It may surprise you to learn how simple and inexpensive it is to make your own set of sterling silver stackable rings. Here are 6 Steps on Silver Stacking Rings.

How to do Silver Stacking Rings

Follow this tutorial to make beautiful stacking rings using berry gallery strip or beaded wire.

Before you start

To start your silver stacking rings project, trim the leading edge of your chosen strip or wire to your chosen length to create the start of the design.

Step 1: Cut the strip or wire

Cut the strip or wire to the length you want (you can bend it around the triblet to the correct ring size first then mark it off) to create your silver stack ring. Saw the strip or wire at a clean junction, making sure you saw at a point that, when the ring is soldered, will form a continuous design.

TIP: If necessary, err on the side of it being a little shorter than you want, as the finished silver stack ring can be easily stretched using a hide mallet and triblet.

Step 2: File the edges

Use a needle file to flatten the edges that are to be soldered.

Step 3: Bring the Ends Together

Use ring bending pliers to bend the strip or wire into a ring shape, pushing the edges together neatly. Hold the stacking silver ring up to the light to check that the joint is snug.

Step 4: Solder and Pickle

Syringe a tiny amount of solder paste onto the join, and solder it closed. Quench and pickle the sterling silver stackable rings.

Step 5: Form the Ring

Tap the silver stackable ring into shape using your rawhide mallet and triblet.

Step 6: Clean and Polish

Check the silver stack ring to see if the solder join needs any cleaning up – if so, you can do this with needle files or emery paper. Finally, polish the silver stacking ring using your preferred method.
