"Thank you so much for teaching and helping us make our beautiful rings today. Lacey and I are so amazed with the quality and beauty of both of our rings and will definitely recommend you to any couples we hear pop the question."

"Making the ring was an amazing experience and I really can't imagine having just bought a ring now that I've done it. Sam and Adam were very knowledgeable and really helped my vision come to fruition. Using ethically sourced materials was really important to me and they had great suggestions on how to get such materials! Thanks!"

"The level of detail and customization of the ring-making process was fascinating and made the ring a truly personal creation. The final product was so amazing that it was nearly impossible not to tell my now-fiancee about it [before proposing]. And when the time came on a beach in northern Brazil to finally give it to her, I had to remind myself what the moment was about and not just jabber about the ring. She was completely stunned and loved that I had made it myself. Within hours we were talking about what we would do with our wedding bands. If you want to have complete control and involvement and show some real love, this is the way to go."

"The day was great - relaxed and stress-free. Sam helped us through every step, and when we needed help, he would jump in. Making our own rings means so much more to us than anything store-bought. We are so glad we found Sam and recommend him to anyone interested regardless of skill level. Thanks again!"

"My fiancée and I had a lot of fun making two wedding bands and an engagement ring. We didn't really know what to expect when we saw the box of raw materials that we had ordered (it didn't look like it would amount to much at the time), but we were excited to watch things take shape through the day. We couldn't be happier with our rings; we got just what we wanted, and we made them ourselves! Sam was very helpful, fixing our mistakes, and teaching us how to avoid others. He is extraordinarily patient! When we talked to Sam about the materials we wanted to use, he told us the metals would be a bit hard to work with, but encouraged us to make the rings we wanted, out of the materials we wanted, and with the setting we wanted. With his support, we did just that, and we love them!"

"My experience working in this jewelry workshop was exceptional. Every step of this process was interesting and exciting to me.....from picking out the metals to buffing up a mirror-y shine. The anecdotes both jewelry related and otherwise were funny and informative. The process was clear and accessible and tools were beautiful. I walked in the studio having never worked with metal before in my life but with a clear vision of my desired pieces and left with exactly what I had carried in my mind's eye. That is an amazing testament to the quality of the instruction and the studio space."

"Sam helped me to make my engagement ring and I didn't really know what to expect having never even thought of making jewelry before. I told him my idea and he lead me though the process step by step, from buying the materials to completion of the ring. He told me how to do it with examples and brief demonstrations, but essentially, I made the ring myself. At the end of the day I had made a beautiful ring!"
