This class is designed to provide you with the essential groundwork needed for wax carving all whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly in a relaxed, creative environment.
Carving wax gives you endless options to freely design whatever ring you want, as you are not limited to a silver wire or strip. This technique allows you to create something 3D, abstract, classic, chunky, geometric or organic, so you can let your imagination run wild!
The workshop begins with a short introduction to the lost wax process and its uses. Ros and Milena will inform you about basic tips and tricks on how to design a comfortable ring. Showing you various techniques and tools that can be used.
You will then start by designing/sketching out your ring, (samples and images will be available for inspiration) before beginning to carve your wax.
Once you’re happy with your finished carving we will show you how to complete the ring and prepare it for casting. After the class your wax carved ring will be cast, finished and polished by Ros and Milena using recycled silver. We will contact you once it’s ready for collection or we can post it out to you.
If you wish to have your ring gold plated or have your wax cast in solid gold than this will be at an additional cost and can be paid for and decided on the day. 

Your finished silver ring will be ready for collection or posting within 2.5-3 weeks after the class.

Extra services such as engraving, gold plating and stone setting are offered at an additional cost. These can be requested at the end of the class. Please note these services have a lead time of 2-3 weeks on top of the casting/finishing time.

Harry Salter

The most wonderful experience. Took my partner for his birthday and we had such a great time. It was a really special activity to do together. The team are so friendly, informative and helpful, and good fun too. We left so excited to receive our rings and would recommend this to anyone looking for a creative activity for a special occasion or just to treat yourself!

Samantha Lyons

Fabulous class, was given lots of help and very happy with our rings. Will definitely revisit soon.
Thank you for such a great session. 

Callum Henderson 

Great experience.  Well worth it. The ladies running the place were lovely and very helpful. Will be taking another one of their classes soon for sure 

Trisha Jethwa

This experience was really great and unique! I am glad I opted for this class as the on hand experts knowledge and advice was very helpful! Would recommend to friends and I am really looking forward to seeing the finished ring!

Ella Jones

I had an amazing time at the Ringsmiths workshop, Ros and Milena were fab and really helped me create the vision that I had, I can’t wait to get my ring back! I’ll definitely be taking part in another workshop next time I’m in London! 

Marie Claire Reffel

Me and my friend had such a great time with the Ringsmiths. They were very patient with my indecision and have just the right amount of guidance giving us enough space to use our imaginations! 

Lianne Walsh

Great fun, and good value. Can’t wait to get my ring!

Jasmine Chikhlia

Most amazing class! Had so much fun creating my very own bespoke and unique ring. Ros was great at explaining how to carve our rings and the different techniques. Great idea for birthday gifts, I booked this class for me and my bestest friend and he really enjoyed it too 🥰

Richard Lao

Esther Brown

Such a lovely way to spend an afternoon. The whole experience was absolutely superb. We would perhaps have liked a little longer to continue the process but this is something that I would definitely want to do again.


Emilie Morrow

Amazing introduction to ring making - it was a perfect balance of teaching, hands on learning and support along the way. The team are clearly experts of their craft and super encouraging. Can't wait to see what they helped me create :)

P.S. the beautiful space was made extra special by the most adorable little pup :)

Lala Kubba

I loved the workshop. I can not wait to see the final results. I really want to join the "Make your own silver ring" also. Hopefully soon.

The location of "Design your own Silver Ring" was amazing. I loved the Oxo Tower. The tutors were very helpful and the space was really clean. Moreover I loved the chosen building; Oxo Tower. The view was also outstanding!

Cerys Dowling

Such a fun experience making rings, really lovely teachers and so many options of skills to learn, really fun would highly recommend 

Sander Holthof

Rory Mcswiggan

Loved it! Was a roughly enjoyable experience. You are in very capable and knowledgable hands. Friendly and helpful you wouldn’t step a foot wrong crafting your ring and guided you to make your vision come to life. 

Becky Allen

Such a lovely class to take. Teachers are wonderful and so helpful. Only problem is that there wasn’t enough time!! (I could have gone with a simpler design though) 
Overall, would highly recommend.

Henry Dyne

Amazing experience!!! Enjoyed every minute. 

Even if you think you wouldn't be able to make it as you are as creatively challenged as I, the artists help you along the way and we had 3 artists for a class of 10 which felt like there was always someone available. 

Quality of the workshop is incredible & will and have already, reccomend. 

Only thing I would suggest as feedback is we are so in the moment that we don't take any photos on special days so perhaps one of thr artists could take a few photos of the class and post online? 

Calum Dear

Great fun, everyone was so lovely and the atmosphere was super relaxed. Probably said five times within the last 24hrs that we can't wait to pick our rings up!!

Emma  McRae 

Wow, what a fun and creative day. 
I felt guided through the entire ring making process and the knowledgeable instructors/jewellers really encouraged me to create the perfect ring for me. 
It's a lovely feeling to know that you have hand carved a unique piece of jewellery just for you. 

I would highly recommend this class and  will definitely be booking to go again with a friend. 

Peter Hickson

The Design Your Own Silver Ring workshop was simply PERFECT! Ros and Milena where great and my ring is beautiful. I was thinking about getting a new ring but couldn't really find one I liked, but then found the Ringsmiths and thought it was the perfect opportunity to learn something new and create my next ring. The workshop was beautiful, easy to get to (being right next to Blackfriars station), and Peppa the dog was always about to keep us entertained while we were busy carving (she doesn't like the postman very much by the sounds of it). The process itself was easy to do and your imagination really is the limit. Ros and Milena were really encouraging and enthusiastic about our ideas and helping bring them to life. The delight on Milena's face when I said I wanted to make a dinosaur was wonderful. (Yes, I'm the person who made the dinosaur ring if it gets mentioned in your class!) The time flew by but with regular time checks and guidance, it was plenty of time to design the ring I wanted. The turn around time once you've carved it was great too, and even with hallmarking, it was still very reasonably priced and a good turn around time with good communication about when I could come and pick it up.
I have been raving about The Ringsmiths to many of my friends, and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. I hope to come back to do some of their other courses at some point, especially the design your own wedding rings one, I DEFINITELY want to do that... when I've found a partner of course haha.

I can't express my gratitude enough to the Ringsmiths for setting up this course and for making the whole experience so brilliant. I can't stress enough how much I loved it and would recommend it to ANYONE!!!

Amy Proudfoot

Absolutely loved it, amazing and would definitely recommend! 

Will  Allard

Me and my partner were really impressed with our experience with the ring smiths. They were fantastic would 100% recommend 

Nickil Dhokia

What a fantastic creative experience. The instructors were both super friendly and knowledgeable. Loved carving our rings with 1on1 guidance when required. Would definitely recommend. Would’ve loved more time for sure. 

Emily Phillips

Great class, lovely instructors and super fun/cool/quality rings at the end. 10/10 deffo recommend 

Dante Tejuoso

Was so much fun! I’m not creative at all but really enjoyed picking a design and carving it out. The instructors were so friendly and helpful and guided us until we got to our finished ring. I’d definitely recommend this as a gift, we really enjoyed 

Lucy Mackenzie

Had such a great time at the design your own silver ring workshop. Was just the right amount of info for a rookie to jewellery making and using the wax meant it was forgiving enough if something went wrong. Milena was really attentive and patient and made it feel like we we just there with another friend. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to see what the actual ring looks like! 

Alex Jones

Such a fantastic design your ring workshop! Great fun, really informative and engaging and with a really pleasant and lovely atmosphere - clearly lots and lots of thought has gone into making this session as good as it can be - thank you for such a good time!

Lara Black

Very fun and unique experience that I got as a gift for our wedding anniversary so that we could design the rings exactly as we wanted and personalise them. The team were lovely and very helpful and the setting is great. I do think that the workshop should be longer as we didn't have time to finish polishing/embellishing etc and it felt very rushed towards the end. Once you go the bigger size and add plating overall the rings are not cheap, but you have something completely unique and bespoke to take home and we really love how they came out!

Katie Harrison

Really fun experience, and the hosts were so helpful with their suggestions. Would definitely recommend! 

Carl Timehin

Amazing teachers and class. Great atmosphere and sure helpful in order to create our ideas.

Thomas Gohl

Booked this class for my GF birthday present and it was such good fun! You’re looked after and guided through out whilst having the freedom to get creative and get really invested into making your our personal one of a kind ring! Going to recommend to family & friends! Buzzing to get our rings!

Mari Teitelbaum

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon - learned so much and created something beautiful.  Thank you :)

Imani Wilson

I really enjoyed this ring-making course and would highly recommend it to others wanting to do it. The people running the workshop were friendly and super helpful when I had questions about the shape of my ring and the gemstones I wanted to include. I went on my own and met a few others who were on their own too. I would love to come back and do another course with them soon! :)

Morgan Oakes

Perfect class to get you making and creating. Super fun to do with your partner or friends, loved learning all about the knowledge and history and it was a safe and comforting environment to learn in. So excited for my rings!! 

Katie Knight

It was a lovely workshop and the staff were all so helpful and welcoming. Will recommend to friends and family! 

Paola Rosato

Great workshop! I loved it and the girls were super nice and helpful!
Only feedback is that we had just one hour to create the ring, I would extend the 2h session or reduce the first “educational part”.
Overall a great experience, can’t wait to receive my ring!

Dylan Howson

Eva Jungreis

Great session!! Such a fun way to make a tangible, lasting memories. 

Sam Ryan 

Had a great time doing the workshop. Looking forward to the rings being finished.

Thanks again

Sam Newman

I took me and my boyfriend to a ring smith workshop for his birthday and it was so much fun. The staff were great, so helpful and supportive and made it such a great experience and I would highly recommend one of third workshops!

Danielle O'Brien

This is a really special activity to do with a friend or loved one! The instructors are so attentive and helpful, they were all professional jewellers and had so much insight into the wax techniques. Both myself and my boyfriend were extremely happy we chose to do this during our trip to London. Very excited to see our finished products! 

Ayla Murdoch

Such a fun experience. I was in London for 24hrs and was so happy i did this, such a cool little gift to myself and got to learn something new!

Caitlin McNally

Had a great time at our session, the demo was very thorough and helped us to understand all the techniques available to us. The team were super supportive and encouraging, helping us to achieve our designs in the time we had. Overall a great day, would love to do it again and would recommend to anyone!

Rebecca Meyrick

Beautiful studio and really talented jewellers who helped. Strongly felt there wasn’t enough time, only had an hour to sculpt the ring, I’d have paid to stayed longer. Overall I have a ring I don’t really like as I couldn’t finish it in time. But I understand this is partially my own doing but I would like the option to stay longer.

Flora Cantoni Branco

I had a lovely time at the ring making workshop! The staff was incredible and made the experience amazing! Would highly recommend 

Rosie Campbell

Really fascinating and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Inspirational teaching and I loved that we were given a brief context and history related to working in silver via wax and shown a fantastic range of possible techniques. 
The active part of the class was also very well supported - I never felt I didnt know how to proceed and our two experienced jewellers on hand meant help and advice was immediately available.

Luis Knowles 

Fantastic. Would recommend. Best date ever. 

Zubin Roy

Great workshop class. Bought as a birthday gift for my partner and both of us have 0 ring making experience but the 2 teachers are super helpful and informative. Not only did we learn a bit about ring making we also had a great time making them. 

Sophie Walker

I done making a ring from wax and it wasn't my first time taking a ring making course with the ring Smith's, I absolutely love it! I've taken my boyfriend and my mum, it's a wonderful experience, I recommend it too EVERYONE!!! 

Dipali Halai

We had the most amazing time creating our own rings. Everyone was so friendly and would 100% recommend. 

Miri Blair 

Workshop was fine, good and detailed explanation with lots of rings to look at to help you with your design. However, it was incredibly expensive for what it was, having any minor additions or adjustments costing upwards of £30. Very disappointed with the fact that an emergency occurred that caused us to lose time and we weren’t able to have an extra time to complete it. Then when wanting a refund due to circumstances out of our control, we had to explain heavily why we wanted one and have yet to actually receive the money a month after we were granted one.

Hannah  Allison

Such a lovely experience. 
I loved making my ring and the lovely team we welcoming and super helpful.
I would really recommend!

Kyra Harris

I booked this for my partners birthday and we had so much fun! Was great to do something like that together, create fun memories and have a beautiful ring that’s completely one of a kind to take away from it!

Ana Dario

Me and my boyfriend absolutely loved it ! Would definitely recommend xxx

Kate Peacock

I had a lovely time at The Ringsmiths making a wax carved silver ring. The girls were so helpful and supportive as well as being enthusiastic about everyone’s ideas. It was a great afternoon

Isobel Ridler

Had such a great time the first time (present from friend), I decided to come back again myself and take a friend for their birthday :)! Very professional but friendly environment to learn and have fun making unique jewellery - thank you!

Emma Martin

My parter and I had a great time at the class and we love our rings. Jo and Lili were really friendly and attentive, and gave clear explanations of how it all worked! Definitely would like to do it again or get the home kit to try myself at home, as I'm a perfectionist and would love to have a little more time!

Rishi Shah

It was a great experience and would highly recommend. All the staff were very knowledgeable and so helpful! They give you so many options and offer help throughout! Look forward to receiving the final product!

Georgia Newman

Had such an amazing time! The staff were amazing and so helpful would definitely recommend!

Louie Scott

Such an amazing ring making workshop. The workshop was really in-depth overview of how to create a ring that you will love. We were shown lots of different techniques to create a unique and personalised ring. There was also a wide range of jewels to choose from, as well as a choice of finishes. The teachers were definitely experts in the field which meant they could guide everyone with all of the techniques and gave great advice on stylistic choices.

Cara Wiltshire

This is the second ringsmiths workshop we have done and we loved it. It is always so friendly and supportive and you truly learn a lot. I am always recommended ringsmiths to everyone! 

Libby Allen

Great venue and great staff on hand to help with every step! I think the class would benefit with an extra 30 minutes to finalise the rings as it felt a bit rushed, other than that would highly recommend! 

Alistair Malhotra

It was a lovely experience! My partner gifted this workshop to me for my birthday and I couldn't have been happier with our workshop. Jo, our instructor was clear with instructions and very helpful when needed - she was an absolute star!
We just picked up our rings and love them! Now thinking about the At-Home kits...

sarah miller

I bought this for my husband's birthday and we both left with a smile on our face. It was a really enjoyable way of spending a couple of hours and we learnt something along the way. Thank you. 

Michelle Moroney

Great class! My partner and I attended the 'Make a Silver Ring' in 2021 and really enjoyed the experience, so we were happy to return for the 'Design Your Own Silver Ring' session, this time at Oxo Tower Wharf. 

The instructor was really friendly and we enjoyed the small class as each person was able to get support and advice when designing the ring. Location is easy to get too, and my partner loved all the adds ons available (he went for quite a few!). Thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail! Just received the text saying our rings were ready to collect this morning, so very excited to see the end result! Have recommended The Ringsmiths to a number of my mates!

Vasiliki Tamvaki

It was amazing! The instructors were so helpful and patient. Such a good experience! I also loved the variety of stones. The only thing was that I wish we had more time working on our ring. Other than that it was amazing:)

Aoife Taylor

I loved making my ring! It was so much fun and the staff were lovely. It was such a unique experience that I’d love to do again at some point:)

Katie Stratford

I was arranging a friends 40th and wanted to do something different to the usual dinner and drinks. I had seen The Ringsmiths ring design classes online and just loved how the set up looked. Needless to say I and the girls were not disappointed. We were welcomed to the class and felt immediately comfortable. The cocktail and sweets provided added to the day and we felt no pressure to add more to our designs. It was so much fun! We arranged delivery to my address for ease and when the designs came ( exactly on time 😃) we were all amazed at the quality of the silver and materials. We all absolutely loved the class, the rings we’ve made will truly be a special memory of a fun day out together! Thanks Ringsmiths for making the class such a brilliant experience! 

Helena Robertson

This workshop was fantastic, every step was explained really well, we were given any guidance needed and plenty of time to create a unique and special piece. I'm very happy with my ring and it's so nice to come away with something I've made myself! Thank you!

Jo Bucci 

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and would highly recommend it.  There were so many options for the types of ring that we could create and we were given lots of useful advice and tips from the team.  The group was the perfect size and I really liked seeing what other people were working on.  My only comment would be that it felt slightly rushed - ideally I think it should be 30 minutes longer.  

Ethan Burkett

Was awesome my gf loved doing it as an early Xmas present

Roxanne Cottey

I really enjoyed the ring making workshop - I knew very quickly I would want to return for another session! The jewelers running the class were very informative, friendly and helpful.  There were lots of options for customisation, and overall I was really pleased with my design. Thank you!

Yasmin Bano

The girls are incredible at their job and the experience was so enjoyable and educative. Looking forward to seeing the end product!

Rebecca Placucci

I booked the workshop for me  and my friend as a gift for her birthday! It was a great experience! An amazing way to combine an “experience” kind of gift, but also create a personal timeless piece! 

Jonathan Dicks

Great fun and amazing teachers despite my lack of natural design ability haha LOVED IT! 

Megan Clinch

Me and my two besties did the make your own silver ring workshop yesterday and we had the best time ever! We are sooooo excited to receive our rings back 🤩 everyone working there was so lovely and helpful, gorgeous little setting and couldn’t recommend the experience enough! 

Eliza Buckley

Really enjoyed the session - it is fun, informative and the teachers were good. However, it would be better to have a shorter introduction and more time making - or a longer session overall. We only had 1 hour for making the ring which felt a bit rushed. Nice to have a cocktail but tea/coffee would have been nice for an 11am class. Also use of a toilet, having to walk downstairs to a cafe (where the toilets we out of use) isn't great for a £95 workshop. Overall, enjoyed it but felt a bit more time making might have resulted in a better ring.

morgan holdsworth 

my boyfriend and i went for our valentines gifts to each other and we had SO much fun. i picked out a garnet and he got to do some engraving. i would absolutely do it again! i wish we had a little bit longer though as it felt a bit bake-off level with timings 

Shannon Swinburn

The class was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! We showed some inspo pics and straight away they were able to give us guidance on what to do to realise our designs. We walked away so happy with what we were able to make and are so excited to receive our finished pieces!! We have already recommended the class to friends and are tempted to go back for round 2 ourselves  

Laura Steward

Great experience making the rings, arrived before estimated time, not too happy with the packaging as have seen other get theirs in nice little bags and ours arrived in tissue paper.

abigail Wallace

Quite possibly one of the best things I’ve ever done!! Everyone was so friendly and nice! Really enjoyed the whole process :) 

Sandra Huang

Really loved the experience! The jewellers there were so nice and helpful and kept checking in with everyone to provide support! I ended up used different techniques for my ring and I’m really looking forward to how it looks like in silver!

Scarlett  Khota 

Can’t recommend this class enough. The ladies were super informative and made it so much fun can’t wait to see  mine and my daughters rings. Already planning the next visit!! Five Stars!!

Anna Von Mallinckrodt

We had such a fun time at the Ringsmiths studio making our sculpted silver rings! We were given clear instructions/demos, all the tools and materials we needed, examples and inspiration, as well as a delicious cocktail (with a non-alcoholic option) and some sweets to keep us going. A helping hand was always available for when it got a bit tricky or fiddly so no matter your experience and ability (or lack of) you’ll end up with the ring of your dreams! Everyone was so lovely and made the experience so relaxing and enjoyable, will definitely be returning for another workshop soon :)

Joann Egunjobi

Loved every second of the class. I would absolutely recommend it to all my friends. It was amazing!

Emily Blanchard

I booked this class for a friend as well, as I thought it would make a great treat activity to do together. The group atmosphere was really relaxed and friendly, and I felt that I learned such a lot in a short space of time. Most importantly, I'm really happy with the ring I designed. I'll be recommending the experience to friends.

Adam Pabani

My girlfriend and I had a really fun time crafting our rings. Milena and Maria were really great teachers and hosts and made us feel very welcome and provide loads of encouragement and advice on how to craft a ring which we would like. My girlfriend and I also really appreciated that they would step in when we needed help to provide a higher quality finish then what we ourselves were able to manage on our own. All in all I would definitely recommend this workshop!

Lauren Walker

The ring designing experience was really fun, the staff were super helpful and kind. I would defiantly recommend doing this experience and I can't wait to see the final product.
