First step is to cut the pin off and anneal the metal with a torch. Next, we smooth the breaking point down and prepare the back of the pin head to be attached to the band.

Looks like it'll be around a size five and a half to six, but it could always be resized for the buyer. Buyer. She decided to use the laser to attach the ring head, but in order to do that, the band needs to have a point on either end no we'll sand those down before taking it to the laser to fill them in. After connecting the ring head with the band and making sure it's nice and round, we no the inside of the ring feels a little rough no we'll smooth that out before cleaning up the shoulders at the connection spots. Finally, the ring gets a good polish and cleaning. We make sure the diamonds are still tight and this upcycled piece of antique jewelry is complete. You'd never know this ring used to be a stick pin.
