 Really neat Mitch. Is the horn captured by the rim or is it fit in from beneath?

I solder an 1/8" x 1/8" ring of sterling to the side under the horn and then the rim is rolled over the horn to hold it like a cabochon stone is held in jewelry work.

 Thanks Mitch, I thought the rim was rolled but wasn't sure how the bottom was held in place. Really nicely done.
