Firstly decide on how you want your fashion ring to look and next go shop for all the material you will need not forgetting the shrink plastic, rubber stamp, adhesive and the knife. Next measure your ring size correctly and use a printed copy of the ring size convertor that you can get from any online jewelry retailing site. Measure the exact size on the convertor, place it on the shrink paper and cut off the excess. Next place this strip around your finger to see if the fit is right and adjust it accordingly.

Place the rubber stamps along the entire length of the shrink plastic strip that you have measured and use other decorations and embellishments that you wish to have on your fashion ring. If you want to use a marker remember it should be an alcohol based ink as any other type will have a tendency of melting. After this look for a cylindrical object like the handle of a wooden spoon, a marker or a lotion tube that is of the same size as your ring so that you can slip the shrink plastic strip over it but make sure it doesn’t melt.

Next, read through the heating instructions on the shrink paper and pre heat the oven or toaster accordingly and place the shrink paper strip with the embellished side facing upward. You will see the plastic roll up and shrink and then lay flat so wait for it to happen and then quickly remove the shrink plastic and wrap it around a cylindrical object making sure to bend the ends. The plastic will soon begin to harden so you must do this fast. Don’t forget to hold the ring in place for some time to retain the shape. Once you’re done with all this activity, take a look at the charming fashion ring you have just created all by yourself and enjoy flaunting it as much as you like.

How to design enviously opulent gemstone jewelry

Gemstone jewelry has such magical powers that it easily turns glare into glow. The intriguing designs with alluring colors are the most desirable part of gemstone jewelry. If you think you should spoil yourself a little with some customize gemstone jewelry that will not only expand your style horizon but also be a cherishing addition to your collection, then we have some great ideas to get it for you.

The world of gemstones has unlimited surprises. It’s difficult to get each of the gems that are there on the earth. But few of the famous deserves to be yours. So decide your list of liked gemstones. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies and diamonds are by default the favorites of all and surely you must be having few of these.

Another gemstone that must be considered with top priority is tanzanite. It is a bit new addition in the gem world but has quickly made a significant position in the hearts and vaults of many.

Your birthstone is also an important chunk which you should include in your stone list. If you are a February born then the royal purple amethyst is your prized birthstone. And if it’s March then aquamarine studs or pendant can easily make their way into your heart!

Now check for the metal and settings. Gold, platinum and silver are all time hits. In recent times even palladium and titanium have also made a strong fan club. But they are even costlier then platinum. We believe the most suitable are platinum if the budget is higher than high and gold if the budget is on the higher side. Prong, bezel, pave, channel and tension are few regular settings.

Once you are done with the selection and design either get a readymade jewelry that goes with your thoughts or go for customization. Although many online jewelry stores like angara.com has a rich collection and you might not need any customization. In fact chances are that you might get the exact jewelry you have pictured. But if it’s not the case ask for a customize design and explain your design to the jeweler.
