Finger ring with coral bead

Here we show you how to make a fine silver finger ring with pink coral bead. The finger ring can be afjusted in size, as to fit most people.

You will need the following:
side-cutter pliers
4-piece bead reamer set
finger ring, sterling silver
half-drilled coral bead, 8 mm
adhesive

The hole of the bead is a tad too small for the pin of the ring, so we recommend that you trim the hole a little with the reamer set, as shown above.

When the bead can be placed on the pin, you will discover that the pin probably is a bit too long. You will have to shorten it a bit with a side-cutter plier.

Finally, apply a little adhesive on the pin and gently place the bead on it, dispersing the glue evenly throughout. Let the adhesive dry for about 5 minutes and you are done.

Enjoy your new jewellery.
