A heavier 'anvil' might be in order, like solid rod stock instead of a socket? Or a deep socket over the open jaws of a vise? Then roll ring until pointy end of 'egg' is up, and whack it with the mallet.
Flatware would be tough, since the part has various thickness and width, hard to bend uniformly. Keep working at it.
P.S.- the babes might be just 'pulling your hair'. Maybe they are more interested in the silver smith than the ring?
