Finger Bling Ring Project Download

Description

This double link rivoli setting is tension-mounted within the rolled ends of a metal strip. This design allows you to interchange other colored rivoli settings, or to make it permanent by pinching the end rolls closed with flat-nose pliers. The metal itself is formed on an angle so that it covers a substantial area of any finger. Shaping on an angle allows the knuckle to be free to bend.
