Here’s everything you need to know about our Ring-Making Experiences, from what to expect to how to book your spot.
Why Make Your Own Wedding or Commitment Rings?
The rings you wear every day should reflect not only your style but the unique bond you share with your partner. When you make your own rings, you’re not just creating jewelry—you’re creating memories and a tangible symbol of your love. Here are a few reasons couples choose this unforgettable experience:
• Personalized Design: You have complete creative control. You’ll choose the metal, style, and finish of your rings. Whether you prefer a simple, classic band or something more intricate, your rings will be as unique as your love.
• Meaningful Experience: Making your own rings adds a personal, heartfelt touch to your wedding or commitment ceremony. Every time you look at your ring, you’ll be reminded of the day you created it together.
• Sustainable & Ethical: At Figs & Ginger, we prioritize sustainability and the use of ethically sourced materials. You can feel good knowing that your custom rings are created with care for both you and the environment.
• One-of-a-Kind Keepsake: Your handcrafted rings will be a lasting keepsake, imbued with memories of a truly special day spent together.
What to Expect at the Ring-Making Workshop
Our workshops are designed to give you an intimate, guided experience, where every step is tailored to ensure you leave with beautiful, handcrafted rings. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Design Consultation: We’ll start with a one-on-one consultation to help you design your rings. Choose from sterling silver, gold, and decide on the band width and texture.
2. Hands-On Instruction: You’ll be guided through each step of the metalsmithing process, from cutting and shaping the metal to soldering and polishing your rings. Our tools and equipment are all provided, and we make sure to maintain a safe and comfortable environment throughout the process.
3. Crafting the Rings: This is where the magic happens! You and your partner will work side by side to create your rings, using traditional metalsmithing techniques. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner—Rhonda Dudek's 20+ years of experience ensures that even novices will leave with a professional-quality result.
4. Finishing Touches: Once the rings are shaped and soldered, you’ll add the final touches—whether it’s a high polish for a sleek finish or a textured look for something more rustic. Every ring is unique, just like your story.
5. A Memorable Day: Our workshops aren’t just about making rings—they’re about creating an experience. Couples often find the day to be a relaxing, fun, and romantic escape from the usual hustle and bustle of wedding or party planning.
