This ring was made in solid white gold with man made stones. I had to hand cut the two center stones myself and set them PRIOR to setting the middle bar and stone across the top. Every time I hit the bezel with my setting hammer and rocker the stones would both jump a tad and shift orientation... so that step took a while until I had the brilliant idea to hold them in place with bees wax. Later I steam cleaned it off. The middle bar came next. That was then WELDED in place. Without damaging the other stones. I held my breath a lot for that part. The rest of the ring was cake.
