I went to Prins & Prins to have a ring I bought from them about 20 years ago repaired, as I had lost a small diamond from it. I ended up having my engagement ring repaired as well, as the claws were worn. Penny was very efficient and promised they could do it within the week I was visiting Cape Town. True to her word, both were ready in time. A job well done.
