I have a garnet ring (7? garnets set together in a flower pattern) set in an unknown gold-toned metal (it was 60 euros a decade ago at a shop in France, the garnets are a dark red). The metal seems pretty soft as the prongs have bent over time, so I've been considering getting the stones re-set in a new ring (same flower pattern) but a stronger metal. Would I be better off just getting the current ring repaired or whatever they can do to straighten and possibly strengthen the prongs or is re-setting a better idea?

Questions about jewelry cleaning: Is there a way to clean copper jewelry and/or protect it from tarnishing? I have earrings made from oak leaves covered in copper (so there are a bunch of tiny holes) but the edges have begun to tarnish. Also, what is the best way to clean sterling silver? I have necklaces with intricate surfaces (not smooth surfaces) and also earrings that are all twisty (although each surface is smooth) that have tarnished.

I could have sworn that back in the day someone in this thread posted a jewelry insurance company recommendation, but I can't find it now. Can someone recommend a good company?
