MAKING RINGS: A CONDENSED VISUAL
I thought it would be fun to show a very condensed version of how a stacking ring is made. What I’m not showing is the painstaking time and effort it takes to get a handmade ring right. Enjoy! Joanne
4 sterling stacking rings almost finished .
A bezel cup is made out of flat sheet precious metal. It fits the black cabochon perfectly.
Sterling wire gets twisted in preparation for making the ring shank.
Twisted wire rings just after being soldered closed.
From right to left, sterling wire gets formed into a twist. The ring shank is shaped into a circle after soldering.
The ring shank and bezel cup get soldered together, the stone gets set in the bezel cup. Polishing is the final process to complete these 4 stacking rings
