One of the most popular themes for jewelry renovation requests is

Now,

The work of jewelry production begins with making a stone seat that fits the stone that has been cleaned and cleaned.

Make a stone seat where the stone sits neatly without any gaps, and make the arm of the ring accordingly.

After that, it is completed with polishing and stone setting.
