In this Step by Step Tutorial I will demonstrate the making of a panel ring, also known as
a plate ring. This tutorial needs you to be familiar with basic goldsmithing techniques. These rings are an industry
standard in many different shapes and sizes. These days it is easy to pick up the phone and order one to size from a
supply company, but making one is a good skill to have, as this tutorial will show. They are normally open/hollow, but
can also be closed/hollow, in which case they are quite heavy. I am going to make a closed/hollow one and show how an
open one would be completed.
