Have you wondered HOW TO MAKE A SADDLE RING? Maybe you wanted to make one, but procrastinated, because you were unsure how to make it or felt intimidated? I hope my video will show you that the process is easier than you think and will encourage you to try this type of ring! The gemstone setting I chose for this project is silly simple (you might even say that I cheated a little), but honestly, sky is the limit! You can do whatever you like, as long as you keep the structure solid, well made and finish your ring aesthetically. I also used a handy template, so the responsibility for sizing was taken off of my shoulders by lovely Kristin, who prepared these templates (linked further below).
This video was made in a partnership with @PepetoolsUSA who is our favourite tools manufacturer and supplier! Thank you Pepe for your support and for making this video possible.
