Really want to use this paint I have on a ring- any suggestions how?

I was given some paint that's in a very sentimental colour. It didn't come with much info but from what I found online, it's a vinyl-based matte paint, primarily intended for walls. It comes with an undercoat.

Ideally I really want a ring covered entirely in the paint but I know it wouldn't adhere well. So I was thinking it could go on a feature/stone on the ring and was thinking the best thing it would adhere to would be clay. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could go about that, or any better suggestions, I would be very appreciative.

It's precious stuff so don't want to open it and then have it fail, and the paint deteriorates.

Collet size for stone

I am designing a new ring which will have a silicone mold and then casted for production in sterling silver. My stones will be emerald cut octagon and roughly 8x6mm (0.10 bigger or smaller as not all stones will be the exact size). What size should the collet stone seat be on the CAD design? 8.25 x 6.25mm so the stone easily sits in? Is that too big or?...

Thanks in advance.

How to make the wires stay?

I'm trying to make wire-wrapped rings, but the wire keeps going uneven on my mandrel. It's not the bead, as it keeps going uneven without the bead, too, although it certainly doesn't help when the wires keep doing a slip-n-slide round it. I don't know how to keep it even or make it stay, but it's fraying my nerves. This is the design I'm trying to make if it helps.

Equipment advice

Hello, I have a ring engraver and was wondering if anybody could point me into the right direction to get my hands on some of these brass plates (shown in picture). I have the one that came with the machine, but can you get different ones for different text sizes/fonts? And if so, are they universal, or do they have to be specific to your machine? Many thanks in advance for any help!

Quickest turn around for london hallmarking

I recently had a few commissions that needed hallmarking and I had it don via the London Assay Office Goldsmith hall. Turnaround was very long (12 days in total) and also not cheap. Any suggestions on my efficient and cost effective methods for London? Thanks.

Wire-Wrapped Jewellery

Just some wire wrapped jewellery I made tonight. It's my first time using gold wire so I'm just appreciation how the red and black contrast nicely against it.
