This around 1880 ring, 18th revival, had a bad issue on the enamel front.
Repair proceed I attempted:
1/ filled the cracks with polymer clay, put it in the oven at 110 celsius for 10 minuts.
2/ colored the repair with permanent markers with blendes to lighten colors.
3/ applied resin varnish to secure the polymer in place.
4/ unpolished with nail buffer to get the mate effect it had originally.
Et voilà :-))
Good work on the repair!
Great work... Beautiful piece...

Sure hope that's a finger it's on in the 2nd pic! Well, nobody else wanted to say it. So I did! LMFAO!!!
Hey Bb2! Why "hope" it is a finger?
Some fantasy in this matter would be nice for adding some hot spice to life ;-P
Thanks for your funny input, makes my day, lol!
Thanks Phil for your hint!
Thanks Manikin!
