    Dear Dave, I don't take credit for the following info.  My wonderful
    master teacher, a young man originally from Thailand that has been
    doing jewelry since age 7, passed on the info to me and it works
    great!  I have used large-scale low-dome half-round (what a
    sentence) and smaller scale low-dome wires.  When you make the ring,
    turn it dome side in.  The result is a very comfortable ring with a
    flat outside surface.  It can be round, sqaurish, or whatever you
    wish.  The solder seam needs to be slightly beveled inward to get a
    good seam.  Purchased from Hoover & Strong, Inc.:  8X2mm half-round
    for the wider band. 

Good luck.
Kay Taylor
