WOW! I totally learned how to set a gem in the rings I have been fusing out of silver. This is actually a ring that I made a few weeks ago from two pieces of 10 gauge silver formed in to rings and then fuzed together. I hammered and polished this ring a wore it for a week until I got the courage to drill a setting and place a ruby in it. I got my gems from a PMC supply house and I selected them for thier colorfastness during firing... Ironically, my original plan involved soldering a bezel wire to this band and then crimping in the gem... Instead, I ended up affixing the gem with jewelers resin.
