I don't know how to describe this. Take a ring, like a jump ring soldered
shut, not a finger ring. Put another ring into it at right angles - looks like an 'X' in end view, circle with a line across middle from the side. I could take two rings and a soldering iron and make one of these, but the problem would be finding a ring of correct size to fit within the other. If the same size one would need to have a slight flattening or indent on opposite sides. Can anyone figure out what I'm trying to describe? If so, anyone ever see these? Prefer plated, not silver or gold (too expensive for enough of them for my objective). I suspect I'll have to make my own.

Are you making chainmail here?

Nope. Perhaps a rosary.

I haven't got the faintest idea what you are trying to describe. This might be why you haven't had
many responses so far. Think you can draw a picture and post it so we can get a better idea of it is?? Sterling "KenK" wrote in message ... Nope. Perhaps a rosary.

soldered shut, not a finger ring. Put another ring into it at right angles - looks like an 'X' in end view, circle with a line across middle from the side. TIA Ken Sounds like you want to join two rings with the plane of each ring at 90 degrees. You want one ring to have it's outside diameter the same size as the inside diameter of the second ring. You would then put the smaller inside the larger and solder such that you get the 90 degree plane. If you end up making your own, would you create a nicer looking ring cage by having both rings the same diameter and cutting the second ring in half and soldering both halves to the first ring. Not sure how hard my suggestion would be since I have never done this type of soldering. Sounds interesting though. Well that is my take on what you said. Henry |

It sounds like you want a kind of bead "cage." Perhaps you
can find those online, and then cut them apart so you only have the two bits that are 90 degrees to each other. HTH! Susan in DC |
