The Wedding Ring Day

How your day works

  1. 10.30am

    Arrive and design

    Settle in with a coffee and talk through widths, profiles, metals and finishes with your jeweller. We’ll check both your sizes.

  2. Morning

    Measure, shape and solder

    Cut your metal to length, bend it round and solder the join, with each technique demonstrated before you try it.

  3. Lunchtime

    Lunch on us

    Take a break with a luxury lunch and refreshments before the finishing work.

  4. Afternoon

    File, refine and polish

    Shape, texture and polish your rings until they shine, and choose a message to engrave inside.

  5. Around 4pm

    Try them on and celebrate

    Slip on the rings you made for each other and take home a bottle of fizz to toast your achievement.

  6. 4 to 6 weeks later

    Hallmarked and boxed

    Your rings are sent securely to be officially hallmarked, then presented in formal ring boxes, ready for the big day.

What couples make

Good to know

Your questions, answered

We’ve never made jewellery. Does that matter?

Not at all. Most couples who make their rings with us have never done anything like it before. Your jeweller demonstrates every step and helps as much or as little as you like.

How long does it take?

The Wedding Ring Day runs from 10.30am to around 4pm. Make a Ring Together is a half day, from 10.30am to 1pm. If you’re travelling, Worthing is by the sea and a short drive from Brighton, so many couples make a weekend of it. Plan your visit.

Can I make my partner’s ring as a surprise?

Absolutely. Quite a few people come on their own to surprise their partner. All we need is their ring size and, ideally, an idea of the style they’d like.

What can we make?

Simple designs work best on the day. We can also add details such as bespoke engraving, flush-set gemstones and shaping to fit around an engagement ring. We’ll talk it all through with you before your workshop.

When will our rings be ready?

Wedding rings are sent securely to be officially hallmarked. Depending on the design they’re ready within 4 to 6 weeks, presented in formal ring boxes to keep them safe until the day.

How do we book?

Send us a few dates that suit you and we’ll confirm availability. A deposit secures your day, and we’ll exclusively reserve the studio for you. Ring designs and the balance for the metal and studio are confirmed no later than two weeks before your workshop.

Is lunch included?

On the Wedding Ring Day, yes: lunch and refreshments are provided throughout, and you take home a bottle of fizz. Lunch and fizz are not included with Make a Ring Together.

Can we take photos?

Of course, and we’re happy to take souvenir photos of you both at work on your rings. Plenty of couples include them in their wedding album.
