I'm going to be running a 7th level Svirfneblin Wizard, and would like to have his arcane bonded item be a Ring of Diamond Spray. What would I need to do to make it, and does anyone have any better ideas for a bonded ring? I was thinking of scenarios where I would be grappled or swallowed and wanted something offensive as an enchantment. I also considered Dimension Door as a get-out-of-jail-free option. Thanks for any feedback.
I should add that the Diamon Spray could only be cast from the ring once per day at caster level 7.

Two key things to note:
- Diamond Spray appears to be a D&D3.5 era spell that was never republished in PF1, so its availability is completely up to your GM, and
- Creating any item not found on the existing magical items list would be a custom item and therefore completely up to your GM to determine if it is even possible. There are guidelines for pricing such an item, but many campaigns don't allow them at all...
Thank you. I will.
According to this: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/d/diamond-spray/
it can be found in:
Pathfinder 24: The Final Wish. Copyright 2009, Paizo Publishing, LLC;
to make a bonded object you just need to meet the crafter level requirements and should be able to cast the spells in the requirements. Ignore material composition of the bonded object.
Just take the RAW item's price and divide by 2, which is your usual cost with the crafting feat.ADVICE
rather than a ring go with a bonded object amulet, it should be an amulet of spell cunning with +3 SplLvls per day at 7th level and an amulet of spell mastery with +6 SplLvls per day at 11th level.
It can also act as an Aegis of recovery for +2250gp(=1.5*1500) then apply discount. Just review with your GM.[non-PFS]diamond spray is an OGL item, it came with the use of 3.0/3.5 open gaming license. Early on PF had a lot of OGL content in products so a 2009 product with OGL stuff makes sense.
Thank you. This is really very helpful. :)

Any custom ring that requires using the item creation rules is very much GM-dependent, so I'll offer you a couple of ideas of published rings.
1) Ring of Resistance is a good choice if you have a cloak you really want to wear other than the standard cloak of resistance.
2) Ring of Transposition can be a lot of fun. Not quite as "get out of jail free" as a real dimension door (kind of a jerk move to use it while in a [/i]black tentacles[/i]), but if a big bad melee ends up in your face you can say "Instead of you taking AoOs while I cast, how about if I put the barbarian where she can full attack you?"
3) Ring of Inner Fortitude would be very expensive, but is oh so useful.
4) Especially if this is going to be an ongoing campaign, Ring of Wizardry is extremely handy at half price.

2) & 4) are out due to CL as it's above 7.
Fully bypassable taking a +5 to the crafting DC.
Crafting and Bypassing Requirements: What crafting requirements can you bypass by adding +5 to the DC of your Spellcraft check?
As presented on page 549 of the Core Rulebook, there are no limitations other than (1) you have to have the item creation feat, and (2) you cannot create potions, spell-trigger, or spell-completion magic items without meeting their spell prerequisites. So racial requirements, specific spell requirements, math requirements (such as "caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus"), and so on, are all subject to the +5 DC rule.
I don't like it, as it makes crafting stuff too easy (and potentially allows the creation of Gems of Wishes at level 5, if you have the money and the GM permits them), but that is the RAW.

IF he were crafting, bonded object is a bit different. So you're out of bounds Diego. *tweet* play on
I’m not seeing how it is different.
A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat.
Thanks to everyone for the excellent consults. This has been extremely helpful.

You do need to meet the CL of the item creation feat, and I don't think this is bypassable with +5 DC because it is not a requirement of the item, it is a requirement to use that part of the Bonded Item feature in the first place. But as I grok do u correctly points out that is always* going to be 7 for a ring.[quote"CRB]A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat.
You can't bypass that CL because it is a prerequisite for Arcane Bond to work like Craft Ring.
Without Arcane Bond you don't have the Craft Ring feat unless you take it separately when you get CL 7.
