PERSONALISED RUSSIAN RING PENDANT NECKLACE | INTERMEDIATE
1: CHOOSE YOUR RINGS You will need to start with three rings the same
diameter and thickness. You can either make these from scratch from round wire, or use finished wedding rings to save time.

3: PERSONALISE If you want to personalise your pendant with a name,
file one side of the remaining plain halo ring flat using coarse emery paper. You want to create a flat face wide enough for you to fit a 2.5mm stamped letter. Once you have achieved this, work through the grades of emery paper to the finest grit. Then carefully stamp the name/word you want on the ring.
4: CUT & OPEN Cut through the name ring and the textured ring with
a jeweller’s saw and open using parallel pliers, with a sideways movement to preserve the curve.
5: SOLDER & PICKLE Link the name ring through the beaded ring and
solder it closed (like a chain link). I have used easy solder paste, but you could also use easy solder strip and flux. The sterling Silver beaded ring has an anti-tarnish coating so protect it during soldering with Technoflux. When pickling, make sure the beaded ring does not touch the solution.
2: PREPARE YOUR RINGS You can leave your Russian ring pendant plain or you
can add texture to each ring to create a different look. For this project I have used two 3mm Silver halo wedding rings (size M) and added texture to one ring using a hammer. For my third ring I am using a 3mm Silver beaded ring (size K as this has the same outside diameter as the size M halos). If you have decided to make your three rings out of round wire, make each ring separately, solder and shape (texture if required).
