Hi Cindy.

    I would suggest you stop trusting the jeweller with the laser
    welder. Being able to weld blods of metal onto a ring without ever
    having used an engraver to refasion the serounding metal, but rather
    "using cup burs and a file". hmmmmmmmm. Is it a wonder she said it
    was artless? 

    I think you said this was an all diamond ring. So you opted for a
    lazor welder because it was more trendy? This ring could taken heat
    and could have be solder. Okay, so you went laser, because it's
    pure. Not to know what to do with the metal after either being welded
    or soldered is not an option in this job. 

    Ask you laser welder to hand cut a diamond plate for you from sheet
    stock with engravers. If it's straight, then keep him, if
    not......................
