>Are up for giving it a try?<
Hmm I was really hoping you'd have some easy way of doing it, but it sounds like a lot of what I thought of when looking at it.
Although it would not look quite the same (would not have quite the 'webbing' effect) I'd think you could make a bunch of small rings with round wire and attach them all with solder to the main piece. The main piece would be precut on the outside flush with the bezel of the stone. Then make the thing stronger and recreate a bit of the webbing effect with a small silver ball soldered in between each of the rings.
