Hello,
I am new to the forum and wondered whether anyone has a solution or will I have to start again. I spent ages making a mount to set a garnet to some earrings. As I was nearing finished setting the stone, (the earring was being supported in a vice (rubber jaws)), I realised that the earring peg had snapped off. Now I realised that maybe I should have secured the earring in setting wax instead. Is there anyway that I can repair the broken earring peg? I have some thermo-gel paste but am worried about re-soldering a new peg since the seat that the stone is sitting on is only approx 2mm and the heat may damage the garnet. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks ...
