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

This has been an interesting post. I had a trade shop and we had 10 jewelers at one time to do repairs for. I must admit that we had problems , all kinds but in over 35 years working on other peoples creations admitting to these mistakes and taking care of them only made us more trusted. AND I have had the privilege of figuring out how to repair work of some of the old master craftsmen ( craftsmen much like some of you). I wouldn't give up getting that knowedge for anything.
Also in those years of work we got a lot of practical experiance maybe 400,000 different articles. Out of all those items way less than 1/10th of 1% problems.
If you don't known the gem, the metal or method of construction check it out first or ask your freinds here. chickenscratcher
