Claims1
A method of forming an adjustable shank finger ring comprising the steps of die cutting an integral elongated shank portion and barrel portion from a single piece of metallic material, wherein the shank portion has a longitudinal dimension substantially greater than that of said barrel portion and the barrel portion has a lateral dimension substantially greater than that of said shank portion, forming a central longitudinally extending rib in said shank portion that extends along one side of said shank portion substantially the length thereof, rolling over the lateral edges of said barrel portion to define a tube, wherein said lateral edges abut along a line that overlies the side of said barrel portion corresponding to said one side and that is substantially coincident with an extension of the longitudinal axis of said shank portion, forming said shank portion in a circular configuration with said one side facing outwardly thereof and inserting the end thereof that is located opposite to the tubular barrel portion internally thereof, and securing an ornamental member on said barrel portion in overlying relation with respect to the junction of the abutting lateral edges thereof.
