Long time, no post. But I''m back to ask a feasibility question to the pricescopers and jewelers here.
So, a while ago I posted about the allergy problem my fiance was having with the ring I had made, pictures/details of which are here:
Pics of my (former) TR-105
Basically, after a few months and trying a few things, including a platinum plating, I''ve had no luck with getting the TR-105 to work with my fiance, so I''m pretty much back to square one. I don''t have the 3500 dollars it would take to replace the ring in platinum and I don''t think it''s wise to do so anyway. I''ve already pissed away a lot of money on the original 14K tension, but that''s ok, I''ve accepted that. But, we love the design though, so...
What I''m wondering is the feasibility of creating a ring virtually identical to my TR-105 but non-tension. That is, connect the two sides of the bypass with metal, hopefully only around the middle girdle and leaving the bottom open in the same way that the tension does. Has anybody seen anything done like this? I''ve personally seen some pics of non-tension rings trying to appear tension, but I''m wondering if this particular ring can be duplicated traditionally.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Obviously this is mainly while I wait on the weekend, since I''m going to be actually e-mailing custom jewelers to find out for sure...
