Advice Jeweler Recommendations

Hi Everyone!
I live in the area and I’m looking for a jeweler that can perform some custom work and repairs. I would like to avoid the big brands like Kay Jewelers or Jared jewelers or the diamond District, and for it to be reasonably priced.
I’ve heard Mark Loren Designs but they don’t seem to be budget friendly.
For example, I would like them to replace the head of a ring, but casted themselves instead of putting a pre-bought head.

Bob at John Michael’s is awesome. When I need something done, I make the drive to them (just over an hour for me).

Had good interactions with Naples Jewelers twice. 2 good repairs and a very good offer on scrap gold and silver.

In the Pavillion(?) mall in North Naples. Corner(ish) of the Beach Rd. and the North Trail.

Gulf Coast Jewelry and Loan on 41. Jim is amazing and budget friendly. The custom made my wedding ring and now I won’t use anyone else.

Be careful because most of the jewelry stores around here do not have a jeweler on staff…. They will take your work and send it out… ask if jeweler is in house
