Resizing a Twig Solitaire Ring

If your Twig Solitaire needs to be re-sized, here are some instructions you can bring to your local jeweler.... 

Making your ring smaller:
Because of the continuous detail on the band, it's best if your jeweler removes a section from the front of the ring, right beside the stone. If a small piece is removed from the inside, near your palm, the two ends will have to be hand engraved to recreate the texture.   Please be sure to tell your jeweler EXACTLY where you would like the piece removed from.  One side has a small bud and taking out a slice from that side will change the overall appearance of the ring.
Here are the steps:
cut on top
remove section
reshape
solder using 18K Plumb Gold Solder

file any rough spots
Polish very lightly

Making your ring larger:

Either a piece can be inserted into the back inside of the ring or it can also be made a little larger by filing the inside of the ring.  Please note that this second option will remove the natural organic pattern from the inside of the ring resulting in a smooth surface.

To enlarge by adding a piece:
Cut band in back near palm
Solder in new section using 18K Plumb Gold Solder

File rough edges

Reshape
Hand Engrave texture into new section
