Rings are different: gold and silver, expensive and not so much. But what could be more romantic than a handmade ring? And I am not suggesting that you take a wire or a piece of wire as a material. No, this is too commonplace. A coin ring is much more interesting! This short instruction will tell you and clearly show how to make a ring from almost any coin.

1. Take any coin you like. It is best to take something like a 2-ruble coin.

2. First, you need to make a hole in the coin, which will run strictly in the center. Take a small board and drill a hole in it.

3. Place a coin on top of the hole in the board and drill through it. Make sure the hole in the coin is centered.

4. Heat the ring, this will make it easier to work with.

5. The coin should look something like this.

6. We put the ring blank on some metal rod, take a hammer and start hitting the coin.

7. This is the most difficult and tedious part of the job. It may be necessary to spoil a few rings to perfect the technique.

8. After a while, you should get something like this.

9. Continue heating the workpiece and hitting it with a hammer until you get a solid and strong ring. In the photo, the top edge of the ring is already almost polished.
