Make your own wedding rings
At Francesca Stella Jewellery Studio, couples are invited to take part in a truly special experience—the Make Your Own Wedding Rings Workshop and Retreat. It’s an exclusive and intimate class that offers couples the unique opportunity to design and craft their wedding rings together under the expert guidance of goldsmith Francesca Stella.
Each couple will work closely with Francesca to create rings that reflect their individual styles and love story. From selecting ethically sourced materials, such as Single Mine Origin (SMO) gold, to learning the traditional techniques of ring-making, this workshop is a hands-on journey that results in one-of-a-kind, meaningful wedding rings.
For those wishing to make the occasion even more special, luxury accommodation at Tredower Retreats is available. Couples can relax and unwind between sessions with access to the Natural Spa, which includes a wood-fired sauna and hot tub, and a spring-water-fed pond.
The workshop provides a supportive, personal setting where every couple can create rings that are as unique as their bond.

The 2 days and 3 nights Residential Essential workshop unfolds as follows:
You arrive Fri from 4pm. Settle in. The natural Spa and accommodation will be available for you to use.
Saturday is workshop time (10-4 with light lunch included). My studio is in the same location as your accommodation, just a different building, Tredower Retreats
On the Saturday you will make a sample of your rings using silver (price included into the workshop cost). It’s a way to break the ice with learning some skills before you’ll move to gold the following day.
Sunday workshop time again (10-4 with light lunch included) same studio space just up the drive. On Sunday you will make your rings in gold. On this second day of the workshop I will get more involved if I see that you are too nervous or if simply you feel better by me taking charge of the making process. If by the end of the day your rings are not finished I will make sure they are looking perfect and indeed they are ready for you.
Monday is checking out time by 10am
After the workshop you need to allow two weeks for the rings to be hallmarked by the assay office and return to you. This service is included in the workshop fee.
During your stay the hot tub and sauna will be available to you for 1.5 hours daily and you can book a time slot once you are at the premises.
