Good morning to you all and this morning I thought I would discuss RE-TIPPING!
A customer recently gave me this beautiful Diamond ring she owns, to have a look at. Under the jewellery loupe, I could clearly see that the gold has worn dangerously thin and you can see the Diamonds are being held by very little. I highly recommended re-tipping.
What is re-tipping? Retipping a ring is a common repair where a jeweller rebuilds worn, thin, or damaged prongs (claws) that hold a gemstone in place. This process involves adding new, matching metal to the tips of the prongs to strengthen them, ensuring the stone remains secure and preventing it from falling out, extending the ring's life.
