Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

The removed gold or silver is recycled to offset the cost of the repairs, if we returned it to every customer the average cost of repair would go up as a result. Most customers have no interest in keeping the waste material because they do not have any useful purpose for it, other than put it in a jewelry box. On the rare occasion when a client request the waist back (usually due to sentimental reasons), we will comply with their request, there is a surcharge for this depending on each individual request. I hope this answers your curiosity.

No, it doesn’t

kevin merlos yes, as long as it is a precious metal, gold, silver or platinum.

Just asking this question tells me-- don't YOU work on it, you don't have the skills or knowledge for this type of repair. :) Now are you asking can someone else size your ring? Yes they can, but so many questions come to my mind; Is this a sterling silver ring that is plated with Rhodium (a platinum family metal-- electrode-plating)? Or is it a White gold ring-- also Rhodium plated. No ring is plated with Platinum, some sterling silver rings have a Platinum metal used as an alloy that makes it tougher and brighter (they are proprietor to manufacture); they are also strife with brittleness issues when not properly repaired. So to try to answer your question, you use silver solder on silver, gold solder on gold and platinum solder on platinum--sometimes on platinum but usually you weld platinum not solder it. I hope this answers your question.

Doms Molina we recycle it or if cut from a new we can use it to size another ring up. Most rings have previous solder spots that can contaminate the next repair so they are sent to refinery to exchange for new sizing stock. This is figured into the retail repair charges as a cost averaging formula based on historical statistical formulas.

@@BillLongnecker hi thanks for your reply..however, this is too technical for me..let me try to rephrase my question..the excess metal from my ring do you merge it with my ring again or not?

Doms Molina no we don’t, we remove a piece and recycle it, the recycle piece may be used to add to another ring that needs sized up. When sizing down in sizes we remove a piece. When we recycle a piece for another sizing job-going up in size,- the recycled piece needs to be a slightly a bit bigger than the ring shank being sized up. So using a piece to size up the ring it came out of... makes no common sense. There are lots of technical issues too diverse to type here. Don’t try this at home, I am a professional. 😋

@@BillLongnecker that one I understand now. Thanks bill. More power to your profession. Will have my fiancée engagement ring size down tomorrow. Hopefully we can find someone with enough equipment and expertise as you.

It is a watch bow bending pliers. Most jewelry/watch supply warehouses have them, $30. I apply tool grip plastic to the jaws to protect the rings from "denting".
