Has anyone had any experience with baking a ring that has colored side stones? I recently purchased this ring from ebay, it's a diamonique tacori IV with platinum clad.




Tad bit concerned I may ruin the side stone color.

Oooo so pretty! I love your ring. I am no help though. I'm assuming the sidestones are also Diamonique? I wouldn't think baking it would have enough of an affect on something that dark to be noticeable, but I can't say that for sure.

Hi LaLa I have her in the oven at 400 degrees maybe for an hour or so. Let's see how it turns out!

I asked about doing something like this in the past and I was told it could make the colored stones darker potentially. So, I never did it with the colored side stones because I was too scared to try. I hope yours works out for you!

LOL you're as impatient as me. I ask and then don't wait for answer.
I'm surious to see:)

Yeah.. I asked Joyce once because she had baked a ring with colored side stones and she said that if you like the color of the sides any little don't attempt to bake cause it will change the color...

I hope it turns out well! I have a few loose ChrisCZ stones in the oven right now. I think I'm addicted to CZ baking.

This is me! Delayed gratification is not in my vocabulary. Anywho I baked it 1 hour at 400. I think it turned out nice! The sapphire sims look the same and the CZ looks slightly less blue. Might do another hour tomorrow!
Thanks girls for the advice

Looks great. Glad you are happy with it. I haven't had anything come out bad yet in my baking experiences.

It looks terrific.... glad the sapphires didn't go darker on ya...

Congrats! And thanks for the great comparison photos. They show the contrast really well.
