What tools and techniques are you using to make rings now? Do use a torch to cast or solder rings? Do you do wire wrapping? Have you ever tried making a ring from a silver coin?

The basic metalworking and jewelry making techniques in Mcreight's books apply to ring making, even if you didn't find anything specific to ring making. What specific types of designs are you looking for?

I found this book very interesting and useful:

You can find used copies cheap online, and since it's in the public domain you can probably find a digital version for free that you can load onto a phone, tablet, or laptop. Here's a link to one:

Since it was originally published over 100 years ago it has really old fashioned designs, many of which are quite beautiful, and it shows how to make them.

I've also seen this book around, but don't own a copy:

Please give us more specifics so we can help you.

Thanks, and good luck!
