Rings are rarely noticed not only because of their size but because much attention are given to other accessories such as necklaces and bracelets.

When you are ready, begin with sliding one crimp onto the cord. Be careful not squash the crimp. Thread in the seed beads until the whole length of cord is covered but leave a space for the flat feature bead and for making a knot.

The excess nylon bead cord is cut as near as possible to the crimps to have a clean looking handmade ring.
