Hello audisadi,
We had leather jackets made at French Leather in Jl Sahadewa in Legian. Maybe not the area for you. They also copied a mans handbag and did a terrific job.
Yes, you can take an old ring and have it melted down. Take old bracelets, ear rings, clips, clasps etc, anything you dont want or wear anymore. Toko First at Bali Hai Hotel will remake, remodel or repair your jewellery. I have had a ring made, ear rings, they have gold plated a harmony ball, enlarged some rings, cleared some and they (Usually) produce fantastic results. Give yourself plenty of time and check out the work in the light, and if its not quite to your specs, then you have time for them to change.
Its around au$50 to make a ring if you provide the gold and stones.
Take a taxi to Bali Hai resort and as you enter the hotel walk around to the left and on the left of the passageway you will see the shop. They are usally open from 10 ish to 5 ish, maybe ring first to check 0361 75 3035 or 081 236 38965
