Just for fun – a time-lapse video of me constructing a Standard Form Ring. The ring – also known as the “Pharaoh Ring” was originally designed by Thomas Vincent Phelan, who patented it in 1948. It came into the public domain in 1962 quickly became one of the “classic” pieces of wirework jewellery. Follow along as I build!

If you’d like to purchase the instructions for this ring, they are available here.
