Has anyone had diamonds or gem stones they already had made into a piece of jewellery?

What was the rough cost,
Where did you get it done and would you recommend them?
Thanks

My parents had my grans engagement ring made into a beautiful pendant for me I think it cost about £150/£200

Was done in Laings in Glasgow

I had my engagement ring made into earrings last year. It originally had a central diamond with 3 channel set diamonds either side. I lost the central stone a few years ago, and the ring itself was a bit small now to be honest. I had it cut and made into half-hoops with the channel set diamonds at the front. Cost £75 in a local jewellers in West Malling, Kent.

I had the stones from my original engagement ring, reset into another ring. Cost about £250 because we went for a higher grade of metal. We went to an independent jewellers, just on our high street.

I had a load of old jewellery made into stacking rings at my local independent. Cost all in was £800. (Involved 5 individual settings and making 5 individual bands with different finishes.)
