J.- I can highly, highly recommend the couple that own a place in Plano called Customer Color Fine Jewelers:
Custom Color Fine Jewelers
6509 W Park Blvd., Suite 450
Plano TX

Oscar and his wife have owned this place for about 22 years. I worked in the jewelry business so I know who's good and who to steer clear of. Both are GIA Grads and both run this store. They are great at fixing things and at desiging and making items from collaberation stage of design through to the finished piece. And I've always found their prices to be very fair.
I would at least visit with them before you make your final decision.
Another designer in the Dallas/Turtle Creek area is Matthew Trent -- 2508 Maple Avenue, Dallas, TX 75201; Studio: 800-292-6842 (matthewtrent.com). He's very creative and highly thought of in the industry as well.
Good luck, hope one of these works for you.
