    I'd just like to thank who ever posted the link to the Mokume-gane
    videos, I fund one that showed the making of a ring with out
    seams/welds/soldering/joins of any kind, and having watched it once I
    just knew that "I can do this"; so I did. I did it with a twist
    though, as I used what I had and what I had was some 3.2mm square
    sterling silver wire, so to keep the proportions close to what I
    call ideal I ended up making a ring that is 12mm OD with a shank
    thickness of 0.9mm and a width of 3.0mm. Now I found this technique
    to be rather easy to do even while making a ring that is effectively
    BD scale. So having done it once I know that I will always be able to
    do it, so thank you for making it possible for me to add another
    string to my bow of skills! 

Cheers, Thomas.
