- Our jeweler first measures the ring to determine the current ring size.
- Then, using a gauge, he determines how much metal must be removed to achieve the desired ring size.
- Using a jeweler's saw, the required amount of gold is expertly removed.
- With the help of a special pliers, our jeweler carefully bends the edges of the shank back together.
- A piece of solder is wedged in the split in the shank.
- To protect the gemstones from the heat of the torch, the ring is dipped in a solution of boric acid and alcohol.
- The piece is melted entirely throughout the seam.
-
Our jeweler allows the ring to cool to room temperature. Then the piece is put into a pickle solution to remove the boric acid and flux.
- The solder is filed down to be even with the rest of the shank.
- Our jeweler then will clean up the inside of the ring shank.
- He places the ring on the mandrel to round the shape and check the size.
- All stones are then checked.
- Finally the ring will be polished and cleaned in the ultrasonic.
