I do this 👇 After closing my ring shank (I used parallel pliers here!), I run a thin saw blade (2/0–4/0, or honestly whatever works for you!) through the seam. I had to correct my caption here, I would avoid lubricating when you saw so you can keep the seam clean! If you’ve done it perfectly, you’ll have to open your saw frame just to get the ring out 😄 This gives you a super flush, no-gaps seam that ensures a great solder every time. 💍🔥
