How to stamp sterling silver? What tools should i get and what kind of store may carry them tools? I'm thinking of stamping my works with 925 mark so people would be less skeptical whether it's real sterling or not. I'm new at this, so please be gentle :) Thank you!

When I've made these in the past, I used half-round wire, and sized each ring about 3 sizes up from what I wanted in the end. Make a mock-up of yours to be sure. Solder and shape them all on a mandrel into perfect circles. Then saw apart 2 rings along the seams, and open them carefully to avoid misshaping...
