First I made 2 identical rings.

if you don't have access to a chuck lathe, you can buy two rings.

for the recess, you can use a dremel and a file.

now, you can stuck it together with glue.
one half is the anode, the other half is the cathode.
solder the LED from inside.
now you need a second, similar ring, with a hi-cap capacitor instead of the LED.
--> if the rings touch each other, the LED is shining
