Jewellery Repair - Resizing White Gold Diamond Ring 

It's fucking amazing how rough he's being with those files. I mean you go astray with one of those and that ring could be completely done. But he just goes balls deep and has it done.

Great video and you seem to take pride in your profession, a true professional. Many videos on here so a mad man banging away with a metal hammer, great to see how its really done.

I'm glad I found this video because I've been hesitant to get my ring resized lol. Everyone's been scaring me by saying it'll ruin the diamonds and it'll never be the same. Thank you for this! 🙌🏽

Nice job on the sizing. We use 18k testing acid to find the joint. Apply the acid to the bottom of the shank, give it about 30 seconds and wipe it off. If the ring has been sized previously you will see a line.

Bringing back memories, when I was in high school or actually junior high school in my workshop class.

Wow, that's some process. Great job!

Tony, amazing insight into the process of upsizing half eternity rings. Does upsizing on this type of ring pose problems to the stones like in channel setting?

amazing! this is a legit job. I am so impressed.

Very interesting. l like you'r accent.

Thank you Tony! You're the Best!!!

Nice work. Going up in size is always fun.

great video! can you make one about sizing a ring down 1-2 sizes? thanks!

great video! very informative straight to the point and clear! thank you!

That is really cool on how you resize rings!

Another way of adding the solder is on a tweezer save the solder jumping off....heat the solder so it beads up on the tweezer, then introduce it to the ring with the added piece of metal. Personally I would have used a smaller piece of 18ct white as it's expensive to buy fresh metal......plus it cuts down on the filing.

it's not simple great job

BEAUTIFUL work.

cant believe how rough the tools are yet its an excelletn job.....each to his own eh?

Beautiful job. Awesome work

I have a question. I know the ring is white gold. But the material you filled it with was it white gold as well or a different metal? In order to make it larger?

Thank you! I would love to see more of your work, its amazing. Thank you! Tommy

This is fascinating. Great work!

Make more videos . This one was great.

Very cool and informative video!

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

awesome work!!!

Very nice professional work! Does this work on sterling silver? I bought a CZ replacement for work cause I don't want to Rick my diam

Question, I have a similar ring, i will be getting it resized to a smaller size. Do I run a risk after the resizing the diamonds falling out???

Great Video! Does this work with a bezel stone ring? Or just diamond?

after resizing, should the ring weigh less? especially if the jeweller says he added gold. I have been shafted.

Interesting, but I would have liked to see more close-ups of the ring.

Nice job sir

Let me ask you. How is the process on the same ring but reducing the size from 5 to 4.25? Is it safe for the diamonds casing? The diamonds shouldn't fallout after, right?

hai.... i have a question regarding my engagement ring that has been resized down twice, the shape of the ring is not symmetrical anymore... what should i do, without harming the diamonds attached in the ring?

At 2:06 how do you make sure the ends of the ring match up with the ends of the inserted piece so they mate up properly?

Tony! great you are! :-)

I can't believe you don't use boric acid and denatured alcohol before soldering... don't you end up with firescale?

so the little piece thats added isnt precious metal at all?

hi...what liquid are for diamant?...water?

interesting process, thanks for sharing

Master craftsmen

Freaking outstanding!

What was the material he cut to add to the ring? He may have said but I didn't catch it. Thanks anyone.

Because diamonds can't take any heat?

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

awesome!

Amazing!

Amazing!!!

Craziness!

nice

Makes me sick watching u cut it lmaso great job btw n thanks for the video

You used a lot of metal just for that small resize. Surely there’s a more cost effective method of resizing?

I can go that in 3 minutes-/ too many steps

Facevi il fabbro prima di diventare orafo?

Risk my diamond*

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