In this video @monzonjeweler is sizing down a ring that has a stone that can’t tolerate heat 🔥in realtime!

“Whenever I have a stone that cannot tolerate heat, I use a wet rag, tightly wrapped around the stone and metal to keep it cool. I make my torch really hot!!🔥 so solder melts right away, no lingering. This ring is in 14k white, size down from 11 - 9”

Thank you so much for allowing me to share! People have used bowls of water and wet sand and heat protect products. Always proceed with caution! This is a great technique to add to the toolbox. We appreciate you!!
