4. Now decide the size you want your ring to be, and use the ring gauge/ruler to determine the how long your wire needs to be. You will need to cut 1 piece of your twisted wire a little longer than needed, say 1/4-1/2 inch on each side, and 2 pieces of your square wire to the length indicated by the gauge.
5. File the ends of the wires, flatten with your hammer if needed, and set in your pickle.
6. Next, line your 3 metal pieces on your soldering area so you have the square wire on top, then twisted in the middle, and then your other pieces of square wire on the bottom (see illustration).
