How is a prong usually fixed on a white gold diamond ring ?

Re-tip 鈥?The broken prong base is filed smooth and metal is added to the break. The metal is then positioned over the diamond and smoothed and shaped.



Re-built prong- The entire prong from the break to the base is removed. A metal wire the same thickness of the other prongs is soldered in its place. The metal is trimmed and the tip is shaped and smoothed over the top of the diamond.



Good Luck!
