Wedding/Engagement Ring Workshop
There is nothing more sentimental than going through the process of creating rings for a lifetime. You undergo new obstacles, encounter fire, and make something strong and beautiful that represents the bond between you and your partner.
Even if you have no experience working with metal, we will help you design and create the ideal ring in a curated workshop just for you. We can work with silver, gold, stone setting, and adding texture. Let us know your style and we’ll get you there!
Starting packages for couples ring making is $500
This price includes 2 people, silver, and 3+ hours of studio use.
Fabrication Method: This involves taking heavy gauge silver wire that is either flat or half round, forming it around a mandrel to create the ring shape, and soldering it. Finishing involves filing, sanding, and polishing to get to the desired finish. Some extra details could include adding a crown setting for a stone or hammered texture finishes.
Casting Method: Is a 2-day method involving the lost wax process where you will carve your ring out of wax and cast in the desired material.
