Oldest son dropped his ring while working on his truck. His friend rolled a jack over it before he realized it had fallen out of his pocket.
The stone is fine - but the edge of the ring looks like it was chewed. Its not bent or anything - just chewed. Son is beside himself upset.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Anything a jeweler can do? He ordered his ring from Jostens.
Help!

Not sure what kind of warranty Jostens has, but you could always look them up and give them a jingle/drop them a line.
Otherwise, what a jeweler can do will probably depend on the metal. Do you recall what DS chose?

Do you recall what DS chose? Its silver. I feel like there is probably something someone can do... if they can solder wedding bands together and smooth out the band, it seems like a similar process might work to fix some kinds of damage on the edge of the ring. I'm sure your son isn't the first one to dent a ring while working on a car! However, I have it in my head that a lot of jewelers don't work with silver (I think it might have to do with the actual density/composition of the metal compared to gold) so you may want to look into silversmiths as well. But I think I would start out with Jostens-- maybe they have locals they recommend. |

Ok crisis avoided....DH took a dremel with a really really fine grit and polished it a bit. It isn't perfect...but atleast its wearable and doesnt look like someone chewed it anymore.
Thanks for talking with me!

I'm glad you might have gotten it fixed enough to be OK with it, but it might still be worth checking with Josten's. Back in the stone age, I moved in between my junior and senior years (and we had gotten rings junior year). I was able to send it in and they fixed it for me - it ended up kind of cool, had the seal of school A on one side, seal of school B on the other, kept the stone color of school A and got the name changed to school B. That was all free. So I'd look into what they would do - it might be they'd give him a whole new ring or something.
