About this product

Celluloid Strips for Ring Cores - Ring Sleeves - Ring Blanks - Ring Making

These 3-inch × 10mm celluloid strips give you enough material to form a core or sleeve for most rings up to approximately size 14 without buying and cutting a full sheet.

The supplied width allows roughly half a ring size of up-sizing, so account for that when establishing your starting size. Larger cuts are available by request.

About Celluloid

Pearl and pattern sheet, the guitar-maker's material.

  • Pearl and marble patterns
  • Thin sheets and strips
  • Bonds with CA

Working tips: Use CA and activator. White celluloid can yellow slightly with age; it is a feature of the material.

Celluloid is the material of guitar picks and pickguards. It comes in pearl, tortoise and marbled patterns and bonds well with CA.

Recommended use

Form the strip into the core/sleeve your build requires, trim the seam and width to fit, and establish the final core size before building the rest of the ring around it.

What's in the box

  • One celluloid strip in the selected style. Core-making instructions are available on request.
