Since OP likes symbolism, it's worth keeping in mind that wedding rings are never supposed to have a seam - they're symbolizing, amongst other things, eternity.

- wakawaka28 2y agoA properly soldered ring with the right treatment will not have a seam. On the other hand, castings can easily end up with imperfections and porosity, especially in the hands of an amateur with limited equipment.
- groby_b 2y agoWhen you talk about symbolism, it really doesn't matter if you can see the solder seam. Yes, of course a good jeweler doesn't leave visible seams. (Heck, a mediocre one doesn't either) But the message of a cast ring is "it never had a beginning or an end. It's forever" And if you read OPs post, they care about symbolism.
