White gold and sapphire ring

White gold and sapphire ring for my wife.  It was supposed to look all gnarled, really, that was my plan.

Here are some pictures during the shaping phase of construction:

At this point the white gold is flat and smooth (those are two other ring shanks in yellow)

I kept the yellow smooth and let the white gold wander.  It is a much harder alloy, which seemed to help this process.
