Hello Kim & Kelly,

    If the wide band ring is in silver, a quick way to put a taper on
    the band after it is soldered is to simply grind off some of each
    side using the side of a grinding wheel. Capturing the metal ground
    off is difficult, so this is not so good for a more valuable metal,
    but I've done it on silver rings and just ignored the loss. It's
    quick and much more precise than trying to saw off a "slice" of the
    band from each side.
