Dear Vikas,

>     I have designed several rings with filigree work between two
>     shanks. My problem is in polishing the fine filigree. 

    A rotary tumbler with mixed steel shot or a CMF (centrifugal
    Magnetic Finisher) will polish those hard to reach places easy.
    Depending on the piece expect about 20 minutes to 2 hours in a
    traditional rotary tumbler and 10 to 20 minutes in a CMF. And you
    save yourself the headache of finding and paying someone to do it. 

    Tools are so COOL! 

Sincerely,
Thackeray Taylor
