Reception
Design Consultation
Before getting started, you will be shown some jewelry samples. After deciding on your designs, you're good to go!
The Making Starts
Lengthening The Metal
An ingot of metal, the very material used to make your ring, will be provided. This ingot will be lengthened out with the metal roller repeatedly—a process known as the "forging method." Applying more pressure to the metal increases its density along with durability, thus ensuring your jewelry to last a lifetime.
30 Minutes In
Engraving
Engrave on the back of the metal with either metal stamps or machine after it lengthens out into a rod. Do it yourself or exchange with your partner!
1 Hour In
Shaping
Make your ring metal round with a wooden hammer and a steel ring mandrel. The rounded metal is then further compressed with a bending machine to strengthen its durability. After which, "soldering" takes place, eliminating any gaps or pockets of air between the joints and enclosing the metal to form a ring.
Achieving The Perfect Fit
As you will be trying on the ring during the process, it is indubitable that you will achieve a better fit than when you purchase ready-made rings!
2 Hours In
Filing and Sanding
More tools are used to smoothen the surfaces of your ring.
2 Hours 30 Minutes In
Adding Textures
The ring still has a plain surface at this stage. For those who wish to have a textured ring, this is where hand-hammering comes in. The best part? No two rings have the same texture, so what you own is truly one-of-a-kind!
What's Popular?
The hammered texture is well-loved for its distinctive hand-made element. Every strike carries its unique characteristic, and with that, every ring becomes the one-and-only in the world. Partners also often create textures for each other!
3 Hours In
Completion!
And your rings are complete and can be put on right away!
Who would've thought that a decent pair of wedding bands can be completed within a day! These rings could just become the talk of the wedding ceremony; not to mention the rings' fine quality and how time-saving the process was in the midst of other wedding preparations. To top it all, this memorable experience, too, will last a lifetime.

リングを手作りしたお客様の声
Handmade Jewelry and Quality Time with Family
It was enjoyable to be able to choose the type of look we want for our jewelry, to take pictures freely, and to see and hear the jewelry-making process up-close!
Handmade Tree Bark Texture Wedding Bands
We liked how we get to decide on the designs of our rings. The artisans are here to help, but we were able to handle the processes without much difficulty. From this workshop, we were also able to understand how rings are forged.
Handmade Champagne Gold Wedding Bands
We love the experience of forging the raw metal into our ideal ring and making it one-of-a-kind in the world. Moreover, it's refreshing to see the artisans at work—something you don't always get to see.
Handmade Platinum 950 Wedding Bands
It was our first experience making rings and it was so fun! We were touched when the rings started sparkling as we polished them!
