Is it possible to cheaply re-set 2 rings into one?
I have 2 diamond rings. I'm getting engaged and would like to take the diamonds from one and the gold from both of them and create a new ring. What I'd like to know is:
1. Will they melt down and re-use the white gold that the rings are made of and use it in the new setting?
2. Will it cost a lot more to create a setting instead of using a prefab one? I've heard people say it's pretty cheap to get a ring re-set, but I'm not sure if that is just if it's being put into a standard setting.
3. Will the jeweler be willing to use a CZ as the main stone or will they turn up their nose at this?
I know that I'll need to see a jeweler for specifics, but was hoping to go in a little more educated than I currently am. And I don't want to get laughed out of the store when I mention the CZ.

Yes, they will melt down and re-use the white gold. They will purify it first etc. I have had it done by someone on etsy.com (their user name is beyondtherocks) and it turned out great. They use your own gold and you can discuss all specifications. It might be cheaper to get the stones set into a standard setting, but the other way you get something pretty special, made especially for you. Since gold is so expensive at the moment, you could be even better off as you are supplying your own gold.
They will certainly be willing to use a CZ, if anyone ever turns up their nose at this, it would be time to leave their store and never come back. Nothing wrong with combining different stones.

If you ever took precalculus or some other math class which covers properties of functions, you learn how to determine the domain of the function. One of the red flags to look out for is when you divide by zero. In your expression, when x = 3, the denominator is zero. Thus, the domain is every number beside 3. Unfortunately, the number you are trying to plug in (x = 3) is the only number that doesn't work in this function. To see this first hand, you0 can graph this function on a TI-83. If you zoom in on the point of the graph at x = 3, you will see that there is a blank spot there! That is because, as stated above, there just isn't a value of the expression at x = 3. You may say, well it looks like the answer should be 6, looking at the graph. This concept of what the answer "should be" is what limits are all about. The values of the function on the left and right of x = 3 all go towards 6 as you get closer and closer. So we say the limit as x goes to 3 is 6. So even though it is not technically the answer, 6 is your best choice. Zero is absolutely not correct in any sense. The very best answer is to say that the expression is undefined at x = 3. This problem illustrates why 0/0 is called indeterminate. In this problem, 0/0 in a way equals 6. The idea that 0/0 can equal anything is actually the essence of calculus.
