    Sometimes a combination of techniques can work. By fabricating (or
    casting) a piece of sizing stock identical in appearance and that
    fits the rhythm and repetition of the woven pattern, you may be able
    to get the ring closer to the required size, but still too small.
    Then you can stretch it the rest of the way on multi splined
    stretcher. Be sure to evenly anneal and to get the seams nice, neat
    and sound. 

Hope this helps, Andy
