I was reading the accesory section of scoute.org yesterday and thought to myself that I would take on the quest of making the Julius/CCP bent nail ring.
I have some experience with jewelry making from highschool so I went and got a ring mandrel and gathered whatever tools I could find. I thought this would only take 5 minutes but it actually took me up to an hour.
I used a 4" nail this time but actually it was a bit too small even for my skinny fingers. So I gave it to my gf. Next time I will try with a different nail, longer, softer, and with a bigger end part more like the Julius ring.
