Design Your Own Wedding Rings

Wedding Ring Workshops offer not only unique wedding ring sets, but afford you the opportunity to design and make rings for each other with your own hands. You choose the metal to use and the design you’d like to craft in a meeting with the jeweler taking most of a day. You may choose any cut on your diamond or other stone at 30% below what many other jewelers quote.

Other gemstones are available for the central piece or accent stones in your design. Experienced jewelers guide you to a professional finished product, guaranteed. Your friends will find it difficult to believe that you actually made top quality, uniquely designed rings with your own hands. Photographs will be provided following you through the different stages, especially the final photo when you hold the ring you have made.

Designing Your Own Engagement and Wedding Rings

Their jeweler will work with you, to guide and assist you throughout the manufacture, so you will have an excellent end product. Your rings are guaranteed to be comparable quality to any professionally made item. All the metals used in this process are recycled. 18k white gold is the most popular metal, followed by platinum, and yellow gold. Other metals are also available, including fashionable .950 palladium.

Because metals are being reused, the cost for you is decreased. If you have an heirloom ring you would like incorporated into your wedding band, it can be melted and added to the metal of the ring if it is the same you choose for the band. If it is a different type of metal it may be used as a decorative accent.

Plain bands are definitely not the only option available. These jewelers have a variety of design ideas provided from which you can choose; or if you have an original design in mind, you can e-mail an illustration to them and they will let you know if it is something they can produce in the Wedding Ring Workshop.

Stone Setting

Stone-setting is a specialty skill. You can choose any stone size or variety for your ring, and make your band, but the jewelers will mount the gems after your ring’s production. You do need to make an appointment to meet with the artisans who help you through the process.

If you need an appointment on a Saturday or Sunday, you may have to wait longer for an available time. As a couple you work on your rings under a jeweler’s personal guidance. It is not a class. Most couples are able to complete their ring preparation in a leisurely 5 or 6 hours. Your bands may be taken with you upon completion (unless you have chosen to have gemstones set on the band designs.)

Precious Metals

Constantly changing costs of precious metals and gemstones mean that you can’t get an accurate price quote until you have chosen the metal you want to use to make your ring, and the specific stones that you will include.

Changes in precious metal costs between the date you get a quote and when you actually make your rings will have no effect on your cost if you place a deposit within 3 days of your price quote.

A 20% booking payment holds your appointment date and locks in your price. The rest is due at the end of your appointment when the rings are completed. Included in the cost is the assistance required in designing your rings, a disposable camera documenting your experience, so you will have pictures to become part of your wedding album, both of your rings (up to 20 grams total weight), luncheon, and a split bottle of champagne to celebrate your newly acquired skills at the end of your experience. You will have fashioned unique rings with your own hands for one another to cherish throughout your marriage.
