My first challenge with this remodel was to part an existing piece. It was made up of interlocking sections to create a spring like middle section all 79 remaining diamonds were pave set and needed removing from their housing and rhodium plating removed. Rhodium is used historically plating wise to make white gold look more like platinum, its extremely hard and doesn’t melt well so it was painstaking work to remove this in itself so white gold is often scrapped and swapped fo

A fabulous way to bring heirlooms forward and keep forever, beautiful rings, showing the wear of the years now combined into one to house precious old cut diamonds, the weighty band depth was needed to allow for the iceberg-esk deceptively deep old cuts in order to be sucessfully star prong set without the culet (bottom point) touching the finger.

Not all melt ups are the same. Sometimes they are tricky and it is very much dependent on how the original item was manufactured as to the finished melt up to work from. You have to carefully work this out and the metal needed to achieve a desired design result. I added a touch of gold to get the depth n
