Can I melt down a gold/diamond ring and have another ring made for the diamonds?
Argyle asked:
I have a ring with about 25 diamonds in it. I would like to make an eternity ring out of the diamonds… any idea if it is possible to melt the gold and do that? What would be the cost?

Or the jewelers can just pop the diamonds out of the ring and put them in another,..

Yes, you can do it although it might cost more than just buying a ring and transferring the diamond. You’ll probably have to call your local jewelers for pricing.

No melting needed. They can reset them, I am guessing 300 for all of it, including the new setting or “ring”

i guess, u are asking so, coz u arent in india. in india, this is known as resetting, the diamonds are cut out from the prong( if any) , used to set in same ring or another. the gold is either melted and reused, but with decreased purity of gold. there is also wastage involved in melting and remaking of a gold ring along with high labour costs. if you can find a jewelery maker in your country to do so..even i dont know how much it’ll cost, but on an average, it does work better to give away the ring in exchange of new ring else give away just the gold and reset the diamonds.

Too much of the gold would disappear in the melting and cooling process to be able to make another ring. Unless your current 25 diamonds are of significant weight each (think over .10 ct each) it would be cheaper to just buy a new ring.
If you really want to keep the stones you have, look to spend at least $300-$600 for a setting, plus another $300-$400 for the labor involved in taking your stones out and resetting them in an eternity band…
