Spend a wonderful fun and romantic day making wedding rings for each other in our boutique studio, with a homemade lunch and prosecco to celebrate
This is a perfect solution for beautiful and special wedding rings you really will treasure for ever. Imagine saying your vows and giving your partner a ring you made with your own hands - it;'s truly the most magical thing. I am an award winning goldsmith and artisan jeweller and I have been teaching people to make their wedding rings for over 15 years, well before it became all the vogue! You can be sure that your rings will be lovely, it's terrible for business for you to make rubbish ones! I will work with you every step of the way to help you create your perfect wedding rings. We make sure your rings are exactly what you want and show you all the techniques and goldsmithing tips you need. Our calm and easy tuition will make your day something you remember forever.
Some people have a clear plan of what they want and some people like ton have a play on the day to look at different textures and techniques. Your ring can be made to fit around your engragment ring, and can be any size or shape - because I make all my own gold alloys on site I dont just buy in the metal ready for you to use like most of the wedding ring workshops, we have a whole stock of what you need, and if I don't have it I can make it up on the spot.
Our studio is situated in the middle of dartmouth, a beautiful costal town
Our brand new studio is set in a beautiful coastal town called Dartmouth, surrounded by lots of wonderful shops and restaurants. We run our experience days on Fridays to allow you to make a weekend of it. Giving you plenty of time to relax and explore.
The experience day comes with a homemade lunch at our local café called Smith Street Deli with all dietary requirements on us.
Upon ordering we provide a little booklet with recommendations for local hotels, B&B's and restaurants.
Your day includes 9ct grey gold ( equivalent to white gold), there is the option to upgrade to 14ct & 18ct grey, yellow or peach gold. If you want rings in platinum or palladium then we can cast the ones and I charge and extra £75 for this service.
I make green gold, peach gold, grey gold and all sorts of beautiful things! Once you have booked your day, if you would like some examples of previous days, message us on here or we can talk on the phone and email before you come.
At the end of the day you get a glass of prosecco each to celebrate your achievements.
There are a two options if you would like your rings to be gold. You can make your rings directly in Gold on the day or you can come make your rings in silver and at the end of the day we can send them off for casting into whatever alloy you would like. We don't offer making in 9ct gold unless its white gold or platinum as it can be quite hard for beginners to work with.
It really is the best day and you will remember it for ever. It's my favourite thing to do and somerthing really special, I feel really proud to be able to offer this to people.
