One of our amazing silversmiths will lead you and your party through a 2-3.5 hour workshop where we’ll help you design and create your jewelry from scratch with the highest quality .925 sterling silver metal.

To ensure you go home with a piece you love, our silversmiths will help you along the entire process. We strive to make our workshops as hands on as possible. For safety and liability reasons, there are certain aspects of the process that our experienced silversmiths will do for you.

TO KNOW:

• .925 sterling silver gemstone rings, pendants, bolo ties, bracelets and both stud + dangle earrings.

• We do not have an age restriction! However, depending on the skill level of the participant they may not be able to participate in every aspect of the process.

• ​Guests are welcome to bring in their own stone(s) for use in a workshop, provided they are flat-back cabochons; all stones will be assessed in store prior to the workshop, and depending on size, shape, or condition, some pieces may not be approved for use. Pricing for personal stones will be determined in store based on stone size and the amount of metal required, and while we take great care during the process, we are not liable for stones that may break or scratch during fabrication. Please note that sea glass, coins, glass of any kind, and ceramics are not permitted for use in workshops.

• The price is per piece made. Base price + the gem you choose + any optional additions you choose. The average price is between $85 - $120. Workshop is paid in full at the end in person, you do not pay anything when booking.

• Gemstone workshops are by reservation only. Book in advance to ensure that you can reserve enough spots for you and your party.
