Wedding Ring Workshops

Come to Melissa Hunt’s studio in the picturesque village of Brampton Bryan to make a pair of beautiful bespoke wedding or civil partnership bands. After an initial consultation to establish ring sizes and design ideas, we will spend a mutually agreed upon day working on practice pieces in silver before creating a pair of stunning rings in a precious metal of your choice. These will be sent to the London Assay Office for hallmarking, and then they will be yours to keep and wear. It is often possible to incorporate gemstones, engraving and elements of other pieces of jewellery into these rings if desired.

Email melissahuntjewellery@hotmail.com or call 07931 351233 to discuss your ideas for these lovely personal creations.
