Thanks, Christine-

    One acquaintance suggested that I fashion an inner sleeve, along
    with two rings of gold wire, one for each side of the stone ring,
    that I epoxy the stone ring and both wire rings in place on the
    liner, and burnish the sleeve up on both edges to retain the wires
    and the stone ring. I am not over enamored of the epoxy, but may try
    soldering one wire on the sleeve, adding the stone ring and the
    second wire, and burnishing a lip up to hold the ring and second
    wire in place. Some variant of this is probably the best way to go.
