If a jeweler has to solder a new head to a platinum ring with white gold as to not burn the side diamonds with the heat needed to solder with platinum, how does the jeweler then set the stone into the platinum head. Is heat involved in this part of the process? How do they bend the prongs over the diamond to hold it in?
Would a jeweler size a platinum ring with platinum if the ring has stones set in it, or would they be likely to size with white gold for the "heat" reason?
If I have a platinum ring with pave diamonds that needs a new head to hold the center stone and I need my ring sized down, what kind of work should I expect a good jeweler to do? I have have received mixed information and am needing some input.
I hope someone can help.
