ring repair

Hi, I have a question, does anyone know how to repair a silver ring?
I was in an accident and the paramedics had cut all my rings off and I
would like to know where on the internet I can get the supplies
neededto fix them.
Thank you, sugar

There are many jewelry tools suppliers.

Gesswein.com
Contenti.com

are just two I like.

However, if you're doing this from scratch, you'd be much better off finding a
jeweler to do it for you. The cost to repair even a fair number of silver rings
is a good deal less than the investment in tools you'll need to do this right
yourself. There are no doubt a number of fine jewelers reading this newsgroup
who'd be happy to help you out via the U.S. mail.

You'll then get a better, more professional repair job, and save money and time
too. Silversmithing is not a totally inexpensive field to get into...

Would be cheaper just to take it into a working goldsmith.
I charge £5 and the materials wouild cost far more.

As the sun rose on Sun, 03 Sep 2006 08:30:34 -0700, the distinguished
and oh so talented "Castle Jewellers"
climbed up to the podium, shuffled some papers, took a sip of ice
water and shouted in a loud voice:

True.

On a related note:
The tool we jewelers (or goldsmiths) use to cut a too-tight ring off
is similar to that used by paramedics.
The ones we buy are, like almost all jewelry tools, way expensive.
I found a medical supply house here in the White Trash Mountains=AE of
Tennessee for a mere $13.00US (=A36.83) !
And it has that "medical look" to it as well.
Maybe I'll do an eBay thing with it. Oh yeah, the blades are much
larger than the ones sold by jewelry supply houses and they sell
replacements.
