1. For rings with pairs of bands in the top X at the top center of the ring, when you hold the band marked -Greene- there is another held with it to make a pair, and a pair of bands at the very bottom.
2. The Band or Bands at the bottom is (are) brought toward you and up, like a book being closed. After it is brought up it is in front of the one marked -Greene-. The band that was brought up from the bottom is turned around. The right side comes toward you, the left side moves away from you. The band turns around like a top turning on its point. After turning it around, this band is placed against the one that is marked, covering up the -Greene-.
3. The sides, shown with color dots on the tips, slide through the openings created in what will be the top design of the ring. Each pair of sides is slid along to get their tips into the center of the ring. The flat back part of each is outside the ring.
4. The sides are now folded up, starting with the upper one on the side close to you. It is shown with the green color dot. Its tip must pass over the tips of the other three, also marked with dots. The next band to bring up is the upper one on the far side. Its tip (red dot) has two other tips to pass over. The third band to bring up with the brown dot is on the closer side, and its tip passes over the turquoise dot tip of the last piece. This going back and forth side to side places the sides in an alternating fashion.
You may customize each ring with your choice of colors and mixes of 14K and silver. You have a choice of stones and settings.
