I was looking at my sisters ring holders which are at least 30 years old (I think). They are probably from China or something. I was wondering how they would do this work in production and not thermal shock it. It seems like they tack the ends of thick pink stringer to a white base, put on another row of stringer going the other way, stick on another piece of white glass. Slump the stringers down then heat and mash the end of the stringers to the top rim which has good gold paint on it. Any ideas how they might have controlled the temperature and prevented thermal shock? The photos are on Yahoo! I hope you can see them, I have had a hard time with the net running really slow on my PC.
