Creating Stunning Spinner Rings with the Fretz Jig

Introduction to Spinner Rings

What are Spinner Rings

A spinner ring, also known as a worry ring, anxiety ring, or motion ring, is a type of ring that has a band that can spin around the inner ring. The spinning motion of the outer band is said to provide a calming effect, which can help relieve stress and anxiety. Spinner rings are often used as a meditation aid, as the repetitive motion of spinning the outer band can help focus the mind.

Benefits and Uses of Spinner Rings

The benefits of spinner rings are numerous. They are often used for stress relief, anxiety management, and meditation. Spinner rings can also be used as a fashion statement, as they come in a variety of designs and styles. Spinner rings are also a popular choice for wedding bands, as they are unique and symbolic of the bond between two people.

Creating Spinner Rings with Fretz Jig

Understanding the Fretz Spinner Ring Jig

The Fretz Spinner Ring Jig is a tool that is used to create spinner rings. It is made up of several components, including an outer ring, an inner ring, and a base plate. The outer ring is used to shape the spinner element of the ring, while the inner ring is used to shape the base ring. The base plate is used to hold the metal in place while it is being shaped.

Components of the Fretz Spinner Ring Maker

The Fretz Spinner Ring Maker comes with several components, including the outer and inner ring, base plate, and dapping punch. The outer and inner ring are made of high-quality stainless steel, which ensures durability and longevity. The base plate is also made of stainless steel and is designed to hold the metal securely in place while it is being shaped. The dapping punch is used to shape the metal and create the spinner element of the ring.

Assembling the Fretz Spinner Ring Tool

Assembling the Fretz Spinner Ring Tool is a simple process. First, place the base plate on a flat surface. Next, attach the inner ring to the base plate. Insert the dapping punch into the center of the inner ring. Finally, attach the outer ring to the base plate and place the metal on top of the base plate.

Step-by-Step Process of Making a Spinner Ring

Preparing the Metal

Before beginning the process of making a spinner ring, it is important to prepare the metal. The metal should be annealed, which means it should be heated to a specific temperature and then cooled slowly. This process makes the metal more malleable and easier to work with.

Dappling Punch Size for Spinner Ring

The dappling punch size for a spinner ring should be slightly smaller than the size of the inner ring. This will ensure that the spinner element fits snugly inside the base ring.

Forming the Base Ring with Spinner Ring Jig

To form the base ring with the Spinner Ring Jig, place the annealed metal on the base plate and center it over the inner ring. Using a mallet, gently tap the metal down onto the inner ring, shaping it into a ring. Continue tapping the metal until it fits snugly inside the inner ring.

Creating the Spinner Element

To create the spinner element of the ring, place the annealed metal on the base plate and center it over the dapping punch. Using the outer ring, shape the metal into a dome shape. Remove the metal from the jig and cut out the spinner element using a jeweler's saw.

Hex Ring Spinner: A Unique Design

A hex ring spinner is a unique design that features a hexagonal spinner element. To create a hex ring spinner, follow the same process as creating a regular spinner ring, but use a hexagonal dapping punch to shape the metal into a hexagonal dome shape.

Spinner Ring with Tube Setting: Adding Gemstones

A spinner ring with a tube setting allows for the addition of gemstones to the spinner element. To create a spinner ring with a tube setting, follow the same process as creating a regular spinner ring, but use a tube setting punch to create a hole in the spinner element. Insert the gemstone into the tube setting and secure it in place.

Finishing and Polishing Your Spinner Ring

Cleaning the Ring

To clean your spinner ring, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap and water. Gently scrub the ring to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse the ring with water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Polishing Techniques

Polishing your spinner ring is an important step in the process. There are several techniques that can be used to polish the ring, including using a polishing cloth, a polishing wheel, or a tumbler. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the one that works best for you.

Advanced Spinner Ring Designs

Customizing Your Spinner Ring

Customizing your spinner ring is a great way to make it unique and personal. There are several ways to customize your spinner ring, including adding engraving, using different metals, or incorporating other design elements.

Incorporating Different Metals and Textures

Incorporating different metals and textures is another way to create an advanced spinner ring design. Combining different metals, such as gold and silver, can create a unique and eye-catching design. Adding different textures, such as hammered or brushed finishes, can also add visual interest to the ring.
