Create your own piece of silver jewellery with your own hands, guided by a professional jeweller. No experience needed.
Simple classic rings, flat rings or lightly textured ones, as well as a pendant or earrings. You work in metal from the start.
Two days, and far more freedom in the modelling and form of the piece. In the first session you carve the model in wax; in the second you finish the cast piece in metal.
On the first day you carve the wax for a piece with a stone. On the second you work the silver casting and set the stone yourself, guided closely by the teacher.
Your own ring or pendant with a natural cabochon-cut stone, in a single session. You learn to make the setting, and get to grips with the basics of soldering, filing, sanding and stone-setting.
Group size is still being settled — write to us and we will tell you.
Working in metal, you are limited by the shape of the stock — a sheet or a bar. Wax lets you create almost any form before it is cast in silver: three-dimensional shapes, complex relief, organic lines, textures and other details that working in metal alone cannot give you.
| What to know beforehand | Working with Metal | Wax and Metal |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 4–5 hours, one day | Two days, 3–4 hours each |
| How it works | You work in silver from the start: you make the ingot, form the piece, solder, sand and polish it to a finished result. | You model the piece in wax, we cast it in silver, and in the second session you finish the piece yourself. |
| Gap between sessions | None — it is all one session. | At least 2 working days, while the piece is being cast. |
| What you can make | Best suited to pared-back pieces: rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants with simple forms. | Allows almost any piece: rings, earrings, pendants, lockets, brooches and other work with complex form, volume and texture. |
| Who it suits | If you want to learn metalwork from scratch, or make something simple and clean in a single session. | If you have a complex form, volume or texture in mind — and can come twice. |
In our studio, you can create your own wedding rings — from the first idea to the finished pair.
You choose the workshop; the person you give it to chooses the day, comes in and makes something themselves.
