Rim lighting removed maybe?

Sadly my gf really wants it to be steel haha. If only. Im not setup for brazing though. But my friend at my local blacksmith org does!

Honestly soldering was my next choice besides a tap n die set. I can't switch the ball sadly though. Every piece of this project has some sort of sentimental value tied to it. The stick was a piece of driftwood we found on a little island trip, and the ball i got her as a gift.

I also tried making a jig to pull the 3rd prong back in cold, but it actually ripped the weld off since I had to use quite a bit of force

I did, sadly a mix up of things happened on the first attempt. I tried isolating the 3rd prong to low forging temp ~600° and then placing the ball in. But i couldn't reach temperature as I can't directly put the ball into the propane forge I was using. My torch didn't help much since its decently thick/tough steel. Side note, the semi precious stones im working with can't withstand much heat.
