About With These Rings
With These Rings is a jewelry studio that offers you the unique opportunity to make your own wedding or anniversary bands through personal instruction. Washington jeweler, Stephanie Selle, will work by your side to ensure that you create heirloom quality rings. By making each others rings they will become rich with love and memories, in a way that store bought rings never can.
The Basics
Anyone can do it!
Basic rings can be made in about 3-5 hours
I only book one class per day, so the workshop will be just for you.
Many couples leave with their rings on the day of their session
The average price range to fabricate a simple set of 14k gold rings is $1,150- $2,000
We work with 100% recycled metals sourced from an USA based, eco-conscious refinery.
The With These Rings DIY jewelry studio is very different from a jewelry store, there are no salespeople or display cases. You can expect to work in a private, casual atmosphere at a jeweler's bench with tools that are lightly covered in gold dust.
Do ever work with people to make their own jewelry other than wedding or anniversary rings?
Yes I do! You can learn more here.
How it started
"When we got married I knew that I wanted our rings to be handmade and meaningful. My partner suggested that we make each others. 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!"

After college Stephanie moved to Seattle where she started her own line of jewelry, while continuing to work for other jewelers.

In 2012 she found a way to combine her passion of teaching with her appreciation of beautifully handcrafted heirlooms and has focused on With These Rings ever since.
“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.”
