I have been asked to make a pair of wedding rings for the summer. They will be very simple in shape and form; court shape. However the happy couple want red gold on the inner, and white gold on the outer.
Do I sweat solder the two strips of gold together then form the ring, I can see there can be issues here if the two are not truly together. Or do I make the two rings, inner and outer, heat up the outer to expand the metal a little allowing me to bash, the inner ring inside the outer. Again if the rings are not perfect in shape at this stage there will be issues.
Which of these processes will be easier to carry out, create less stress and provide a better result for my client?
Many thanks for your comments and any other suggestions.
Les.
