What should I expect at my first gem workshop? We are very well known for our handmade jewelry making workshops. One of our expert silversmiths will lead you and your party through a 3 hour workshop where we’ll help you design and create your jewelry from scratch with the same materials that you’d find at your local jeweler. (Be sure to bring some water and pre-packed snacks) Most people make rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings (They also like to complete the look with permanent jewelry) But, we also have masculine and alternative options like inlay rings, bolo ties, cuff links, key chains, and pet collars. We often have kids under 13, adults over 65, and everyone in between. (If someone in your party wears reading glasses, please remind them to bring them) The price is $75 + the gem you choose + any optional additions you choose. The typical price is between $125-$150. We also have great options if you are more budget conscious. (The prices at our Waikiki and Irvine location start at a $95 base cost) Family/friends typically book a workshop for a fun get-together, a date, a birthday party, and other special occasions. We are reservation based so you will need to book in advance to ensure that you can reserve enough spots for you and your party.

What is the quality of the jewelry? We’ll help you design and create your jewelry from scratch with the same materials that you’d find at your local jeweler. We use .925 sterling silver and semi-precious gems. Everyone always says that it’s now their favorite piece of jewelry because it’s high-quality, beautiful, AND they’re proud because they made it with their own hands.

What should I bring? Please have people in your group bring their reading glasses if they typically use them for up-close tasks (We will help with as much as is necessary) Be sure to bring water and small pre-packaged snacks.

How involved will I be in making the jewelry? You will create about 30% of your jewelry and your silversmith will create about 70%. Why?

• Our silversmiths are trained and do this all the time

• We want you to be happy with the final product

• .925 sterling silver is VERY expensive an we need to minimize waste

• Safety and liability

What if I am not very creative or good with my hands? You are not alone. Most of our clients have never done something like this before. Our highly skilled and trained silversmiths will help you create a beautiful piece of jewelry that you’ll love and be proud of.

What if I do not wear jewelry? No worries! You can make a key chain, pet collars, or make a gift for someone.

Do you have neutral or masculine options? Yes―You can choose from these options: Inlay rings, bolo ties, cuff links, key chains, and pet collars.

Can I bring my own gem? It kinda depends. We will only work on cabochon cut gemstones and our team will have to inspect the stone to ensure that we think we can work with it since we've had MANY experiences with outside stones cracking, crumbling etc. We will not take the risk of working with any stones that are important to you or have been passed down through your family due to the high risk of damage throughout the jewelry creation process. If we determine that we can use it, a $15 stone setting fee will be applied.
