Hi,
Woohoo…
It’s Friday! Get some jewelry beads and supplies prepared for the following weekend and make yourself a stylish and delightful jewelry pieces like rings, brooches etc.?
If you still don’t have come out an inspiration idea, why not follow me about this post to learn about making an vintage style ring with glass cabochon. You will see it’s as easy as a piece of cake.
Firstly, prepare for the materials and tools for this project. Get some vintage style ring settings and the correspondent glass cabochons. Selecting your favorite digital collage sheet and make it the same size with ring settings and glass cabochons.
All tools you need are glues and a pair of scissors. I use the E6000 Clear Adhesive Glue.
While for my experience, i highly recommend you to use Diamond Glaze, Super Glue or Sun and Moon Glaze etc for instead, as they are much easier to control and produces virtually no bubbles.
Add some glue to the center of the ring setting.
Stick tightly the digital collage sheet to the the ring setting.
Add some glue to the center of the collage sheet, then press the glass cabochon directly on the ring setting.
Press the glass cabochon still for several seconds for the purpose of squeezing the bubbles out.
Congratulations! You have made a pretty night owls rings.

Is that the largest ring setting you have? I printed out a sample and it seems smaller than in the picture..
Hi Joey,
For digital collage sheet, ring settings and glass cabochons all have specific sizes. Not all the things has the same correspondent sizes that you can use directly. sometimes, you need to cut the digital collage sheets to fit for your cabochons and settings.
So in your experience, i guess you choose the wrong collage sheets to the ring settings.
To know the sizes (inner size for ring settings) of each products is very important.
For products with the same sizes, we will show them as “Related Products” in the right side,say reference as below:

Hi, I’m trying to make rings like these but when I wait a wile, there are always bubbles under the cabochon. I’ve tried several glues and I pressed for a very long time to make shure that all the bubbles are gone, but nothing helps. They always come back. Do you know what I have to do? Do you have some tips for me?
hi,
I know your problem. Because i had that things happen at the beginning. Yes, it is easy to come out bubbles. I usually use E6000.
Firstly, make sure your digital collage sheet is fit well with the ring setting which will greatly reduce the bubbles.
As for E6000, i advise you to add a bit more glues either on digital collage sheet or ring setting.
Second,as E6000 is not too easy to dry , so try to make it dry as soon as possible. You can put it under the sun to make it dry fast.
The last tip for you is that when you press the cabochon, make sure to press it hard and stable to avoid the glass cabochon, the ring setting and the digital collage moving.
I hope it helps you.
For any questions, just feel free to discuss and share with me.
