You could put it on a jewlers anvil, and retap its round shape.? I have seen this on ebay for a reasonable price.? Good finds & HH Heres a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=4987451782

Just drop over to the mall jeweler and hve him/her put it on the sizer rod. It will get it round again. If there are nicks then you could use the jewelrs anvil or some very nice small hammer and some brass bars and rods . Easily available at the Home Depot. Nice Finds and Congratulations. HH

Nice finds Upier! Here's what I do for small bent rings....Put a wooden dowel though the hole and roll it back and forth on another piece of wood. No chance of scratching it and less chance of breakage if you take your time. HH~CO2

really cute ring and all the clad adds up. keep on digging !!!

Myself, I use a sizing rod and a small leather head hammer but a couple of wooden dowels and a small regular hammer wrapped in a couple layers of cloth should get the worst of it back to size. It doesn't hurt to have a few different sized dowels handy, each about 6" in length. Most rings are about size 6-7. Did have one mother's ring that was size 14 (YES-14), must have been a big mother.

I use sockets from the ole tool chest and a little propane heat from a torch. Tap tap done. No scratches and the heat keeps the thin metal from cracking.

thanks for the information all .. them are some great ideas that i did not think about . like the socket and torch

im up north near salt lake Enole Relics but would be swee to hook up sometime and hunt a spot or maybe two spots but if we find too much them dalmations may want them spots back.

Yeah take it to a jeweler in your area and as long as it isn't broken they can pound it out and make it round again in a couple of minutes.
