40x30mm Antique Silver Cameo Pendant Setting with Ring 767x

A: I am going to say generally no. I guess it depends on the setting, how good you are at removing the ring and how picky you are about the finish. These settings are all plated, so when you cut into them you expose the inner metal or perhaps chip the plating. In addition you are often left with a burr, this needs to be filed down. If it is a one off type of thing, maybe your making this for yourself? then you can probably do it. If I were doing any production work I'd try to find a brooch setting without the ring.
