Activity Details

Arrive at your designated workshop at the scheduled time. Are you ready to embark on the journey of crafting your personal ring?

Once you meet your instructor, you’ll dive right into the creation process. This immersive session will take you through traditional jewelry-making techniques as you construct a sterling silver ring from the ground up. The process begins with measuring the silver to suit the size you desire for your finger.

To enhance your experience, you can enjoy a warm tea or coffee alongside some delightful chocolate.

Using a handsaw, you will cut the silver to the proper dimensions and then shape it around a mandrel with the help of a mallet. Guided by your instructor’s expertise, you will observe the soldering process that brings your ring together.

Once the initial form is established, you will focus on refining your creation. You’ll smoothing and filing the silver with various hand files, selecting the curve and finish that resonate with your style. Though it may seem minor, this choice significantly impacts the final appearance!

Now for the exciting part: texturing your ring. You will have the option to choose from three unique finishes and will use a planishing hammer to realize your desired design.

Finally, you’ll pick a polish to achieve the perfect shine for your piece. After an engaging two-hour session, you’ll conclude the workshop and take your personalized ring home. Slán!
