 Does your RING need new PRONGS? Does it need to have the TIPS built back up? Do your RING PRONGS look like flat pads with no to little material over your Gemstone? Has a RING PRONG broken or sheered off? If this has happened, then it is time to have your RING tips RETIPPED. A Jeweler is trained in the craft of RETIPPING and is skilled in this area. Taking your fine jewelry to a Jeweler will provide you with the best support for your RING. If your RING is in poor shape , or the tips have already been reworked, it might be best to have a new head or setting installed, and have the Gemstone reset. Your Jeweler can help. A good RETIPPING job should restore the tips to a “Like New” look. The tips should be just over the Gemstone and higher than the worn tips, leaving a nice finished Bead on all of the tips. Only hard solder should be used for a good quality and long lasting repair.
