You may get some ideas here. Chris Wilkes is a master flute maker:

Re: Engineered/milled rings pictures
If you’re already working with a flute maker, an easy way to add interesting rings would be going with pattern wire. Jon of Cochran flutes did this on some of his flutes. https://www.riogrande.com/product/metal ... pe=Pattern
Most ivory will be a problem because there is a ban on its use. Flute makers are using faux ivory for rings and caps.
Casey Burns also has a Guilloché machine. I’m not sure if he’s using it for rings or end caps though. I was fortunate at the time I ordered my flute from Casey, that he allowed me to make my own rings. (I was a goldsmith) https://photos.app.goo.gl/PhcZ97wQDesJaJi77
