Hi,

I know you can try not to annihilate diamonds by firing them under carbon in a kiln but as there is no way I can afford let alone store a kiln is there any way of torch firing diamonds? I tried with v tiny cheap ones and although v intact they have gone a little milky, the ruby was fab though. It is for a potential commission that I would love to do. I had wondered if using a carbon block might help? Carving it just a little to embed the bit with the stones? The style of the ring has to be bezel free so the stones must be fireable...

Thank you for any help available!!
