    Hi David, the Puk welder will do this, I haven't bought one yet, but
    have been thinking about it because of this ability. It uses argon
    gas and from what I understand, it is like a mini TIG welder. The
    other alternative is to design the band so that the titanium is held
    in place by the gold, and either rivet it or solder the gold
    together 

cheers, Christine in Sth Australia
