We re-polished the table of this Blue-green Tourmaline
while in the ring
A jeweler in Colorado sent us this ring which had many scratches in the table from being worn for years.
They asked me if we could re-polish the table while it is still in the ring. We do a lot of those.
This gemstone is bezel set. When a gem is bezel set and needs to be repaired, there is more risk for the jeweler to 'remove' the gemstone from the mounting than if it was prong set. And after the stone is repaired, there is also more risk when resetting in with a heavy bezel. That is why they like it when we can repair the stone while it is still in the mounting.
