Making your own wedding rings is a wonderful symbol of love and offers the chance to spend a memorable day as a couple creating your wedding bands which you will wear forever, and we can add even deeper meaning to your wedding rings by using gold passed onto you from family members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis private workshop takes place in my cosy studio located within Sharpe’s Pottery Museum in Swadlincote, Derbyshire — around a 45-minute drive from the Peak District. You’ll receive friendly, step-by-step personalised guidance through the process of designing and making the wedding rings of your dreams from your existing jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been running these Wedding Ring Making Workshop experiences since 2015, and in that time I have hosted over 250 couples to make their wedding rings. No prior experience required — nearly all of the couples I have guided through this journey have never made jewellery before. You can read about some of these on my \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/louisemarydesigns.co.uk\/blogs\/wedding-ring-workshops\" title=\"Wedding Ring Workshop Stories\"\u003eblog\u003c\/a\u003e and also hear what they had to say about their experiences in my \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?sca_esv=6e5276631c46225b\u0026amp;sxsrf=ANbL-n61VyvNLtYACTknpmP3TZwlf1nntw:1775151548241\u0026amp;si=AL3DRZFIhG6pAqfNLal55wUTwygCG0fClF3UxiOmgw9Hq7nbWTfSxvAEBDsV6csPl1F7fdM4BlWEdCf2pOrD3C1iJAWeQZMQuXNfQZvsG0pEb9ZHllo23RKyo2Brfe1jv8g7REw_5JintRALjDPrDdQdtDxvLPtczA%3D%3D\u0026amp;q=Louise+Mary+Designs+Reviews\u0026amp;sa=X\u0026amp;ved=2ahUKEwjDh9Lr2s-TAxVJQUEAHeyfLXwQ0bkNegQIZRAH\u0026amp;biw=1559\u0026amp;bih=1330\u0026amp;dpr=1\" title=\"Google Reviews\"\u003eGoogle Reviews\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process usually starts with a free, no obligation consultation, either at the studio or via Zoom. If you can make it to the studio, I do recommend this, as it is helpful to see the silver\/gold you would like to melt down to check for carat, hallmarks etc. Also, for yourselves, trying on the wedding ring design samples in person proves worthwhile. After this, I’ll provide you with a quote by email and if you decide you would like to go ahead, you can then book a date for your workshop. Workshops need to be paid for around 3 weeks before the workshop date so I can order in any additional metal for your wedding rings (if required).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorkshops are available Tuesday – Saturday. Free consultations are available on evenings \u0026amp; weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the day, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the process, along with a relaxed lunch included at the onsite cafe as part of the experience. I’ll also capture a selection of natural photographs throughout the day, so you can share and treasure the memories of making your wedding rings together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMaterials available:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use your own silver or gold to make your wedding rings, therefore materials are not included in the workshop price. We can add to this with ‘new’ metal if required. The cost of this workshop is higher due to extra work (two extra hours) involved in melting and forming the metal into rings. However you will likely save on material costs so this can work out to be a less expensive option overall — especially if working in gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOther options:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can have your rings hallmarked, engraved or add gemstones, such as diamonds (including re-setting stones from your own jewellery).
