Full Channel Ring Setting

Description

Full Channel Ring Setting made of solid 940 Argentium silver, which is 1% purer than sterling silver. No need for a bezel cup or mould, this ring is designed to be filled. You can work with UV resin and cure in layers, or put the ring on a cup spinner and use epoxy resin. We have a partial channel ring setting here and channel bead settings here. We also offer this full channel ring in solid gold here.

This setting joins the Hannah Marquise ring setting and the Ayla Solitaire ring setting in our new range of settings for artists working in the keepsake and memorial jewellery industry.

These rings are available to ship straight away (when showing as in stock) and do not need to be made to order as we stock every size from UK K upwards (we can add smaller sizes on request especially for larger orders), please see our sizing info below! We can also create this ring in any metal to order, just get in touch for a quote based on current metal prices such as 9ct gold and platinum.

You can fill with resin in safe knowledge that it can’t pop out again. You can order some channel ring stock images here to show your clients some mockups before they buy (please remember the instructions for use advise you to tell your clients results will vary!).

935 Argentium Silver

The silver in these settings is 940 Argentium silver, which is 100% recycled. Please see our blog on Types of Solid Silver which explains the care instructions for the silver and the metal content. You can advertise these as 935 antitarnish silver or just 925 sterling silver – your customers may query Argentium if they haven’t come across it before but it’s a great opportunity to let them know it’s less likely to tarnish than sterling. These gorgeous silver rings are made proudly in Scotland in the United Kingdom and come out with a beautiful layer of white pure silver which is polished off by hand after the sprues are removed.

Channel Ring Size

Slim – 4mm total width, 2mm channel (width usually shows around 4.38mm but can be around 4mm). Chunky – 5.5mm total width, 3mm channel (width usually shows around 5.75mm but can be around 5.5mm).

with curved over edges to hold the resin in place. The Channel Ring is a wide band and not comfort fit, meaning it has a flat band internally. We highly recommend you find out your client’s ring size and recommend they go up one UK size (half a US size) to allow for the tight fit. You cannot resize these rings once filled with resin; they can be enlarged prior to filling, up to two UK sizes, with care by a silversmith experienced in working with Argentium silver, please get in touch for advice.

Channel Ring Finish

The Channel Ring is polished to a satin finish. We try to remove all scratches from the production process but can’t always spot everything so if you have any questions about the item you’re received please just get in touch.

Silver Polishing Cloths

Customers may wish to give their rings a quick polish before sending, you can buy a silver polishing cloth from us here. If you have an established business and would like some branded polishing cloths we use this company for our Tree of Opals cloths!
