The contribution deals with restoration survey of S-shaped temple rings from the site of Vrbno (Czech Republic). On the basis of results obtained, the manufacturing process of the temple rings was determined. Most of the temple rings were made of copper with small amounts of tin, lead and zinc although some were made of almost pure copper and a few of low zinc brass. Several temple rings were tinned, silver plated or gilded.
