The Details
The UnMinted “Heart in a Box” Coin Ring Heart Maker is a custom designed jig for turning your coin rings into coin ring hearts.
Start by making your coin ring in a US size 9 (8.75 to 9.25 range) with a band width of up to 1/4″ (US Quarters work great with a 1/2″ center punch).
Anneal your finished coin ring to make it workable, and drop it onto the two steel dowel pins of the heart jig base and raise the jig upright towards you so that your coin ring rests on the pins. Using the horizontal line towards the bottom of the base as a guide, position the heart jig top panel into the base, aligning the bottom heart creaser into the center of the coin ring and the top heart creaser above the coin ring so that the top panel nests fully flush into the heart jig base. Please Note: If the top panel doesn’t fit comfortably into the base, you’ll need to adjust your coin ring size to make sure it’s between a US size 8.75 to 9.25.
Once the top panel of the heart jig is in place and flush to the base, hold the two pieces of the jig on the front and back to keep the two pieces together, and rest the jig on the steel plate of your arbor press.
Using the arbor press, continue holding the two pieces together (being careful not to pinch your fingers), and press the top panel of the jig down until the top panel sits evenly with the top edge of the base.
That’s it! Open the heart jig to reveal your coin ring heart, ready for mounting as a pendant or keychain.
