Where would I go to have a loose gemstone placed in a setting?
I have an odd little collection of loose gemstones (semiprecious mostly) that I've collected over the years, some peach citrines that would be lovely earrings, an aquamarine that would make a nice pendant, and small garnet I would like to have as a ring etc. Where would one go to have such things made into jewelry? Would a local jewelry store offer this service or would I be forced to find one online?
You could go to a retail jewelry store that sends out your gemstones to their goldsmith for mounting, or an independent jeweler who will install them in house. Both will have catalogs for you to look at and choose mountings for your gemstones.
I would avoid going online since your gems may not be properly calibrated ( cut to fit specific dimensions ) and you may end up buying the wrong size mountings. It's also a good way to lose your gemstones that way if you send them out yourself to have mounted to a jeweler you have never met and talked to in person
I would also suggest checking to see if you have a local gem and mineral society. Most will offer classes on how to make your own jewelry. It's not as hard as it may seem, you will actually save money by making your own jewelry, and you would have something hand crafted by you. But if you don't want to make your own jewelry a gem and mineral society will usually have members willing to get mountings for you and set your stones for a price often less than a retail jeweler would
