Ring sizing: Platinum, Gold or Silver
Ring Guards: Help to keep a ring from twisting on a finger. These work best when the knuckle is not over 1 size larger than the back of the finger.
Shanks that open over knuckles and close to fit the back of your finger, to help people with larger knuckles, so they can still wear their beautiful jewelry.

Traditional Torch Solder vs. Laser Weld Repairs

Not every store has a laser machine. This hi-tech machine is used by jewelers instead of using a torch
A torch uses a high heat flame to join metal together and has been even since Cleopatra had her ring made by an artisan. A torch is very safe & used in over 90% of all jewelry procedures where you need to join or attach two metals
A torch uses heat and heat can be harmful to fragile stones. If a fragile stone, like emerald, is on top of the ring & we size it at the bottom there is no chance of harm, we simply turn the ring upside down in a small tub of water for protection. Torch close to stones (like emeralds set down the sides of the ring) can be in harm’s way.
A laser machine joins two metals together not using heat, rather a focused light beam that melts a very small area of metal. The benefit is there is very little heat generated at the melt point, allowing the jeweler to weld within 1/2 to 1mm of heat sensitive areas without removing stones.
Requires extensive technical expertise to perform laser welding correctly.

Using a torch uses solder to join the two metals. The joint is not as strong as it was before it was cut for sizing.
When using a torch the solder joint (especially white gold & platinum) can and often do sometimes show a “seam” where the work was done. Not always but it does happen often enough. This seam can become apparent later as the shine wears off of the ring.
A laser welder uses the same type of gold to size the ring not solder.
The ring will not show a seam.
The joint is stronger than a solder joint. It’s almost as though the ring had never been cut.
Being there is no heat used there is no “softening” of the ring structure nor chance of damage to nearby stones.
The benefits far outweigh any expense. In fact many jewelry manufacturers are now exclusively using a Laser machine to make many of their items.
