    I was wondering if anyone has made a ring design like this: If you
    took a band and cut it like you were going to size it, and soldered a
    square w ire about double the thickness of the band, and the square
    wire went past the edge of the band and had a tube setting for a gem.
    This information is for an educational purpose for a discussion I
    was having with another jeweler. I will not be making it, it is about
    how work is protected by copyright. I believe I have seen something
    like this, and that it would not be an uncommon design. If anyone has
    a picture of something like this they have seen, and y ou can e-mail a
    picture off-line, I would appreciate it. This discussion has to do
    with someone thinking they created something that is their design, and
    it should be protected while not copyrighted. If anyone has made
    somehing like this and I can show her a picture, I believe it would
    make her aware of a reality of the jewelry industy that she does not
    have. She got pretty hot about it when I told her her design was fair
    game to be produc ed by anyone. I was not threatening her by telling
    her I was going to make i t. I giving her information that I believe
    she was not aware of.
