walnut rings?

[walnut story sketches]
I envision these pieces in silver soldered to a flat sheet with etchings of the story on the back. maybe 2 pieces fit together like a real walnut? the problem with that is that it will be really thick.

Based on the walnut story, one particular walnut was a spinning champion.. Since i'm making pieces that are inspired by the story i was thinking about spinning walnut rings. People often spin their rings when they are stressed or bored. It's one of those weird habits like biting your nails or clicking your pen. Not sure how this is going so far but i'd like to send them out to a caster to get an estimate.
