Dear Mark:

    Actually, the piece I'm working on now will have an actual
    geometric design inlayed in platinum on both sides.  I've gone
    and cast the ring in 14k yellow already and made the inlays
    otherwise, I might use the bi-metal casting method.  The design
    is in the center of ea. side and since I've gone this far, I'll
    simply solder them in and hope for the best.  As previously
    mentioned, Rex from OZ sent me instructions on hammering inlays
    into the piece w/o using solder and I think I'll try that next.
    As usual, I suspect it would depend on the circumstances which
    vary with each job. 

Thanks again for your kind reply.

Steve
