Description
Twisted Band Ring Setting made of solid Argentium silver, which is 1% purer than sterling silver. Does not include ashes as shown in the pictures. These rings take up to two weeks to produce and send unless otherwise stated. They are custom made for you to order and as such are not eligible for return/change of mind.
Perfect for use with our 8mm round cabochon moulds and our other cabochon and faceted stones here. You can order some 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!).
We recommend you buy a compatible necklace setting, for example a small necklace setting (for example) to accompany this ring and once you’ve made the cabochon stones you can offer to set the other one as a necklace for a small extra charge (£25 or so). Around half of your customers will take you up on this (just be sure to tell them you’ll still return the extra stone even if they don’t pay!)

Twisted Wire Ring Setting Sizes
These twisted wire rings are available in UK half sizes and US quarter sizes, please let us know in the comments and choose the size below. For example, if you would like a UK size P1/2 ring, please choose UK P and say in the comments “size P1/2”.
Please note, we highly recommend that you advise your customer to consider taking away half a UK ring size to their best fit on these comfort fit bands. For example, if they are a UK size L on a normal ring sizer, the might advise them to go for a size K½. We will make whatever size you request but four years’ experience making these bands shows us that extra size is needed because of the extra width.
Comfort Fit for Arthritis/Swollen Joints
Comfort fit bands like this ring are ideal for clients with arthritis and swollen joints etc. If you’d like us to press the ring into a slight oval shape for clients with arthritis/swollen knuckles please let us know in the comments. We recommend sizing the client’s finger and not the joint, the oval shape will help them get the ring on and because it can then be more true-to-size, it’s less likely to slip.
Twisted Ring Setting Stock Images
You can order some 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!).
Solid Silver and Bezel Cups
The silver in these settings is 925 sterling or 935 or 940 anti-tarnish silver, which is 100% recycled. We use sterling silver solder paste. 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 925 sterling silver which is the minimum fineness of the band and bezel cup.
Please remember, the larger the bezel cup, the less secure the solder join and more prone to being knocked off! I would recommend a maximum of 10x10mm around but prefer to stick to 8mm where possible. I am more than happy to make any ring style and have oval, teardrop, round and heart bezels in all popular sizes such as 16x12mm, but I am not able to replace them if the client knocks off the bezel cup or the solder comes loose. Crown point settings are very prone to knocking and will need to be well looked-after by customers too.
We are happy to do any of the settings the other orientation, for example I always make oval settings landscape (sideways) because it’s a little more secure, less prone to being knocked off due to a smaller surface area overlapping the band. If you’d like the oval settings in portrait (regular) please let me know in the comments. Always happy to do heart and teardrops landscape too for a special and unique look.
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!
*Most kits will come with a compatible mould, but for settings that aren’t suitable for use with a mould (direct pour or fillable only) we will instead send a practice bezel setting which is stainless steel. You can fill this with the client’s ash/milk etc to send them a proof photo before filling the setting. This way you can check they’re happy with the colours.

This kit was bought as my very first ashes project to make a ring with my dad’s ashes in. With help from Nikki’s video tutorial it was so successful that I have now added Keepsake Jewellery to my Jewellery shop. Thank you so much x

Beautiful ring.
Needed a size X which is very hard to find from most ring suppliers but as Nikki makes any size to order it just made my life so much easier. And another client I was able to sell too.
Very well made. Lovely twist and just the right size bezel to add ashes hair or breastmilk. (ashes went in this one)
Looks lovely now I’ve finished it.
Customer was mega happy.
I am too.
Will certainly be ordering more.
5* from me. Thank you.

I couldn’t be happier. The ring is gorgeous and well made. Customer service was excellent and shipping was faster than I expected even though I’m in Oregon in the US.
I have never set a stone before, but the bezel rolled beautifully, and it turned out just perfect. I created a ring with my daughter’s ashes and it means the world that I found the perfect ring and it all went so smoothly.
