What to expect when you make your own wedding rings
Anyone can do it - no jewelry experience needed
Basic rings can be made in about 3-5 hours
Private workshops - I only book one class per day, so the session is just for you
Many couples leave with their finished rings the same day
Cost depends on your metal choice; learn more on our pricing page
We work with 100% recycled metals from a USA-based, eco-conscious refinery
This is a hands-on DIY ring-making workshop, very different from a jewelry store - no salespeople or display cases, just you working at a jeweler's bench with tools lightly covered in gold dust
How it started
"When my partner and I got married, we knew we wanted handmade, meaningful wedding rings. Sloan suggested we make each other's rings ourselves. As a jeweler and teacher I was up for the challenge. Leading up to our wedding, there were a few times that I caught my love touching up the finish on my ring and admiring the work that went into it. Making each others rings became such a special memory in preparing for our big day. Now when I look at my ring finger I see more then a symbol of our commitment, I also see the love and effort that we put into making our rings.
After our wedding I thought about what a rare opportunity it was for us to be able to make each others rings and I wanted to offer it to other couples. I would love to invite you to my studio to make your own bands. I am looking forward to hearing from you about your story and ring ideas!"

“Working with Stephanie was an absolute joy. She is a fabulous teacher – she knew when to let us figure things out and when to step in. I entered slightly nervous and left amazed that we were able to make such beautiful rings! It is truly one of our most treasured memories from our wedding and a story we tell again and again.”
