    A friend of mine had a jade wedding ring at one time. It was very
    sturdy, but finally broke when struck hard while she was wearing it
    at work. For most people, in most situations, it would probably hold
    up very well. As for a gold band around the outside - perhaps carve
    a channel and have the gold in the channel around the circumference
    of the ring?
