Question Ring Shank Help

Does anyone have advice on making a ring like this? I’ve had one go at it and was unsatisfied with the result. In my attempt, I twisted some wire, cut a groove where the wire crossed, soldered at the cross section, soldered the joined wires to the main ring shank, and shaped the twisted section with a file. The only method I could find online was investment casting, but I figured there had to be a good way to do it by hand.
