Couldn't load pickup availability
In small groups of 4–8 people you will be supported and guided through the process of making your own wax ring. The workshop takes place in our studio in Altstetten and lasts about 3 hours. After the workshop we cast the ring in silver and finish it up for you. So two to three weeks later you will receive your finished ring.

How it works
We work with a wax ring of 8 mm width, you can also work with a wider one (see below signet ring wide). The design is completely up to you and your skill level. If you want, you can bring some inspiration pictures or also have a look at our example rings at the workshop. On our instagram you can find some rings that were created in past workshops. We provide you with all the necesseray instruction, help and tools.

Material
Material
We work exclusively with recycled silver, recycled brass and plate the pieces with recycled gold. The entire production takes place in Switzerland and we work with long-term partners and small manufacturers in Zurich, Schaffhausen and Lucerne.
Gold plating:
We gold plate the rings with a 5 micron coating, which is thicker than the usual fashion jewellery, but with gold plating it is always the case that the coating will wear off over time. The good news is that the ring can always be gold plated again, so please contact us if your ring needs to be refreshed.
Delivery time
Delivery time
Silver: After the workshop we will cast the ring and finish it professionally within 15 days.
Gold: The gold plated rings take a little longer, we need 25 working days for casting, processing and coating.
