| This is a little overkill, but I need to file a notch in the setting to conform to the strange shape of the ring shank. |

| This is the ring shank. It is really two rings stacked up and soldered together. The hole will be behind the stone for cleaning etc. |

| The texture comes from the pressure of the rolling mill. |
