Make your own wedding rings in Cornwall
Make your own wedding rings in the romantic county of Cornwall. Come to my studio together and make a lasting token of your commitment.
This is the perfect gift for a couple preparing for their special day. How romantic to receive this from your future bride or groom as a gift! You could also buy this experience for yourself, a friend or relative. Inside ring engraving is included in the price but may not be possible if your design is unusual.
At my studio in West Cornwall you will receive 3-4 hours of my expert tuition and supervision in making your own silver or gold wedding or affirmation rings.
THE PRICE IS FOR 2 PEOPLE and includes biscuits and refreshments. Gold and silver prices are listed below. This is subject to fluctuation. If you decide you would like to make silver rings but would like them to be gold plated to match an existing engagement ring, this can be done in the studio at an extra charge.
LOCATION: The location is Cornwall and the nearest railway station is Camborne, which is 5 minutes walking distance away. Ample parking is available on the road outside the studio or in the driveway.
DURATION: 3-4 hours. The day starts at 10am and ends when you are happy with your finished rings.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This experience is for two rings personalised with your own special message, if required. There is an additional supplement to cover the cost of metal and you can make silver, 9ct or 18ct gold, Alternative widths or shapes of rings available on request in advance of the day. If you would like your gold rings hallmarked, there is an additional charge of £60 for this.
Please see approximate metal prices below and allow at least 10 days for me to purchase the metals. Once we have agreed on your metal requirements, I will send you an invoice.
You may bring your own gold to be recycled, for which there is an extra charge. I would need to know the carat of gold, weight and the nature of your gold – ie whether it is hallmarked, rings, chains etc. Some pieces are not suitable for recycling – light chains, earrings etc. as these often have too much solder in them which makes the gold liable to crack when it is processed. I’m happy to try and work with it but you need to be aware that it may not be suitable. It may be best to check with me first.
If your engagement ring is an unusual shape and you would like your wedding ring to fit around it, please send me a photo of your ring first to be sure it is possible. We may have to make the ring in wax and then have it cast into your required metal. There may be an additional charge for a shaped ring which we can discuss when you make your booking. Please note that it is not always possible to engrave a shaped ring.
If you would like platinum rings, we will usually make the rings in silver (or wax, if an unusual shape) and send it to a casting company who will make a rubber mould from your silver ring and then cast it in platinum. This will mean a delay of up to a month in you receiving the finished ring and will incur an additional casting charge. Please enquire about the cost of this. It’s not possible to give an exact price as it depends on the weight of your ring.
You will need to book your experience in advance and these usually take place at weekends, though other days may be available. You and your partner will have exclusive use of the studio on the day. Please wear comfortable clothing with no hanging scarves etc. for safety reasons. Long hair should be tied back and you will need to wear closed in shoes to prevent any accidental burns to the feet. All tools and equipment are provided.This experience is unsuitable for those under the age of 16.
You are welcome to bring a packed lunch, although we are often finished by 2.00pm
If you need to cancel your booking, I require 14 days notice for a full refund. After 14 days, I can offer a partial refund of 50%.

My Fiancé and I worked with Carole this morning to make our wedding rings, which have turned out to be so much more than we were expecting! The whole experience was lovely, both working with Carole and working with my Fiancé to create our rings.
Carole welcomed us and put us both at ease. The process was interesting, and learning as we went along was good fun. Carole was a patient teacher, and listened to the tweaks that we wanted to make to our rings. It seems a shame that we will have to wait another 6 months until the big day to wear them!

Thanks for your lovely review. I had a great time with you both and very best wishes for a wonderful wedding

We made our wedding rings with Carol last week and it was such a pleasure! She was professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. She was happy to go that little bit extra to make sure I got the ring that I wanted, as I chose a difficult shape for a small ring to fit it around my engagement ring, but nothing was too much for her! It was also fairly priced.
A perfect day and I absolutely love our rings, cannot recommended this experience enough.

We have just come home, after spending a day with Carole to make our own wedding rings. Neither of us knew what to expect from the day, however, it was truly an amazing experience for both of us! Carole was very welcoming and made us feel at ease straight away. She demonstrated how the rings were going to be made and then it was our turn! Carole was by our side every step of the way and if she needed to help us she did this very subtlety. 100% I would recommend making you very own wedding rings as they mean so much more than choosing one from a High Street store. So much love is put into making them and I will treasure this experience for a very long time. The next time we will be wearing our rings will be when we say “I do”!

What an experience! My fiance and I came away feeling very happy after our day with Carole making our wedding rings. Carole was extremely knowledgeable and guided us so patiently. The rings are so special now that we have made them for eachother and we can’t ever imagine having bought them in a shop. Not only did we make the rings ourselves but we were also able to use family gold, which Carole was so respectful of, making this experience extra special. We are thrilled with the end product and can’t wait to wear our rings next year. Now just to wait for them to return from hallmarking so we can stare at them all day long

Carole made us feel welcome and relaxed. I was nervous about making the ring for my fiancé but I needn’t have worried as Carole was right there all along. Neither of us had done anything like this before and Carole was able guide us expertly in making our rings which have turned out beautifully much to my amazement! It’s a really special experience and I would throughly recommend it to any couple. Having made our rings for each other they will have even more meaning on our Wedding Day.

We had a fantastic time making our wedding rings with Carole last weekend. Having not done anything like this before, we weren’t sure what to expect but the whole morning was so lovely and relaxed! Carole talked us through what to do step by step and helped us to make beautiful rings that we are so happy with. Can’t recommend this enough to others, such a wonderful and unique thing to do and such a fun day!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I really enjoyed helping you make your rings.
Tim and Sue –
We booked having decided that making your own rings would make it a unique and personal experience- Neither of us had any skills or knowledge. Carole was lovely! made us feel welcome and talked us through everything. We really did start from scratch and we were involved in at least 75% of the process (some bits were H+S some needed Caroles expertise) We felt included and “hands on” in the whole process and ended up with 2 beautiful rings , engraved and one of a kind!! Thank you Carole for making it all so interesting and unique. Thoroughly recommend this experience for any couple wanting to make things special!!

What an incredible experience this was! Carole and her husband picked us up from the cruise ship port and we had the most lovely day making our rings! I get so many compliments on my ring and what a special experience it was. We had such a wonderful experience. Carole is amazing and was flexible in making exactly what we wanted. I have a very unique wedding band that is twisted. It was amazing! Thank you Carole!! (Theresa and James – July 2023)

We had an amazing time making our wedding rings with Carole in her workshop. Carole was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to show us various techniques and tools, even some that were beyond what was needed for the rings. The workshop was cosy and well-equipped, making the experience both interesting and enjoyable. The chocolate chip cookies were a delightful bonus! Highly recommended for a unique and memorable experience.
