Join me in creating your very own ring in this beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop. Guided by Eileen, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the ancient lost wax technique to design and carve your own unique ring.
This workshop is designed to be relaxing and creative. You’ll explore how to carve, sculpt, and shape wax into a one-of-a-kind design that reflects your style. Once completed, your wax piece will be sent to a professional foundry to be cast in solid sterling silver. Eileen will then personally finish, clean, and polish your ring before it’s ready for collection at the studio or posted to you (postage additional). Your finished piece will be ready within 2–3 weeks.

Yes, you can certainly wear them in water; and yes you can also use your standard skincare products.
For the longevity of your jewellery we do recommend avoiding harsh chemicals such as cleaning products and alcohol based perfumes. Wash them with a soft brush and warm soapy water; and polish them with polishing cloth to keep them shiny.
It is best to remove jewellery before showering swimming, sleeping, washing your hands or applying lotion or perfume. Some of the raw gemstones can also get damaged when in contact with water.
Be careful to avoid tugging your pieces when putting them on or off.
When not in use, store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight plastic ziplock bag, box or pouch (like the one we supply with delivery) to avoid tarnishing. Store separately to prevent scratching and tangling.
