Spinner Rings Explained
Spinner rings are captivating accessories that offer a calming fidgeting experience, also known as stress or anxiety rings. Their rhythmic spinning motion and tactile sensation provide a soothing outlet to ease anxiety and promote mindfulness.

Materials and Tools
Crafting a custom spinner ring requires an assortment of essential tools and materials that you will utilize throughout the workshop.
Jewelers’ pliers, a metal file, and a mandrel provide the necessary implements for shaping and sizing the ring, while sterling silver wire, a soldering station, and a polishing cloth ensure the creation of a durable and visually appealing final product.
Participants will learn to precisely measure, cut, and shape the wire, employing solder to fuse the seam for a sturdy and seamless spinner ring.
The final step involves meticulously polishing the piece to a mirror-like finish, transforming the raw materials into a stunning, functional accessory that can be worn with pride.
With these specialized tools and materials, the workshop empowers participants to craft their own unique spinner rings.
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, one carefully measures the desired ring size, selecting a mandrel that will allow the wire to be wrapped and formed to the perfect fit. Next, the sterling silver wire is meticulously cut to length, ensuring a seamless band. With steady hands, the wire is then wrapped around the mandrel, creating the initial ring shape.
The true artistry begins as the spinner mechanism is crafted. This involves:
- Filing and shaping the inner ring to achieve a smooth, comfortable fit.
- Precisely soldering the outer band to the inner ring, securing the spinner’s mobility.
- Carefully polishing the surfaces to a gleaming finish.
- Applying an optional oxidation treatment for a unique, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Through this immersive process, participants gain a newfound appreciation for the art of silversmithing, creating a personalized spinner ring to treasure.
