How do you make a simple ring?

The important part in making the ring is that choosing its size before we make it. Normally when a person says he need a 23 size ring we should do it 3-4 size small. If we are doing it in silver clay we should do it 2 sizes big. If it’s in the metal it should be done 3-4 size small , that would be 19-20 size. We should do the band of the ring first. Then we should do the bezel separately.
The bezel size depends on the size of the stone we fitting on it. Normally if you want to see your stone better and if it’s a single stone setting ring then 22.0 size stone would be better. This size stone brings out the beauty of the ring out. The bezel should be done according to the size of stone we using on the ring, but the stone should not be fitted to the bezel.
Then we should cut the band ring in the top middle, a single line.
Then have to put the ring on the metal ring sizer and bring it to the correct size.
Then take the ring out the ring sizer and fit the bezel to it and have to solder it good. Then let it cool in the cool water. After the fitting of the bezel we should file the ring and make it look perfect and polish it good. We can do 2-3 coat of polishing. After every coating we should put the ring in the boiling shampoo water for few minutes. After this process the ring will be polished well. Then we can start the stone fitting on it. Once the stone is fitted we can use a cloth to wipe the ring and bring out the shining.
