[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 589469, member: 10304"] There's a lass in Victoria who casts silver around the rough gems, makes rings, pendants, all sorts. Volcanic gems can take the heat so it can be done with either Silver or Gold, she also does teaching tours though that might be on hold right now. I think the process is making a wax of the ring, setting the stones before creating a mould and melting the wax out, then pour the metal and break the cast open and polish. [/QUOTE]
