    Jillian, yes it is possible and safe, and IMO platinum is the best
    metal for what you suggest. Two caveats: The #1 mistake novices at
    designing such pieces make is to not allow for the height of the
    stone in the band, and the culets poke through the bottom. Second is
    that flush setting a square stone is pretty advanced to do well....
