Hi All
I have today been asked to create a simple ring with a stone bead that is held in place by riveting the gold through the bead to the shank, the bead will stand proud of the finger. Just now the gentleman has called to ask if the ring can be made so that the bead can be removed using a screw and other beads with a screw fitting be made from various beads etc.

It will be made from probably 1.5mm square or 2mm gold wire, how easy is it to create a good fitting screw?

What other suggestions do you have?
