    This happened the other day. I was called on a Thursday to size a
    platinum ring which had pave.01 pts set in the shank with no holes
    drilled from the back.Oh yeah this held a Round 10ct. Solitare and
    he was flying this ring to his customer the next morning. This ring
    was being sized down and I knew regardless of how much of a heat
    sink I put on the shank,I was going to smoke some Diamonds. I was in
    a situation that it had to be done right now. 

    I had called and said to him that this was going to happen .I had to
    use seamless 1700 solder. This was a $200,000.00 Dollar ring. Well
    after replacing 18 Diamonds he flew the ring to his customer and
    they loved it. 

    No I do not have a Laser yet. After doing this job I really needed to
    see a Therapist. I was totally stressed. 

    Memo to self, get Laser. Doc replace Diamonds
