A client brought a ring for resizing, increase two full sizes. Of
utmost concern is the 12 x 14mm jade cab which appears to be
chemically bonded in place. My preference would be removing the cab
prior to any work. Often times a small amount of heat will soften
epoxy allowing easy stone removal. Will jade withstand it? This stone
is completely open in back. The adhesive is very evident in a couple
of areas.
Ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.
