The rings featured in this post are the 3rd ones in the book, Creating Metal Clay Rings: Designs Inspired by Nature by Irina Meich.  For this ring,  Meich calls for a device called a ring maker to make these round, slightly rounded rings, but I am not in the market to pay over $50.00 for a device that only makes one size ring. You need accessories, it seems, to make different widths, and a whole new device to make other sizes. I made my round rings by rolling a thin snake and wrapping it around the mandrel. Where the clay meets for the seam, is slightly flattened on these rings, but it is the back of the ring. It makes sense for it to be flatter there, and it doesn’t seem to detract from the ring at all. It’s almost like a custom improvement to make it better! The rings are indeed simple; they can be worn together, on different fingers or stacked. I would make these rings again.
