    I have a two 14k band yellow and white gold ring, whose bands have separated slightly. Could they be glued back in place? If so, what glue would you recommend?

    What a waist of gold, if you cut the right amount you’ll have less to file down and increase your productivity.

    No need to submerse diamonds in water when sizing, I routinely re tip prongs directly over diamonds. Diamonds can take the heat. Sapphires and rubies can as well

    Question please answer...…….my sister has a 10k mother daughter ring that needs to be enlarged. Can one supply gold for material to go into ring to be sized ...is that something a customer can request to be done ...or...is it up to the jeweler to do? I understand 10k is more fragile...is that correct? The ring being sized is 10k with 4 stones...needs to go a size larger or 1 1/2 size larger...….can this be done? I would so appreciate your insight.....wonderful video....I did so enjoy it. Thanks so much for your time and hopefully I will hear your answer to my questions....thanks ever so. Johnny/for my sister Geri

      Chandan Dhar buy white gold. it will never hold the rhodium and if you do get it to work it will not last very long. unless you leave out in the rhodium forever using up a lot of rhodium. by then you might has well buy a new chain
