Is it possible to make titanium wedding rings by myself???

Hi, I'm getting married in Dec. I am a designer & would like to make the rings by myself. This is the story: 2 years ago I suffered a terrible accident in Tokyo, where I live now. My girlfriend support me during 3 long months at hospitals & also took charge of stressing legal issues. Last year doctors removed from my leg 6 titanium screws and 1 plate. These things strenghten my leg and helped me to go back to almost normal life. They were part of me and I feel really grateful & attached to them, so I would like to preserve them transforming them into our wedding rings. Do your know where can I get info about a method for making the rings manually? I'm pursuing a PhD in design, so have access to univ. workshop & tools. In case is too difficult or takes too much time I'm also considering the options of doing the design myself & ask somebody to make it; or getting the whole package done. I will trully appreciate any suggestion for this engaged guy with limited cash. Thank you! My professional field is vehicle-design...so don't know almost anything about jewerly making. My name is Jaime, in Spanish (I'm from Mexico) is a male name.

1. What a fascinating history these rings will hold ! You mention pursuing a PhD in Design, but not if you make jewelry or not. I have no doubt you could create a beautiful design. You can always find a jeweler who will make your design come to life if you don't create jewelry yourself. My girlfriend did that with odds and ends of family gold pieces, and created her wedding bands, and they are very near and dear to her.
