<p>[QUOTE="Patriot Coin Ring, post: 2509438, member: 81618"]Yea, just like your image shows and as Nathan said, you can find some like myself who will do it. It's not cheap and not easy. The reason being because gold softens easier than silver and I have a higher rate of flawing the ring or ending up with an uneven wobble in comparison to silver. The higher cost to make one is because the crafter takes a much higher risk that if it ends up flawed, we need to replace it and is very costly (I'd far rather prefer to replace a clients silver than a gold coin). I've done a few gold rings but what I honestly get more requests to make one from silver then put a thick 24K or 18K Gold or Platinum plating on it with our electroplating machine. Putting a nice thick coat on gives it all the appearance of solid gold you want without the high cost or risk of loss. My machine is a true electroplating machine designed for thick coating and not a brush-on gold electroplate which can only do thin coats.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
