    David,, I think you may be VERY disappointed with the results of the
    inlay ring.  The colors of the metals will not be what you expect in
    contrast.  You would have to use pure silver, and very high carat
    gold to have it seen,, providing that the carving is wide enough to
    show at all. 

    My answer is based upon my own effort to do the same thing.. and the
    gold solder was swallowed up,, in this case, into the middle of the
    two layers that I laminated.. having sawed out the name of my nephew
    on one thickness which was then applied to the other, and gold
    solder put into the void.  It took LOADS of solder, and in the end,
    didn't really show up.  Would never do that again! I am, however,
    glad that I did it once,, to know not to do it again.. Nothing teaches
    like experience!! 

    Happy designing! Frif..
