For a 4-band ring, there will be 2 outside bands. For a 7- or 8-band ring, there will be 4 outside bands. Bring them together so that the 2 bands that curve in the same direction fit together. All 4 bands will make a diamond shape when they are lined up. The process is very similar for a 6-band ring. A 6-band ring will have either 2 or 4 bands that form a diamond.

For a 4-band ring, 2 bands will hang down by the knot. For an 8-band ring, all 4 inside bands will hang. For a 7-band ring, 3 will hang down. For a 6-band ring, either 2 or 4 bands will hang by the knot, depending on the number of outside bands.

For a 4-band ring, there will be 1 grooved band. For a 7- or 8-band ring, there will be 2 grooved bands. For a 6-band ring, there can be either 1 or 2 grooved bands, depending on how many inside bands there are.

The inside rings will fit perfectly one over the other. If they don’t align perfectly, try crossing them the opposite way. For an 8-band ring, one pair of bands will cross over the other pair. Treat each pair like it is a single band. For a 7-band ring, treat the smaller pair of bands as a single band, and cross the single, bigger band over the 2 smaller bands. [5] X Research source For a 6-band ring, treat any pair as a single band.

For an 8-band ring and some 6-band rings, let the 4 outside bands fall. For 4- and 7- and some 6-band rings, only 2 outer bands will fall.

You may have to loosen the X for the bands to pass through. For 4- and some 6-band rings, you will need to turn 2 bands into place. For a 7-, 8-, and 6-band rings with 4 inside bands, turn one band at a time starting with the outermost band.

There may be a mark on the inside of the ring indicating where to hold it so that it will most easily slide into place.

Hold the 2 interlocked bands loosely to be able to rotate the third band.

All of the interlocking parts should fit perfectly together. If they don’t, the first 2 bands probably weren’t aligned correctly.
