Make Your Own Wedding Bands

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could make your own wedding bands instead of just picking out one from a store?

If you could actually make rings for each other, using your own two hands, with love and care?

What if you could spend a few hours in our Syracuse studio, forming and forging both a ring, and a bond?

Now You Can.

Couples who choose to make their own rings are usually the adventurous sort who don’t get too caught up in perfectionism.

You are willing to risk a little-it’s metalsmithing after all and things don’t always go perfectly. Sometimes we have to make adjustments and do things a few times before we get it where we want it to be.

You are someone who enjoys the experience and the process of creating something together, for each other.

It’s an opportunity to step outside of the hussle and bussle of pre-wedding stressors and just be together. Hammers are also great stress relievers.


The plain gold bands were created by Amanda and Nathan in our studio.

How it Works:

  • Use our contact form to reach out to Kelly and express your interest

  • We schedule a complementary consultation to discuss your vision and measure ring sizes

  • Kelly then prices out metals and lets you know the cost for materials.

  • If you decide to move forward we order the metals for your rings

  • Once the metal arrives, we set up a time for your private lesson

  • The lesson itself takes about 2-3 hours

  • We practice using copper first so you get the hang of things before moving to precious metals

  • Then we make your actual rings and box them up for you

  • Finally, we raise a toast to celebrate your beautiful work and future life together!


Pricing

The cost for the private lesson is currently $350 per couple, plus the cost of materials.

Materials are based on the market price of precious metal at the time the order is placed.

The lessons are typically 2-3 hours long and include light refreshments to keep your energy up and to celebrate a job well done.
