MEIRAKO RING MAKING WORKSHOP FAQ

WHAT IS THE RING MAKING WORKSHOP?

Our workshop is a hands-on jewelry-making experience where you and your friend(s) create custom rings together. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate friendship, milestones, or simply enjoy a fun, creative day out.

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE IN JEWELRY MAKING?

NOT AT ALL! No prior experience is required! Just bring your creativity and excitement. Our instructors will guide you through the process.

HOW INVOLVED WILL I BE IN MAKING THE RING?

You’ll be making about 90% OF THE RING YOURSELF. Our instructors will guide you step by step and be right there to help if you need assistance. We’ll make sure you feel confident and supported throughout the process.

WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU OFFER?

We provide high-quality SOLID GOLD and STERLING SILVER for your rings. You’ll get to work directly with these premium metals to create something truly personal.

White gold is not something we usually keep in stock. If you’d like to use white gold, please contact us at least 10 days in advance so we can prepare the material for your workshop.

Not sure which option is right for you? Don’t worry—our team will guide you based on your style, budget, and what feels best for you. ✨

HOW LONG IS THE WORKSHOP?

Each session typically runs 1–2 hours, depending on the number of participants.

HOW MANY RINGS CAN I MAKE?

Each participant creates ONE HANDCRAFTED RING during the session. To ensure everyone has the full experience, a SEPARATE TICKET IS REQUIRED FOR EACH GUEST.

WHEN CAN I TAKE MY RING HOME?

For most metals, you’ll be able to TAKE YOUR FINISHED RING HOME THE SAME DAY after the workshop.

The only exception is white gold — because of its natural properties, it requires an extra step of cleaning and polishing. White gold rings will be ready for pickup in about 2–3 weeks.

HOW DOES SILVER CLAY WORK?

Silver clay is a material made of tiny particles of silver mixed with an organic binder and water. You’ll shape and imprint it during the workshop. Once fired and polished, it transforms into a piece of SOLID SILVER 999 jewelry.

WHAT WILL I BE MAKING?

You’ll design and create a one-of-a-kind silver piece using silver clay. Most participants make a ring or pendant, and you’ll also have the option to add a gemstone setting for a truly personal touch.

CAN I CHOOSE GEMSTONES?

Yes! We provide a selection of gemstones for you to choose from during the workshop. Our instructors will guide you through setting your stone securely in your piece.

WHEN CAN I TAKE MY JEWELRY HOME?

Your piece will be ready to take home the same day after firing and polishing.

HOW LONG IS THE WORKSHOP?

Workshops typically run for about 2.5-3 hours.
