Making your wedding rings together is a unique experience that couples travel from around the world to Port Townsend, WA to do. The process from first contact to finished rings typically takes 3-6 months, though some couples move faster. Here's your step-by-step guide to getting started.

Are you excited to pick up a torch, saw, and hammers to make your own wedding rings or anniversary bands? Here's how to get started on your ring-making journey.

Step 1: Design Your Wedding Rings

A great place to begin is by giving some thought to the rings that you want to make, exchange, and wear for the rest of your lives (no pressure!) There are many ways to customize your rings. But don't feel like you have to add more just because you can. Simple bands are just as meaningful as more elaborate designs. Sharing the experience of making your rings together really makes them one of a kind.

Helpful pages to get you thinking about your designs:

It can be helpful to look around online or at a jewelry store to try rings on. You can start by collecting photos of what you like. From there I can make sure that your ideas are doable. Just remember that some styles will come and go. While your ring doesn’t have to be “timeless” give some thought to what you might want to see on your hand 10, 20, 50 years from now.

Step 2: Book Your Ring Making Workshop

Once you have an idea of the rings you want to make, it's time to book your workshop. Most couples book 3-6 months in advance, especially for weekend appointments. Here's how the booking process works:"
