Description

Be a goldsmith for a day. Experience step by step how to create a beautiful, handmade ring from recycled 925 sterling silver.
Enjoy a few hours of hands-on work in my living room in Berlin and make your first handmade ring out of silver (sterling silver 925).

I'll show you how to turn a piece of raw material into a beautiful silver ring with a smooth, hammered or matte finish.

A few examples on my fingers will show you your options.

Over the course of about 3 hours, I will guide you step by step to your ring-making success.

After we've determined your ring size over snacks and a cup of tea, the material will be cut to size, worked with a file, and then bent into shape.

Then solder and a soldering iron come into play – we solder your ring together at about 1,000 degrees Celsius.

Now it's time for the finishing touches: Using a hammer, we shape the ring into its perfect round form and polish it to an ever-shinier finish with the right polishing tool.

Depending on the desired finish, the ring will be polished to a high gloss or given a hammered pattern or a matte finish.

In this workshop, you will work with classic goldsmithing techniques and craft a simple, elegant ring with clean lines by hand. Unfortunately, very complex or organic designs (e.g., from Pinterest or using the lost-wax casting method) cannot be realized during the workshop.
