Hi! I made a ring that needs to be handed over tomorrow and I was really happy with it then just saw in a certain light I can see the solder join faintly! How could I get rid of it? Do I need to start again>?

Unfortunately solders dont always match, particularly if you are using medium or easy, but not so much with hard.

The only remedy is to have a very close fitting joint. Hopefully your customer will be forgiving, or accept it in the interim, while you make a new one.

Welcome to the forum, Dennis.

I'd suggest you get yourself one of these https://www.theloupestore.co.uk/Tech-Line-Series/Tech-Line-watchmaker-s-magnifier-327.html which will enable you to see where you need to make any improvements to your finishing etc, if any.
