had to have my ring cut off..

Kitty777

Due to a medical condition, I had to have a really sentimental ring of mine cut off. It is a really good cut and the ring isn't in pretty good shape otherwise.

Will a jewelers be able to fix it? How much should it cost to have it melted back together?

Thanks

Yes it can be fixed. You may lose the hallmark though, depends where the cut is.

It is in the middle at the back

I know you posted over three weeks ago and may have had to have the ring cut. But when I broke my wrist and my hand swelled the ring was removed by sewing thread. Google the technique if interested.

My nan had to have her wedding ring cut off a few days before she died. I had it repaired and wore it on my right hand for many years - when I got married last year I chose to use nan's wedding ring as my own. The repair was 20 years ago and the ring is still going strong.

It shouldn't be a problem at all as I've had one of mine made smaller & bigger, it probably wont be so thick though now. I can't remember how much it cost, but with me being MSE it wouldn't have been much.

Ask around too, as years ago I chewed my rings up in a wild drunken frenzy, I know Samuels wanted over £100 to put them right, but a small jeweller did it for a tenner. Same happened with the an eternity ring I had made smaller then bigger. Again Samuels wanted quite a bit, but Warren James did it for a fraction of the cost.

A small local jeweler in Warrington (Nobles)charged me £30 after i cut my gold ring off.

It's a good thing that there are amazing jewelers who can fix that. I don't want to go to waste also any sentimental things.

I had my wedding ring cut off, it's quite thick 18 carat, I had the ring made a size bigger when it was repaired. I paid around £50 and you can't tell at all.
