Step 8: Done

Depending on how much you file off, you can make it a mens or womens ring. A womens ring has rounded edges while a mens ring is more rectangle in profile.

Several different size rings can be made; thick or thin. I made this pendant out of 3 nickels.

Would you ever make one of those pendants and sell one to me? This looks amazing, but I just don't have the time or tools to make one.

Well, I'm not open for business just yet. If I start I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks for the complement.

Oh that's to bad, because sadly I don't have the tools, and I don't believe my father does either, to make these things. I just got done looking at your teardrop pendant and fell in love with it, I love things like this. Anyways, tell me if you ever do open for business or just want to sell some.
Thanks

I love the pendent, I'm thinking of making one for my lady friend for valentines day, but I'm not quite sure i understand how to get the loops so small. If you could give a quick run-down or something that'd be awesome, and hopefully I'd be able to make one, i don't have anything too fancy, or jeweler's tools, just a file, hammer, drill and dremel.

For the benefit of ninjas everywhere I will post an instructable specifically for pendants. But in the mean time and because Valentines Day in creeping up on us, I will post a slide show on that specific pendant and explain with pictures.

I made one ring and gave it to my wife, then she let my sister see it and I made another, The sister showed it to another sister and I made another and so on.
They all loved it and it never tarnishes.

Did you make it off of this instructable? If so, how'd it go?

timdgoodpaster in reply to MrballengJan 10, 2011. 11:07 AM

I didn't make it from instructable. A man I worked with told me how to do it. The process is much like showen here.

To join rings you cut a section out of a large ring. Then you form it into an oval shaped link. The oval shap helps the rings stay stacked on each other. Use cone nose pliers.
