Ring with a Gem Stone Setting

This is a ring I designed as a Christmas/Birthday/Valentine's day present.

Specs:
It's a size 7 ring meaning the ID of the ring is 17.3mm.

The setting is designed to fit a 1.63ct 5.8 x 3.5 mm Round Facet cut stone.

The volume of the ring is 328mm^3 or 6.32g in 24k gold.

The cost of manufacturing this ring from the 3D print service shape ways at the time of the making of this post is:

$8.50 for premium versatile plastic
$17.50 for solid silver
$25.00 for rose, 14k, or 18k gold plated brass
$238.23 for solid 14k yellow, white, or rose gold
$364.30 for solid 18k gold

Above you can see a clear resin print I made at work on the Form 2 and a, 14k solid yellow gold, final version I gave as a gift.
