Wide Gemstone Ring Workshop (4-6 Hours)

Make a wide band ring with an introduction to gemstone setting at this jewellery-making class in Cardiff.



5 hours Location Cardiff Class size 1 to 6 guests   £150

Spend a creative session at the workbench in this ring-making workshop in Cardiff, where you'll make your own wide ring band, finished with a gemstone from a wide choice of stones. Stones available are typically 3–5 mm.
This is a hands-on, beginner-friendly class for anyone who'd love to design and craft a piece of jewellery that's entirely theirs.
Don't worry if you've never picked up a jewellery tool before – you'll have plenty of friendly support throughout, and you'll be working with high-quality materials and tools from start to finish. Your teacher will walk you through each technique, so you can take things at a comfortable pace and enjoy every step.
Here's what you'll get up to:
  • Shape and handcraft a silver ring with a wider band than stacking rings.
  • Experiment with surface finishes, textures and patterns to give each ring its own character.
  • Use a bezel setting to hold your choice of gemstone perfectly in place.
  • Learn core silversmithing skills, including ring sizing, shaping, soldering, filing, finishing and bezel setting.
It's a rewarding, feel-good way to learn skills you'll keep using long after the class, with that brilliant moment of seeing your gemstone settle into its setting for the very first time.
By the end of the day, you'll head home with a custom ring that you made yourself, plus a fresh boost of confidence in what your hands can create.

Hi! I'm Angela, a trained silversmith in Cardiff / Vale of Glamorgan. I have around 15 years of experience making different types of jewellery using everything from beads and mixed media to traditional methods of gold and silversmithing. I've taught many students, and I love seeing them create something shiny and unique, knowing that no one out there has the same piece that they have made. Come and join me in my lovely village workshop, and let's make something sparkly and fabulous together!
