I know it's your trade secret, but it's REALLY bugging me that I can't figure out how you do those #$%^&* inlays!

 

[btboone]

Bob, it is a technique I developed myself. The inlay is seamless and I have a patent pending. Different woods, acrylics, or reconstituted stones are possible. Although it's hard to choose, I think the rosewood burl is my new favorite. I don't wear a ring in the shop, but when I wear one, I wear this one.

Three Rings for the Elven Kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf Lords in their Halls of Stone,
Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne in the Land of Mordor, where the shadows lie,
One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

Tolkein had a wonderful way with words. He conveyed the mythic mood of a whole world with that dark poem.

secretagentmann, watch the hammer and wrench on the tungsten ring. Although they are hard, they are relatively brittle. You can actually shatter one by throwing it hard to the ground. I had to stop offering platinum inlays in my tungsten rings because I would often crack the tungsten as the inlay was hammered in. Platinum's just way too expensive to have that happen.

On the rare occassions that I wear a ring, I wear one of these.
It is 6al4v Tia with different assorted inlays, Ruger grip inlay, back of a 44 casing of mine, a 110 pin the boss was giving out to favored employees at the time and a blank one for my lady. I have never decided what to put in it.
I used to make these back in the early 90's at the machine shop I am employed at. Sadly we were bought by a large corp and we are no longer allowed to do side projects.:jerkit:

 

[Esav Benyamin]

... I wear one of these.

That's great, really personalized. They look good, too; nice work.

 

[btboone]

Nicely done. It sounds like her ring needs a big honkin diamond.

I did a ring a while back where the lady thought she had a 2 carat stone. It turned out to be a 5 carat tanzanite on a size 3 ring. That was extremely huge on such a small ring. It was tough to make it look somewhat normal.

 

[SIFU1A]

i wear just a std graduation ring from st edwards U.

a buds brother (who passed away) was a asst. coach with the dallas cowboys in '76 to '79 or so and has IIRC a '77 superbowl ring ya dont see those everyday, really impressive.

 

[ArchAngel]

Thanks Esav and Mr Boone,
I always enjoyed making them for friends and family, with inlays that they would like.
I have never gone beyond milling and in one case EDMing recesses for flat bottomed items. A diamond would be cool but I do not knot how to make a setting to mount the stone.

Here's my wife's favorite. I made this for her on our anniversary. The rings are titanium with a proprietary technique I call Mokumanium that gives 3D texture. It has the look of mokume gane or Damascus without having to do the forging part. It works on a few different metals such as steel, titanium, and a couple others. The stone is held in what's called a tension set. It relies on the springy nature of titanium to hold the stone in preload. It's a pretty understated and classy look.
