I have ~10 grams of Rhenium I'd like to have turned into a ring band. The
element is in 3, 1 inch-long pieces in wire form. Given it's high melting

Any advice/admonitions for choosing this metal?





I have worked with rhenium for 13 years now . Please contact me if your
intersted.

It will make a rare ring but it is also expensive to machine. What size
would you want ? Knowing that it can't be resized .
