I've had an amethyst ring for over 30 years, and it was always too big. Finally I brought it in to have it re-sized. Not only was the fee very reasonable, but Henry cleaned and polished it, and let me know it was an African amethyst, one of the prettiest stones, that gives off reds and fushias in natural light. It is breathtaking. We are very lucky to have a jeweler like Henry and his staff in town!
