3. Sell your ring settings at craft fairs. Many areas host craft, art and jewelry festivals where you can sell your ring settings. Most often, you will be given an area where you can set up your booth. Shoppers will then browse through the fair looking for goods.

4. List your ring settings at online auction sites such as eBay. Make sure to post photos of a particular ring setting along with details describing it. You can set a starting price, and buyers can then bid up the price from there. You'll also need to set shipping costs when you post the items.

5. Set up a website for your ring settings business. Make the website complete with photos and descriptions of the ring settings available. Enable the site with a shopping cart so buyers can make purchases easily online.

6. Sell your ring settings at local flea markets. People come to flea markets looking for a wide range of things, and jewelry is no exception. You can get steady business at such markets.
