Rolling/Russian/Trinity Ring

[kuinut]

Hi everyone,

I've spent the past few days scouring the internet for ring making resources, but haven't been able to find much.  I've read quite a few books, but most are pretty basic when discussing constructing rings.  At the moment, I am trying to construct a trinity ring for my friend's birthday, but I can't find any information on the construction process. 

I've been "practicing" on some 18 gauge copper wire to see if I can figure it out by playing with the arrangement of the three rings, but so far, I've come out with a three-ringed chain. All I've been able to uncover online is that the rings will be a different size than a standard single ring measurement. 

Has anyone made them before or does anyone know of any online or print resources that may be able to help? Also, if anyone knows of any good resources that detail construction of different types of other rings, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Kuinut,
The Trinity Ring is made using 3 identically shaped bands or chains intertwined. The Trinity Ring is a Christian professing the Divine and Scriptural truth of the Holy Trinity of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Here you can get more details of the procedure of making a trinity ring.

I found this video on Youtube, it is not a Trinity ring, but it is a spiral ring, which is also beautiful, hope it helps:
