We had a great experience doing this in a much less hardcore way through this company: https://withtheseringshandmade.com/

I'd recommend to anyone who is interested but does not have the skills to make a ring on your own. Great weekend trip from Seattle too.

We did something like that as well. Cost was comparable to just buying rings (most of that was the gold, anyway). We started with a blank strip of metal with the correct cross-section, which was first bent, then soldered together, then sized appropriately and polished. Was a fun day.

How much did you end up paying?

I don't remember exactly, but somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000.
