Make your own wedding rings

CREATE OR DESIGN SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS

Hooray! You’re getting married (or engaged!) Here’s how it works to either get your wedding rings made by me, or to make them yourselves.

  • All you need to do is book in for a free consult. Don’t be shy just flick me an email, drop me a line or pop into the workshop for a chat no obligation.

  • We will talk through your ideas, design + material options, check ring sizes and I will get back to you with a quote ASAP.

  • Together we will figure out how much time you may need depending on the method most suited to your choice of design. Then we’ll find a date that works and book your very own couples workshop.

THE WORKSHOPS

LOST WAX/CASTING: Make your own wedding rings

This process is ideal for creating more dynamic designs- rings with a strong texture, organic form or high detail. Wax carving is great to shape a ring that will fit perfectly with an engagement ring. This technique is a two part process.

DAY 1: You will carve or sculpt your rings from wax and we will then send them off to the refiner be cast in precious metal. Your ring will be back with us typically within 1-2 weeks,

DAY 2: We will guide you through the finishing of your newly cast rings. Various jewellery hand tools and polishing techniques will be used to add final touches to complete the magic! You can choose to take part in one day or both days of the sessions.

HAND FORGING: Make your own wedding rings. This is a great technique for creating simple wedding bands- from traditional and polished, to something a little on the wild side! You will work directly with your gold or metal of choice. You will use a gas flame and jewellery making hand tools and hammers to lovingly shape and craft your wedding bands. These rings can typically be made in a full ONE DAY session.

BESPOKE : Your design Ideas + technical our skills. In this option we can get a little more fancy we can co-design and find the perfect rings for you. Think matching existing engagement rings, fancy stone setting, complex additions, engraving and more!

As we all know good things take time! so please note…
