So, i got kind of excited when I ran across THIS post on a major blogging site refering to our trade, or to be more specific, ring cutters. After reading through the article I was struck by the utter lack of any reference to the jewelry trade! You would think after reading it that the only option for removing a ring that you had “outgrown” would be to take a trip to the ER, resulting in 1) a ruined ring or, 2) a missing finger. The article intially caught my attention because I had just commented to a customer that I happened to be removing a ring from, that i have been doing this a lot lately. Which is indeed true, I have cut off more rings in the last 2 months than I have in my entire tenure in the business (does this say anything about the emerging epidemic in our country ;))? Probably not, most cases involved a pregnancy.
The point of my rebuttle though is to say that anybody who finds themselves in need of having a ring removed need look no further than their local jewelry store. I’m quite certain the store would happily remove it for free, but be considerate and leave the item in that store to be put back together in a manner that will enable you to wear it for years to come.
