Create seamless rings in a breeze! Watch Clément show how to use the Ring Maker! Video is within the photos on this product page. If you find yourself frustrated by joining a ring, or finding the seam still visible or incomplete after firing, this tool is for you! Seamless rings are much stronger than joint rings, allowing you to hammer, stretch and texture without fear of fragility. 

Note: The video shows The Ring Maker with Aureus™ Bright Bronze Clay, but any metal clay can be used with this product.

Each shape set consists of 14 tools mounted in their own beautiful case with designated slots for each ring size. They're not only practical for keeping your tools safe and organized, but they also look great in contrasting black and gold. The entire set is plastic making them super light weight and easy to handle.

The inner core is interchangeable which means you can adjust the thickness of the band. Remove the core using the little tab to screw them in and out. Using a smaller core in a larger cutter will give you a thicker ring.

The Ring Maker set comes with 14 cutters in a range of sizes. Each cutter has three parts:

• CORE - The inner part, or Core, is what gives the ring its size (inner diameter or ring size). The core is removable - you can move a smaller core to a larger external cutter to get a thicker ring band!
• CUTTER - The external part, or Cutter, is the one that cuts the shape of the ring, and also what gives the thickness of your ring band. You can choose how thick and how wide you make your band.
• PUSHER - The moving part in the Cutter is called the Pusher, this will push the ring out of the Ring Maker after drying.

Oil your cutter and all its internal parts well. Roll or press out your metal clay to a level shape, roughly to the thickness you want your ring band to be wide. Cut your ring out. Leave to dry until roughly leather hard (not fully dry) and pop your ring out using the Pusher. Dry completely, refine and decorate as you wish. The Ring Maker is temperature resistant to 116°F (47°C) so take care if using heated drying tools like dehydrators or hotplates. A higher temperature may distort and damage the tool.

Inside the case, under each Ring Maker, you have the conversion of the ring size in; US, UK, French, Japanese and millimeter sizing.

Available in shapes:

• Octagon
• Round
• Signet
• Square
• Stone
• Triangle

Each shape set includes 14 Ring Maker tools - US ring sizes 6 - 13 and the half sizes. Note - the shapes are made to the correct size before shrinkage so you will need to take the shrinkage of the clay you work into account and go up however many sizes you need.
