings the pieces to us, they stay right here. We don't send anything out,” Firestone stressed, saying that’s something people do worry about.
If you have the stones, the possibilities are endless.
"It's a lot of fun. It's the most, probably the most fun part of my job," Firestone said.
Firestone says jewelry conversions can run from less than $50.00 to several thousand dollars
