Featured Rhinestone Replacement Help

Hi,
I picked up this beautiful Sherman bracelet but it is missing one rhinestone. Does anyone here do replacement work or can you recommend someone who does?
I seem to think I read somewhere that Sherman pieces have a special finish on them so you can only replace them with another Sherman stone but I could be wrong on that.
I've been looking for replacement stones but not finding any so I thought I would try here.
Any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

I don't know anything about Sherman rhinestones, but do know that Fire Mountain Gems & Beads has a wide selection of rhinestones.

Thanks Pat, I'll check them out

Thanks KOT, I'll check them out too

 

One thought... if you can't get a close enough replacement for the missing rhinestone, you could take out all the ones in that center column and replace them with a different color. It could look really neat!

 

KOT, thanks for the link! I've just sent an e-mail to see if she has any replacement stones (keeping my fingers crossed).
Pat I'll keep this until I can find a replacement. Sherman collectors want their pieces 'right' and will forgive a replacement stone but I don't think they would like it if I replaced a whole bunch

 

Ah, if you're going to sell it, then that makes total sense.

 

Bump it up. Marieforjan does this type of replacement and she's here on and off. She's fixed pieces for me before.

 

Thanks Bev! I contacted Rhinestone Rosie and it is now on the way to them for the repair.

Yea, got my bracelet back today They did a wonderful job!

 

Good choice, Cx; my wife has used Rhinestone Rosie many times. They even replaced a missing inlay on a Native American bracelet.

 

Was it expensive?

 

I didn't think so - it was $18 for the stone and replacing the safety chain plus shipping. I sent 3 other pieces at the same time, the total (including shipping) for everything was $56.00.
Today I found another Sherman bracelet that needs a repair so I'll wait until I have a couple of other pieces and send them off together.

 

Thank you. I have several pieces that are missing one or two rhinestones. I'll have to pull them out see if it's worth it. I think one set is Sherman and one is Weiss.
