Retipping a prong on a diamond ring is the process of replacing a damaged or worn prong with a new one. Prongs are the small metal claws that hold a diamond in place on a ring. Over time, prongs can become bent or damaged, which can cause the diamond to become loose or fall out. Retipping a prong is a relatively simple and inexpensive way to repair a damaged ring and prevent the diamond from being lost.
There are a few different ways to re-tip a prong. One method is to use a laser welder to melt the old prong and then add new metal to create a new prong. Another method is to use a soldering iron to solder a new prong onto the ring. The best method for re-tipping a prong will depend on the specific damage to the prong and the type of metal used in the ring.
