    Congratulations. I think thats a great idea.

    I can vouch for british blades, I wanted to set a diamond into a tungsten ring for my fiance, with the help of peter B I got it done(after several attempts as I wasn't happy with the results) and just in time for her birthday, couldn't have done it without the help and as we are getting married next year pete is in for a gift for sure!
