cool!
I'd give that a try if I could come up with the diamond on the cheap.

I do have several loose stones like a black diamond, Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires, and Amethysts I could do that with.
Instead of a nut I am thinking why not a SS thick washer or Brass washers that are thick so not as much work taking metal off. I really like how he taken the nut and did all the work on it for the diamond setting. Pretty cool there to.

Thanks Bruce Being an ex-machinist I have turned all kinds of metals and of most of them Titanium is the worst and the most brittle but I have made a few rings from that as well just not like his nor as fragile. He has a few other YouTube on making other rings out of other stones and does a great job there to.
