The guild for professionals received this booklet.

In it shows new rings coming out, The new presses of the day replacing the older hand crank examples.. Some years ago I was lucky enough to interview a few period people that worked in retail sales and jewelry making.. That ALL said the rings were pressed and some were assembled from parts ,,like the glass WestWall rings and the like. I believe them.
