Trying to go with the Flow

Michael -

I created a hearts design by sweeping two "hearts" curves using two circle profiles.

Some time ago you mentioned these type of intersecting tubes can be difficult if the diameters are equal at the intersection, so my sweep of each heart curve was made using two different diameter profiles, resulting in a slight taper.

The design Flows onto the ring with no problem, but I can't get it to Boolean Diff to create a carved recess into the ring.

I don't care if the design matches up exactly on the opposite side of the ring as this is just for rendering.

3DM is attached. Any help is appreciated as I'll be making a lot of these type designs.
