    Hi Loren. This suggestion assumes that you'll be making one of your
    amazing rings. 

    The Bench Mate vise is a wonderful tool and a highly recommended
    accessory is their inside ring holder.  Mounted to a solid and
    stable surface the Bench Mate should take your manipulations.  

    The sleeve of the ring holder is usually expanded to fit snuggly
    inside a ring while working on it.  Your approach would be to expand
    the holder to the size desired to make your ring then back out the
    screw wedge to remove the ring.  

    The sleeve surface is a bit slippery but you might cover it to get a
    bit of friction to work against.  Maybe masking tape or old-fashioned
    cloth adhesive tape. 

    My endorsement is free of any personal gain.  I have no connection
    to the company (GRS, Emporia, KS) but I wouldn't be without my Bench
    Mate. :-) 

HTH,
Pam Chott
