This video shows how easy coin ring making is with the proper jewelers tools. I show the shaping process, which is the difficult, time consuming part of coin ring making if you don’t have expensive tools. This ring obviously needs a bit of sanding before it is complete, but other than that, she came out great. I’ve included a few links as to where to find these tools. Ebay is also another great place to search around
