Di's 18ct gold and diamond remodel

Di came to me with her beloved diamond ring for cleaning and looking at. It was very worn on one side from wearing stacked up and rubbing against another ring and she was concerned. It was extremely thin around the 5 diamond settings and after a lovely ultrasonic spa we discovered that a diamond had dropped out in the process. That was how close she was to looking a stone - she listened to her gut and took it off and had it checked over - phew!

A complete remodel was needed and we used another 4 grams of gold added to gold that was left of the old ring and the process of making the ring began. This was all hand forged and fabricated with a a hefty amount of extra metal around settings to protect them from future chafe. It has a new lease on life sparkles that will stand the test of time.
