Make a Heart or Circle Sterling Silver or Gold Filled Ring
In my latest jewellery making class you will learn to make an open heart or circle ring. You can choose to make sterling silver or 14ct gold filled ring.
This Edinburgh based jewellery workshop is aimed at total beginners who have never made any jewellery before. Participants must be 15 or over and under 18s must be accompanied by an adult who is also doing the workshop. Each workshop has a maximum of 5 people, you can book as an individual or a group. You will leave the class with a ring you will be proud to boast you made it yourself!
During the class I will cover:
- how to size your fingers
- shaping and forming the ring
- sawing to create the perfect join
- soldering
- filing and sanding for a beautiful finish
- adding texture
- polishing
The price includes the sterling silver one sterling silver ring, if you wish to make gold filled rings, there is a additional charge of £15 per ring payable at the time of booking, see the drop down options above. I cannot guarantee I will have gold filled ready in the class for anyone who hasn’t selected it at checkout.
Gold filled wire has a base metal core surrounded in a thick layer of 14ct gold, giving you gold to wear but for a more reasonable price. It’s a much thicker layer of gold than gold plating, making it more durable and your creations should remain looking good for years to come.
You may wish to bring an apron to wear, although it’s not essential. We will have a tea and coffee break and some yummy homemade cake.

Who is your tutor?
I have been working full time as a jeweller since 2009 and enjoy teaching as a way to support my practice. In my previous career, I worked in a role conducting training courses and I love the ability to combine both skill sets. I keep my classes small at a maximum of 5 participants so I have time to support you individually. I like my classes to be a fun, informative and creative environment, I hope you enjoy your workshop!
