November 2026 · Unsworth Heights, Auckland

Make your own ring from wax to silver

A calm 3-hour workshop. You saw, shape and file a wax ring by hand. After the class, I'll take care of the final finishing and casting for you, and in two to three weeks your wax carving comes back as a finished sterling silver ring, ready to wear.

Good to know

Where is it?

55 Meadowood Drive, Unsworth Heights, Auckland. Street parking is available.

Do I need experience?

No. Most people who come have never held a jeweller's saw. I'll guide you through every step.

When do I get my ring?

In about two to three weeks. After the class, I'll take care of the final finishing and casting for you. Then I'll post the ring to you, or get in touch to arrange a pickup location.

What if my design needs more than 5g of silver?

Your workshop includes up to 5g of sterling silver, which covers most rings. Bigger or chunkier designs can need a little more. Any extra is charged at around $12–$15 per gram, depending on the silver price at the time.

Can I make two rings in one class?

Yes, just let me know during class. The extra silver is charged after class, once I see the size of your piece, and can be paid in cash or by bank transfer.

I've done the class before. Can I come back?

Yes, as many times as you like. Message @eliza.tjewelry and I'll arrange a returning-maker session with you directly.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer or credit card. Card payments include a small processing fee, and you'll see the full total before you book.

Cancellation & rescheduling

Cancel 72+ hours before class: full refund. Within 72 hours (including the day): 40% refund. Can't make it? Move to another date instead.
