Construction of two wedding rings.
Ring 1- \\~Mabs Bathoris’ Wedding Ring - Orichalc body & Corusca gemstone mined from Yavin Prime.
An eternal link alchemization.. with the rings Mab & Terrogate can always sense and find each other through the Force, no matter the distance or obstruction. Similar to the “blood trail” spell.
Ring 2- \\~Terrogates’ Wedding Ring - Phrik with Electrum Detailing

~……Process……~
Terrogate sits in the Forgeworks waiting for his delivery of raw materials to arrive for this very special order. 
In his time here he had made lethal blades and incredible armour, but this time It was he and his betrothed's very own wedding rings he would be creating. 
His ears prick up as he hears the front doors open, Terrogate heads to the front of house and meets the three large security who after an ID check hand over a high security briefcase and the security code. 
Heading back to the rear forge room Terrogate enters the code into the electronic keypad unlocking the briefcase and checks the special materials, pleased to find his special order was delivered in full. They had been difficult and costly to acquire but his lifemate was just as rare and beautiful as the ring he would soon forge for her. And lucky for him, Lord Solus’s high profile mining contacts throughout the Galaxy ran deep. 
Golden Orichalc metal and a highly sought after purple Corusca gemstone from Yavin Prime for the forest Witch. The near indestructible mineral phrik mined from the phrikite mines of Gromas 16, coupled with Abregado-rae mined Electrum for the golden detailing for his own. 
To start the process off the Artifex of Tollere built two small boxes that would serve as the molds for the rings.
Taking bags of sand he began filling the boxes using a brick to pack down the sand every couple of inches until both boxes were full.
He then took two pieces of foam and carved them into the general shapes of the rings that were to me made. Mabs was smaller, with leaf designed edges between where he would set the beautiful and rare Corusca gemstone. The leaves, a symbol of their home and lives together on the forest world of Batorine. His was larger and a full circle, again with leaves detailed but cut into the outer band. 
Terrogate then placed the foam pieces into the sand and connected them with small channels to allow for material to flow into the various cavities it would make as it melts the foam.
After he finished positioning the foam he put both boxes together again clamping them shut.  
It was now that he began the forging process, the large warrior put the small amount of rare phrik, and tydirium ingots into a crucible in preparation to create the enhanced phrik alloy. Immediately after he then placed it into a fire to melt and did the same with the small bar of Orichalc metal, and then too placed it onto the fires to melt. 
Terrogate then loaded up his data pad and moved to the more technologically orientated room of the forge. A large datadesk and monitors setup in the room but surrounding it were mechanical buffers, laser precision cutters, measuring and magnifying equipment. Terrogate turns on the datadesk and he then logs in and uploads his datapads preloaded designs to the precision cutter.  
As his designs loads the Cathar goes back to the forge fire to check on the crucibles, using a pick to rid the surface of the melting metal of slag that was comprised of the small impurities in the metal the warrior then waits until they are ready to pour.
Using a pair of crucible tongs he picked up the crucible's one at a time and took them over to the molds and poured the liquid metal into the appropriate boxes until metal just barely came out the vent holes he had drilled to signal both the molds were full.
Once done he placed the now empty crucibles aside to air cool, and left the molds to do the same.
He then takes the Corusca gemstone and brings it to the precision cutter. The cutter itself was a square see-through cabinet about a meter square. Terrogate takes the jewellery tooling kit out of the draw below it and attached the small pincer-like bars in the cabinet designed to hold small pieces secure as the lasers cut the designed shapes as designated by the datadesks programming. 
He then carefully secures the valuable gemstone into the cabinet and secures the door. Part of his felt a touch ashamed as the lasters began their designated paths cutting minuscule sections off the gemstone. Terrogate would have liked to do it all by hand but he had never made jewellery before. And with the limited material available he could ill afford any mistakes he would almost definitely make with his large fury hands. He then leaves the laser cutter to continue it's programmed task of cutting the gemstone into a shape more fitting a wedding ring.
After roughly 24 hours of waiting Terrogate came back to the molds, taking a pick and tapped them both on the exposed metal at the top of each mold testing the solidity.
Not leaving any marks on the metal he then began cracking open the molds, removing the clamps that held them together, and he then unburied the rings.
Using a bucket of water and a brush he cleaned the rings of any sand that might have been stuck to them.
Terrogate then takes the Phrik ring and moves over to the far corner of the forge where next to a sink and set up on a wooden countertop was a Electroplating tank and next to it a swoop bike battery, a set of alligator clips connected to insulated wiring, electrodes and Inside the tank was already a precise mixture of 1 part muriatic acid and 5 parts water. 
Having already cleaned the phrik ring the Warrior then goes to work delicately scrubbing the small electrum metal bars surface clean to make sure he gets an even electroplated coating. 
Once done Terrogate attaches one alligator clip to each terminal of the swoopbikes batteries positive and negative points. The battery would serve to produce the current necessary for the electroplating process. 
Terrogate then connected the alligator clip attached to the positive terminal of the battery to the bar of Electrum and sat it down. Immediately following that he connected the alligator clip attached to the negative terminal to the phrik ring. 
Terrogate then puts on his insulated gloves and now holding the cables attached to the alligator clips gently lowers the ring and the Electrum bar into the solution submerging them both, making sure to keep them separated by at least a foot inside the electroplating tank. Pleasingly almost instantly the plating process begins as small shimmers of gold begin to appear on the previously silver coloured ring.
There was no way to connect the alligator clip to the ring which was not needing to be plated so the Cathar removes the ring several times to reposition the clip and also to stir the solution before re-emerging the phrik ring once more, ensuring that he got a very even thick golden coating of the electrum now covering the ring. 
After around thirty minutes Terrogate was satisfied with the finish, the bar of electrum was all but disappeared and he now had a beautiful golden electrum plated phrik wedding band. Terrogate smiled wide, and removed the ring from the tank and then uncliped the battery, immediately then placing the ring on a towel to dry. 
The Cathar takes out from a large tooling cupboard a bag jewellery tools and both he and Mabs rings now cleaned and dried Terrogate takes both rings and the tools into the room where the latter cutter was.
Once inside he removes Mabs now perfectly cut stone from the master cutter, then puts his own ring inside and secures it. Reaching to the data desk he then uploads the second set of programming schematics and begins the process of cutting the leaf detailing on his wedding band. This part would be a very slow process due to the strength of the phrik he had needed to set the lasers to full power and on the slower path. Shaving off the most minute of metal with each pass. 
As the lasers start their intricate work Terrogate then takes the jewellery tools, Mabs golden Orichalc band and her now cut Corusca crystal and moves to the magnifying apparatus. Over the next several hours The Cathar cuts, shapes buffs and moulds the wedding band to the desired appearance of leaves. Then taking the Corusca gem he sets it in the centre of the ring and then moulds the leaves to hold it securely. 
After polishing it Terrogste holds it up to the light to see it's shine. The way the light reflected inside the Corusca gem made it seem as if it had a furnace within it. It was so very beautiful that the Apprentice had to wonder just how such a thing was even possible. It reminded him of the golden eyes of his soon to be wife as the reflection of a fire or the sun made them come alive when caught in them. 
Almost a full day later Terrogste returned to the Forge, and as expected the laser cutter had only recently finished running its program. But it was well worth the weight. Terrogate opens the plaster cutter box and inside was a flawlessly designed and cut wedding band, a mix of gold and silver leaves running along the center of the band. 
Very happy with the result he removes the ring and goes to work buffing and polishing until it shone brightly, ready for the final step. 
Terrogate then makes a secured call to the office of the divine Empress, begging her favour to grant an eternal link alchemization on both the wedding bands. The desired effect being while wearing the bands Mab & Terrogate can always sense and find each other through the Force, no matter the distance or obstruction. Similar to the “blood trail” spell in a way. 
The Cathar then leaves the two unique rings along with two labelled vials of blood, one his and one Mabs with the trusted front desk. He hoped that the Empress would get the message soon.
