All the materials we use in making the rings are SCS Certified Recycled Precious Metals sourced from an American refiner.

We believe strongly in utilizing existing materials that are refined to the same purity as newly-mined materials.  

All metals are nickel free and do not require plating.



Platinum is not available.

Because you will have guided one on one instruction with a professional artist, no prior experience or artistic ability is required.

The success of your ring is assured as we will be here to help you every step of the way. We break it down into small steps that make the process of making the rings easy to follow. You'll have the opportunity to practice many of the techniques prior to doing them on your real rings.

Once we have received your inquiry form, we will send a link to our calendar of available dates.

Workshops are offered in:
~ Winter/Spring Season (January-May)
~ Late Summer/Fall Season (late July-November)

We offer workshops on weekdays and weekends to offer some flexibility, however weekend dates book very quickly.

Plan for approximately 6-7 hours of total time to complete your rings. We work at your pace in a relaxed environment, so the time frame can vary from workshop to workshop.

We encourage you to get in touch via our inquiry form as early as possible, as our calendar fills up quickly, especially weekend dates.*

The Ring Fee will vary based on:

-metal choice
-finger size
-width of band
-thickness of band
-shape of ring stock
-current gold market prices

All these variables make it difficult to give a ballpark Ring Fee without a consultation.

We can provide a personal quote through your consultation that reflects the design choices you have made for your rings.

On average, the Ring Fee for a pair of rings ranges between $1500 - $2400 combined.

However, the Ring Fee can be less than, or greater than, depending on the options you choose.

If you have a budget you want to work within, we can guide you toward suitable ring options.

For example:

- 14K Yellow/Rose gold will be a significantly lower Ring Fee than the same ring style in 18K Palladium White Gold

- a wide ring for a larger finger will be a vastly different Ring Fee than a dainty thin band in a smaller ring size.

We offer one complimentary ring resize per ring within one year of your workshop.

If the ring requires additional material to size it up, you will be responsible for the additional material cost.

Any subsequent resizing will be subject to our standard resizing fees.

Your rings can also be resized by any jeweler who does sizing and repairs.

Small flush set diamonds, moissanites or sapphires can be added to your bands following your workshop.

If this is a feature you are interested in, we can discuss options with you during the consultation process.

Additional charges will apply. You will leave your ring with us to set the stones in the week following your workshop.

Due to the process and techniques we teach in the wedding band workshop, we cannot accommodate reusing your existing gold in a workshop setting.

If reusing your existing gold is your top priority, we are happy to discuss a custom piece that we would make for you if your materials are a good candidate to repurpose. You can find more information on our custom page here.

YES! Absolutely!
