Lasered Diamond Ring

A simple ring that doesn’t have a filet of solder joining the three shanks or bezel. I set the melee first, which lets me use a file along the rail for a perfect plane, then carved the inboard ends of the channel and the side shanks to fit the contour of the bezel. Pinpoint accuracy of the laser allows a really neat join without worry of burning the stones. In the past I have torched this kind of thing with the occasional ‘oh-oh’.
