I accepted a nice assignment on Saturday to create a 925 ring set with 4 pale round saphires. Today I have recieved an email asking if it would be possible to create this ring now in stainless steel. I have never worked with with this material before, so currently unable to reply.
I am guessing stainless steel is not soldered in the same way as silver and gold, but rings are machined on a lathe, am I right? Then the setting of the stones in steel, how would that work? can gold be soldered easily to steel?

Many thanks
