Autumn gold is in Middlebury and they are amazing with custom and semi-custom options.

I did something similar and used Bill Butler http://natureandmyth.com/Pages/about.html He was great. I contacted him through Artisan's Hand in Montpelier but he's in a number of jewelry stores.

For my engagement/wedding rings, I went to After Midnight Jewelers in the blue mall in South Burlington. While my wife's ring was pretty standard (albeit beautiful), they did an amazing custom job on my ring. My father passed away some years before, and they incorporated some of the gold from his wedding band into mine. They also created two custom necklaces with the rest of the gold that I gave to my mother and sister. They did a great job and I highly recommend them!

Matthew Taylor designs in Shelburne is worth checking out. He is an independent bespoke jeweler who can design something unique. Really good guy with many years of experience.

Highly recommend Alchemy Jewelry Arts in the south end of Burlington, so two talented goldsmiths! I had a similar situation and they used a family diamond to create a new engagement ring for my now-wife.

Perry Sporn is a wretched human and doesn’t deserve anyone’s business. I’ve had the displeasure of doing work for him, and he’s a colossal prick. Never gets permits for anything. Shits on the contractors, and worse of all treats his employees like garbage. Fuck that guy.

I second Autumn Gold in Middlebury. My wife wanted unique and not run of the mill for an engagement ring. Autumn Gold was great to work with. Awesome people.

I’d recommend Tick Tock Jewelers in Burlington - I brought in my grandmother’s engagement ring and they created my engagement ring. I was asking for a fairly simple setting and design - I wanted a hammered platinum band. They were great to work with and they did a beautiful job.

Designer’s Circle in Burlington is great!

Shannon’s fine Jewelry in Essex! I got my wife’s engagement ring and our wedding bands from Tan. He was great very easy to work with. I often heard people coming in with estate jewelry and asking Tan to modify it.

I’m just here for the inevitable Leunigs joke.

Also, it’s a little farther, but NT Ferro in Woodstock does nice work.

He made my wife’s wedding band to shadow her engagement ring. His work was superior to what we were being offered elsewhere and he was less expensive by a lot from other places we looked.

Perriwinkles is my moms go to shop. She's spent stupid money there and all jewelry pieces are gorgeous! They work with what she wants and always happy to fix any issues(gem falling out/broken clasp). I think they do custom jewelry

I cant recommend Vermont Gem Lab enough, Kennon did nearly the same you’re looking for with my late grandmothers ring. He specializes in giving new life to sentimental older jewelry. It’s above leunigs.

yes, we loved our rings made by Marie-Josee Lamarche at alchemy! My mom has also worked with her to redesign a ring using a gem from my grandma's ring and was really happy with the result.

What company?

Perrywinkles jewelry. The deleted comment mentioned that they go there.

Can’t like this enough.

They did a fantastic job on our wedding runs and engagement ring.

Jacob Albee https://jacobalbee.com/ Amazing materials available as well.

Agreed. My engagement ring from them is so beautiful. We came in with an idea and a gem and he knocked it out of the park.

Silvio Mazzarese up in Jeff

Molly Conant / Rack and Ruin

Annika Rundberg - she did my engagement and wedding rings, and did a fantastic job including stones from my grandmother’s rings. She does a ton of re-setting old stones into new contemporary designs!

I've worked with him for years. Matt is a craftsman and a great guy!

Second! https://vermontgemlab.com/

Perrywinkles in Burlington is fabulous or Raintree

For our 25th anniversary my husband had my engagement and wedding rings redesigned in a new setting. We were on a tight budget when we got married so we bought what we could afford. We went to perrywrinkles in Burlington and the designer did an amazing job with the ideas and budget we brought to her.

I get compliments on my rings all the time as I work with my hands so people notice.

Global Pathways on Church has a great team, and the owner is a good guy that supports his people

Third for Kennon.

He redid my mom's ring. It came out awesome! He was really good at involving her as much as she wanted in design/concept (not much). It was fairly priced for what it is

Absolutely. He'll hook you up, he's great.

Oh yeah. Leunigs has a slew of rings they sell out of the kitchen. Real cheap...

Jacob Albee did mine. Stellar work.

Thirding for Alchemy. Connie and Marie-Joseé are awesome!

Is that why I haven’t heard a periwinkles fine jewelry ad for the better part of a decade? 😂
