All you need are wires – you can get wires in gold, silver, whatever metal you want. You could get them in one thickness or in different thicknesses. You also need pliers and cutters – not fancy ones but they should be able to cut through and bend the wire. Then make a loop to fit your finger with a double strand of wire and keep wrapping around the loop till it’s all done. There – you have your ring!

What’s best is the fact that you know you have unique rings because you made them yourself!
