Garnet & Diamond Revival: Emotional Jewelry Remake

Here's an emotional jewelry transformation I recently finished. I'm thrilled to take you on a journey through a jewelry restoration that's truly close to my heart. In this video, I'll walk you step by step through the process of remounting a special engagement ring and its matching wedding band. What makes this restoration truly unique is the heartfelt story behind it.

The daughter of the original owner entrusted me with this meaningful project after her mother's recent passing. The set had been left without gemstones, as they were moved to another ring while her mother was still with us. But we're about to change that! Our mission? To fill these empty settings with genuine garnets and diamonds. It's a challenge, as the prongs were destroyed during the previous gemstone removal. But armed with my laser welder and craftsmanship, we're rebuilding every single prong from scratch.

I'll also share a common jewelry repair process—re-shanking a ring. This is a technique I often use to revitalize dated heirlooms, and it might just be the solution you're looking for with your own jewelry. So, get ready to witness the artistry, dedication, and emotion that goes into every step of this restoration.

As we delve into the re-shanking process, you'll see how worn-out shanks are transformed into durable, perfectly-fitted bands. I'll guide you through the precise cutting, shaping, and crafting that leads to a flawless result.

But that's not all; we're also diving into the intricate world of stone setting. I'll show you how I resurrected the prongs, providing a foundation for gorgeous genuine garnets and diamonds. Watch as I cut seats for each gemstone, delicately place them, and secure them with meticulous precision.

And of course, no restoration is complete without the finishing touches. Polishing, cleaning, and even rhodium plating for that extra luster—it's all here.
