Adapting my signet ring workflow

[lpah379]

Hey all, 

I have recently found a workflow to design a signet ring with a flat ring shank. I was able to make it with an octagonal face, but I would love to be able to adapt this exact technique to a circle, square, heart, etc... My problem is that I am not sure how to go about changing the shape of the face of the ring. I have tried to make a round signet but I wasn't able to complete the surface loft properly.

Would anyone be able to help me figure out what I need to change for the technique to work?

I have attached a .f3d file of my successful technique and my attempted round signet, also a video of the workflow.

Any help and contribution is very much appreciated!
