Yes, making power objects is never trivial. But that does not cancel out what I was expressing above.

There is no way to know - unless it is written or whatever - how the ring was made and such. I am not a seamstress but can make myself something from linen or whatever if I needed to, I am not a jeweler, but I can put a stone into a wire and hang a hook on it to have an earring, I am not a mason but I can make my own rune stones. etc. And sometimes one actually find objects out there that one has not made. It doesnt mean they are less powerful. Not to mention one can dream objects into being, or be shown which object is the one (ideal representation and then one doesn't need to create it on one's own).
I also know people who had a normal occupation - e.g. a lawyer - who went and started blacksmithing and whatnot. I am sure a king would be able to make his own ring - given he should have enough money and places where to learn and practice and do it and even people who could teach him. Much easier for Solomon to make a ring than for me - and I kid you not - I'd manage to do it if I put my mind to it.
(ofc here I just talk of making a ring or another power object, like I said above the awareness is the first step, the object is what follows later)
I'm sorry, but why would a king make his own rings? The government has to create jobs somehow, doesn't it?
Solomonic magic is probably not for you.
