Default Re: Looking for help from Jewelers. Repair gone bad!!

it is possible to do this sort of repair with silver and the heat shield, i dunno about turquoise but i have done it with a large heavy included emerald, the trick is to heat it very very slowly, one might even use a kiln then have someone with a second very hot torch get in there and flow the solder, then slowly back off with the flames, air cool, i charged a lot of money for that job i will never ever ever do it again... except for a lot of money.
