Wedding rings
As well as creating my own designs for wedding rings, I also invite couples to spend a day in the studio making their own. For those that like the idea of being hands on with planning the elements of their special day it’s a great experience to create yours, or your partners wedding bands.

Sterling silver is a lovely metal to work with, ideal if you and your partner would like to create textured and personalised bands.
Often gold is a popular choice for wedding rings, particularly if there is an engagement ring to go alongside, or you prefer the longevity of a harder metal. With a gold making workshop, we make sterling silver ‘mock rings’ to start- get your feel for the processes and build some confidence in the tools, we then move onto the real thing.
The wedding ring workshop is a full day in the studio, usually 5 to 6 hours. Learning to shape, size and cut your metal. File the ends to fit and have a go at soldering together.
Time is spent filing and sanding the edges, to get a good smooth finish before I give them a machine polish for you.

Studio day
The studio day making rings is usually a Saturday and from 10am and for a duration of 4.5 to 6 hours, depending on whether you choose to make silver or gold rings. The cost is from £195 + the cost of the gold or silver (price dependant on size and weight at the time)
