Make Your Own Ring Workshops
For a couple who wants to say they made the ring themselves: a hands-on session, usually three to seven hours, where a goldsmith guides you through forging, casting or carving your own band. Zürich, Winterthur and the wider Oberland all have working studios running this as a genuine public offering, priced from around CHF 240 upward plus materials. It suits a hands-on couple more than a design-led one, and it is not a substitute for a fully bespoke commission if what you want is a complex stone setting. We rank by how much of the piece you genuinely make yourself versus watch a professional finish.
