    All, I have a question ... I fabricated a ring in gold. Basically,
    this ring is made up of two wires criss-crossing each other (it was
    made in wax first) at several points (my wife keeps calling it
    'baroque' (sic) while I insist on semi-expressionist primitive
    rococco, but contemporary is acceptable too). Anyway, I have now the
    plan of casting the same ring twice again, once in yellow gold and
    once in white gold. Then, I want to saw the rings and to assemble a
    new, bicolor one. There are two problems. First, I would have to
    solder the white and the yellow pieces together at perhaps eight or
    nine places. I don't know how to approach this. How to solder all of
    this without the whole thing falling apart? 

    Second, while I think that a bicolored ring like this could be
    pretty, I am not convinced that the yellow and the white would
    contrast optimally. The ring has to be in gold, so I cannot use
    Sterling for the white and oxidize it. Does someone has a suggestion?
    Thank you for reading. Best, Will
