Hi Kim,
Forgive me for being so forward as to recommend myself, but my shop
is located in Apex, a small suburb just west of Raleigh. I’m a JA
Certified Master Bench Jeweler and a longtime Orchid contributor. If
for some reason your friend wants to stay in Raleigh, contact me,
anyway. I can steer your friend to the appropriate jeweler depending
on what needs to be done.
