Violet was on vacation in Venice when she spotted this vintage style Asscher cut diamond ring with a sapphire baguette halo. Not long after bringing it home one of the prong snapped off. She’s lucky the diamond didn’t fall out. Instead of rebuilding the one prong, I decided to cut off all of the prongs and replace them with double claws. These are stronger as they double the surface contact of the metal holding the diamond, but they’re still delicate enough to complement the clean geometric lines of the design. I also added a milgrain detail along the inner edge of the halo. Violet’s ring now has the look and strength it deserves.

Came for the fixing, stayed for the amazing lighter collection
I wasn't sure at first, but jt came out nice
You gave her a more valuable ring. Beautiful work man.
Excellent job!❤😊
Now you altered that stones color with that blow torch
Oh my what a diffrence <3 : D that looked so much better : D
Soldering right next to sapphires! That was very brave of you.
Violet has wonderful taste, that ring is beautiful
VEGEMITE??? That’s crazy
Is there a reason you didn't need to remove the gems before using the torch? My silversmithing teacher told me to remove them/submerge them in water to prevent them from cracking due to the heat.
have you ever lost a jewel in your shop? Like had a crystal fly off and couldn’t find it? What did you do besides cry?
Double claws are just what was needed, and you saved the future of further trouble.😊😊❤
Pretty good job, looks 10x better.
Beautifully done ❤
absolutely gorgeous
Not very good
Please tell Violet I say that ring is absolutely stunning.
You do amazing work. The final product looks great. What a beautiful piece.👏
You did a fine job, to me itself more beautiful now ❤. Keep doing what you're doing because it's Magnificent ❤
I think you did an absolutely outstanding job on this ring – it looks amazing and it looks like its worth at least double now than when it came in to you.
Those prongs came off WAY TOO EASILY 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
The end result is even more beautiful.
