There's more than one way to skin a cat!
These were milled flat, cast, then bent to shape. I had to anneal them 3 times during the bending process (learned the hard way- the first one cracked and I had to laser weld the break).
Engagement ring has 20- .01ct with a 1.5ct center stone. The wedding band has 22- .01's. The sides were notched with a 7/0 saw blade.
If I do this again, I will oval out (oval going up and down with the finger)the holes slightly under the stones since they tend to oval out (the opposite direction) while bending.

Dental Pin
Welp, I just finished it.
I was hoping not to have to put a texture on the background and won't next time (Thanks Jeff!) but it turned out well. The dark areas are shadows (they just look like scratches).
Maybe I can get in good with my dentist and get some free work! NOT!
