Step 1

Upload your image into photoshop- Find a large image of a man or woman

Step 2

Create a New Layer
On the tool bar select the elliptical marquee tools. Once that's selected, you'll see some options at the top of the canvas. In the drop down list next to Style, choose 'Fixed Aspect Ratio'. This will give us a perfectly round circle selection every time. Go ahead and drag one out now. Not too big remember we are designing a ring.

Step 3

Good. Now we need to go Select->Modify->Border. A screen pops up asking you how many pixels wide you want it to be. Put 3. Now you should have a double circle.

Step 4

Now we need to put something in it. . Press SHIFT +F5 to bring up the Fill screen, and from the drop down menu choose '50% grey'.This Should add color to you double circle.

Step 5

We don't need the selection any more, so CRTL+D to deselect. What we need to do is distort it a bit. Press CRTL+T to enter transform mode, then right-click and choose 'Distort' from the menu. Now play around moving the handlebars around the square:

Step 6

Place your ring where you want it on the image then just take the eraser tool and get rid of that bit in the middle. You can enlarge the image for better viewing.

Step 7

Select the ring layer and click on the Layer-Layer Styles-blending Option Click it now and from the list that shows down, choose 'Bevel and Emboss'. This is pops up another screen with lots of options on it. We don't need to change anything for now, though. You will also see that our ring is updated in real time, so we can see the results straight away.

Step 8

To give it more highlights and make it shinier, hit the 'Gloss Contour' box. Another screen pops up where you can alter the mapping. Just click and drag the black line until its to your liking.

Step 9

Go back to the background layer ( your image) and click the Burn tool. Now with a small soft brush, lightly go around the end of the earrings that go into the skin. This adds a little more realism... enlarge for better outcome.
