is it possible to convert a high polish ring into a matte finish?

Take your ring to a reputable jeweler and see if they can matte the finish by "brushing" the finish.  They have the right tools and can advise whether it would be possible with your ring.

try using  flat black instead. it'll look bitching bad ass and be way easier. tremclad makes a decent one. but if you're set on a glossy finish, listen to the first guy.\n\n\ngood luck

Sand old clear coat with 400 grit sandpaper till shine is gone. Dont sand the clear coat off to the paint.Then recoat with clear. Make sure you test it out to make sure it is compatible with new clear coat do a small unconspicuous area first. thats what i would do anyways, anyone else.

Most efficient? If you don't have a lab, then I would assume just doing your best at grinding off the top layer, and trying to melt the shreddings down into a >70% gold alloy. Since gold's melting point is OVER 1000 degrees Celsius, I suppose your best bet is to heat the grindings as much as possible, and then pounding them together into a single mass (like a black-smith...or 'gold-smith'). But you have to realize HOW LITTLE gold is actually on there. The layer is so thin...sometimes merely 2-3 micrometers. You're gonna get a lot of impurities, such as nickel and copper. Gold-plating is usually done on copper or silver; and in the case of copper, a thin layer of nickel is placed below the gold. And since the melting point of nickel isn't that far from that of gold, and copper's is almost EXACTLY that of gold's, you're gonna get a random mixture of crap. I imagine the process is more trouble than it's worth. I'd just go buy gold from alfa aesar or somewhere like that for cheap-as-free.

Try using a metal brush.

I'm afraid there are none such available except by the company that sells it. Try them, or do it yourself.

Did you try the manufacturer's site? It's in Polish - hope you can read it?

You could lap the surfaces on a piece of glass with some wet/dry sandpaper.  I do this to flatten the bottom of handplanes, and start with 150 grit and go on up in grits.  You can get to a mirror finish if you are patient and go 150, 220, 320, 600, 800, 1500, etc.  The auto parts store might have the very highest grits for auto body finishing if you can't find them in general hardware.\n\nI would flatten first then center drill for the threaded hole.  You might throw things a little out of square if you drill first, then flatten.

Supplies you'll need:\na good shoe polish\na clean white cloth (new t shirts work well, old are close) \na glass of hot water\nLOTS of time\n\nwind the cloth thightly on your first two fingers. insure the surface is smooth (no wrinkles or creases) where your finger tips are. \nRub some shoe polish on the cloth. Dipskightly in the hot water. \n\nRub the polish on the shoe in a circular motion, first in large circles, then in progressively smaller circles. Rub until the polish is smooth and no longer cloudy on the shoe.\n\nAdd more polish. Repeat. A lot. \n\nThe more polished you want the shoe, the longer this takes. For a mirror shine, you're going to have to fill in the pores on the leather (leather is after all animal skin).\n\nA "business" polish can be done in as litle as 5 to 10 minutes, per shoe.

No there isn't.  To change the colour of a porcelain fused to metal crown you are going to have to have a new crown made and placed.

I hope you mean the ring itself, and not the diamond.\nTake it to a jeweler.  They can put a little adjustable band thingy on it so it will fit the finger better.  That costs about $5-10.  Or they can torch the ring & actually MAKE IT smaller.  Won't work on CZ's, because they'll burst, but a good quality diamond should be able to withstand the heat used to modify the size of the ring.

pewter? yes, depending on the grade of pewter

There are two ways. One is to "Flame" polish. A propane plumbers torch or a small hand held butane torch will work. It takes a bit of practice, and if you dont move along the edge fast enough you can catch it on fire or melt it. Stay at the tip of the flame.\n The other way is to wet sand with silacon carbid sand paper, start with 100 grit about 10 strokes, then 320 grit 10 strokes then 600 grit 15 strokes, keep flushing your sand paper in water and keep the edge of the acrylic wet.\n Then put a cotton buff wheel in a drill, put some white buffing rouge onto the buffing wheel(while its turning) then buff the edge making lite level strokes across it, about four or five times, you dont want to heat it while buffing so dont lay into it, and wait in between strokes to let the heat diapate.  Last step is a clean new buff to take the grease of the rouge off and bring it to a super clear luster shine.  If you heat it to much when buffing it gets a white mare, if so you will need to resand and buff.\n In lou of a drill a place called caswell sells a nice 1100 speed standing buffer for about $150.
