HOW TO MAKE A RING - tutorial step by step.

How to make a ring - tutorial step by step! Let's make a unisex silver ring. Today I will show you how to make this simple, wide band ring from start to finish. I'm using sterling silver, but you can use other metals too, like copper or brass. You will need to check the proper solder and soldering required for these specific metals! Other steps are quite basic and the principles of making stay the same regardless the metal :)
Today we will cover how to get the proper size (make sure you check the link below to the Rio Grande website with the ring size calculator!), how to solder and shape the ring, how to clean the metal, sand, pre-polish and polish! I will be doing satin finish on this ring. I hope you enjoy watching and learn how to make a ring at home.
