I want to know how much minimum time will it take to change a diamond stone from a ring for the jewellery ppl. Will it take more than 5 mins or even less? If anybody knows it correctly please do advise immediately. The ring has a 0.7 carat diamond stone on it. And is it easy to change that stone?
ring has a 4 prong setting round cut diamond on it. is it easy to take that stone?

it will take more than five minutes. depending on the store, it may take a few days because there are other factors that affect how long it will take, not just size of the stone. are you the first person in line to get your stone changed? if not, its gonna take longer. what type of setting is it in? if its a prong setting, might not take so long. if its a pave setting, could take a little longer. bare min it is definatly going to take probably at least an hour. they need to not only set the stone but then re adjust the setting to make sure it stays in. so dont get impatient, you will be without the ring for a while, probably a couple days regardless of how long the actual process of changing the dimond takes. other people have stuff to get fixed, setting may make things more complicated, they have to match the stone to any other stones that may be on the ring, all sorts of stuff affect time.

It’ll take a lot longer then 5 minutes! If you have a really good bench jeweler, and he has all the tools and castings with him/her, you’re still looking at at least an hour. Remember, you’re talking abuot a very small, very delicate piece of jewelry… gold is soft, and if you heat it too much it will scorch, or not reset properly.. not enough, and it will break instead of bend…. and the stone can be damaged by the heat as well….. if you’re trying to switch a stone out at the last possible second, you may as well forget it….
