DIY WEDDING RINGS
Start your lives together with a special bond
- DO IT YOURSELF WEDDING RINGS! -
Make your own custom wedding rings in a private class with Master Goldsmith Don Lyon. With over 40 years of experience as a professional goldsmith, you will be in good hands every step of the way. Weather your making simple wedding band, or a complex engagement ring, Don is there to assist you through the entire process. There is no project too big or too small.
Begin with raw materials and forge the rings you will wear for the rest of your life. Just imagine how special it will feel to have made it yourself. This cost and time needed for this class depends on the complexity of the project. Most Wedding Ring Workshops are completed in 4 hours. Occasionally complex designs require more time and the amount of time needed, and additional compensation is discussed before booking your class.
Materials are a separate fee, and because they are precious metals, depend totally on the complexity of the design and market value of the material you choose to use.
Costs are as follows:
Cost depends on number of students, the complexity and time needed to complete the projects
- Weekdays - one student - starting at $700 + precious materials
- Weekdays - two students - starting at $800 + precious materials
- Weekends - one student - starting at $800 + precious materials
- Weekends - two students - starting at $900 + precious materials
Any inquires within 2 weeks of the desired date of the class is an additional $100 and within 1 week is $200, not including expedited shipping rates for materials.
This workshop fee includes a 45 minute consultation, class time and any follow-up sizing and re-polishing (within 30 days of your class). During the consultation we review material choice, dimensions of the material and design, then we order all precious metals together during the consultation. We donβt mark-up the cost of the precious metals, you pay what we would pay, we only charge for class time. Note that the precious metal market changes daily (and the smallest changes in design can altar the price greatly); we will give you a quote during the consultation, but we can't guarantee the exact price until the material is ordered. We do recommend that this consultation is scheduled at least two weeks before the date of the class, whenever possible.
