restore & resize old wedding ring?

I would like to take the beautiful antique diamond ring, that was passed down to me by my grandmother, to have it altered. It is worn on the palm side and very fragile. It is also too large in diameter to fit my ring finger. Who am I looking for to do this – a jewelery store? Diamond store? Any scams I should be aware of?

I recommend a private jeweler. The big chain stores in the mall usually send their items off, so you have no idea how long it will take or the condition it will come back in. They will also charge a bit more to cover their costs, the price of the jeweler who does the work, plus a profit. A private jeweler that has their own equipment can do it in-house, and you don’t have the worry of additional costs added on.
Look in the yellow pages to find independent jewelers near you. Then call them to ask if they do work in-house, or if they send it off. Inquire about insurance, bonding, and other concerns. Tell them what you have, and what you want done. If they are any good, they can tell you over the phone if they work with antique jewelery or not. The ones that think they can do something with it will tell you to bring it in. Take it to as many shops as you can to get estimates, then pick the one in the middle, not the highest or lowest.
