Hand-made jewelry is very popular. Handmade rings help emphasize individuality and give the image the necessary zest. And for the manufacture of such accessories, special fittings are used. And, perhaps, the main role here is played by the base for the ring. What are they, how to choose the best? This will be discussed.
Ring Basics: Variety of Species
Most often, such accessories are made of ordinary metal or jewelry alloys. The base for the ring can be of almost any color - imitating noble gold, antique silver, copper or brass … Often there are bases painted in different colors: pink, yellow, blue.
The most common type is a flat platform on a circle. Most often, the bases consist of open rings that allow you to adjust the size of the ring. It is very convenient.
No less popular is another type - the basis for the ring, consisting of small grooves-rings. They can be attached with pendants and beads to create chic accessories that jingle like little bells.
How to choose the basis for the ring
Choicedepends primarily on the design idea. But when buying, you should pay attention not only to how the basis for the ring looks. No less important is how and from what it is made. The quality of the metal matters a lot. In addition, the execution itself is also important. Who wants to scratch their fingers on sharp edges or put puffs on clothes? The base for the ring must be carefully sanded.
If the metal is painted with paint, you should pay attention to this. It should not flake off and rub off. If there are air bubbles on the new base, this indicates that the red is not of very high quality. It is better to refrain from such a purchase.
Variety of techniques
What to do next when the basis for the ring has already been bought? And then you can turn on your imagination and start creating. You can decorate a ring with almost any material: clay, plastic, herbs and flowers filled with epoxy resin. Felted jewelry is very popular. The ever-fashionable beads do not lose their relevance.
Wooden buttons, especially hand-painted ones, can be an excellent solution. Painting from any nondescript piece of wood can make a piece of art. Knitted elements look very nice in rings.
Handmade rings, especially those created in a single copy, can be a real find for any fashionista.
