Converting her great grandparent’s earrings into two matching pendants

With her wedding just around the corner Batya wanted to surprise her mother by presenting her with her family heirloom earrings that I converted into two matching pendants. I kept all the original gold work preserved so that this special piece of history would maintain its familial significance.

Sizing up and adding 3 diamonds to an eternity band

Diamond eternity bands can indeed be sized. Sometimes the continuous line of diamonds gets interrupted by a piece of gold. That was previously done on this ring and the customer needed it sized larger. So I cut and stretched it open and added another piece of gold but this time I carved out a channel and added in three new diamonds to make the whole ring look as seamless as possible.

Turning dormant gemstones into dazzling dangling earrings

Watch me take these dormant gemstones and bring them to life in a pair of dazzling dangling earrings. There’s two oval cut amythest weighing a combined 5.22 carats and four blue topaz weighing a total of 4.38 carats. I first modified some 14k white gold basket and bezel heads by drilling holes and attaching two handmade jump rings at each connection point. Then I set the stones, polished the parts, and rhodium plated them.

Recreating a complex pattern in a vintage 18k white gold ring

Claire brought in her vintage 18k white gold cocktail ring. It has a very intricate three row pattern that goes all the way around the backside. She needed it sized up but didn’t want to break the pattern. I love these types of challenges and I think I did a pretty good job because Claire couldn’t even tell where it had been sized when she came to pick it up.

Modifying a graduation bracelet with a gifted diamond from her boyfriend

This David Yurman bracelet was a graduation present that Jenna received from her parents but she wanted it modified when her boyfriend got her a beautiful 2ct diamond. I first cut the starburst off the bracelet and then used my laser welder to fill in and clean up the cut marks left behind. Then I shaped a 4-prong head to match the contour of the bracelet and soldered it on. After I set the diamond it was time to convert the starburst into a pendant by cleaning up the backside and attaching a jumpring and a bail. I think this was a lovely way to honor both her parents and her boyfriend.

9-stone Mother’s ring gets fully rejuvenated

This Mother’s ring was in pretty bad shape— the channels were all worn down and many of the stones were loose and chipped. It was pretty much beyond the point of repair so I pulled all the stones out and set them into a new yellow gold ring. With the ring fully rejuvenated the ring can be worn with peace of mind, knowing each gemstone is just as protected as the children they represent.

Damaged platinum wedding set has an easy fix

Did you know that sometimes a diamond eternity band can damage another ring if they’re worn together? These two were worn next to each other for a number of years and over time the girdles of the eternity band’s diamonds carved a chunk out of one of the prongs on the engagement ring. Thankfully the prong was made of platinum and it was a smooth repair to use my laser welder to fill in the notch. Instead of soldering the two rings together this customer opted to add a third ring to sit in the middle, sandwiched between the eternity and engagement rings. A simple, elegant solution.

Removing a stuck ring with dental floss - NO CUTTING!

To remove a stuck ring without cutting it off, a string or a piece of floss works best. I like to use waxed floss as I think it helps grip the finger and the ring. First, put one end under the ring towards the wrist, then with the other end tightly wrap the finger from below the knuckle all the way over the knuckle to compress the swelling as much as possible. Next, pull the wrist side of the floss and unwind it towards the finger tip and the ring will slowly but surely make its way off the finger. Adjust and re-wrap more of the finger as needed until it comes off.

Sizing up two 18KY rings #RingSizing #Jewelry #Soldering

The process of sizing up rings is fairly simple. Once I know what size they are and what size they need to be I just cut and bend them open and supply a piece of a determined size, solder it, round out the rings, and lastly I smooth and shine them up inside and out. Easy peasy!
