Hosted by award winning jewellers Milena Kovanovic (Crucible London) & Ros Millar and The Ringsmiths team.  In this direct casting method, molten metal directly fills a design carved/imprinted into the surface of a cuttlebone. Producing a finished three-dimensional cast object - in this case a signet ring. This technique is one of the earliest known casting processes used by man for thousands of years.

Over the course of this 4 hour workshop we will teach you everything you need to know about how to prepare and cast your very own silver signet ring. You will have plenty of opportunity to practice and test out this variable technique which is safe, fast and versatile.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and more advanced students. 

Each student will be provided with an apron, though we ask you to please wear suitable non- loose clothing (as you would for any other semi-messy art form). For health and safety we also recommend close toed shoes.

With a maximum of six people in any one class, there will be plenty of opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the jewellers. The workshop will take place in The Ringsmiths studio at the iconic Oxo Tower Wharf on the River Thames.

We had the nicest day taking part in the signet ring making class, which I purchased the class as a gift for my partner's birthday. The class was super hands on and intimate – we felt like we really got the time to try out everything and learn from Ros and Milena and the space is lovely. We were super happy with the results of our labours too! Thanks again x

Jenny  Reid

The workshop was great! Such a fun way to spend a day.  I loved learning how to make the ring and also getting creative choosing design, jewels and metal type.  Would highly recommend as a present or something to do with friends.

We had such a great time at the Ringsmiths - everything was explained very well and we had a lot of fun whilst doing it, highly recommend! 

Sophie Bird

I had such a great time on this course and would 100% recommend it to anyone who wanted to try making some jewellery, or just wanted to try something new! The teachers were amazingly supportive and true experts in their craft. The location is perfect also, being so central, and the studio space itself is nice and intimate.  I will absolutely be booking another class in the future. Thank you so much The Ringsmiths! 

David McManus

The day was so fun and everyone was amazingly helpful, and we made some really nice and unique rings. Can't recommend enough

Esther  Binnie

My partner and I had an amazing time at the workshop. Everyone was lovely and helpful. We were given multiple attempts to get the right rings and are so pleased with the outcome. Can’t wait to collect them. 

Ahmed Chohan 

Honestly amazing, the team were absolutely wonderful from start to finish, giving the right amount of instruction and supervision without just doing everything for you.
Super friendly with a remarkably cute dog too!

Carl Timehin

A great workshop for anyone looking to add or start their ring collection. The teachers were great! Very clear and informative, making sure we all came out with a ring we were happy with. Would 100% recommend everyone try it out, it is fun and accessible for all, and you don't need to be Picasso to create an amazing piece.

Ben Beckett

Great course, really enjoyed it. Lovely people running it and came away with something really nice.

A fun experience for all, you don't need to be a professionally trained jeweler to make a work art! Everything is explained well, so you are prepared to create your vision! Would highly recommend if you are a lover of rings and handmade items.

Amy Welch

Was an amazing day casting a signet it was for an anniversary present and we both loved it highly highly recommend to anyone!! Can’t wait to come back xxx

Emma Seto

This class was a lot of fun, I didn’t realize how many steps were involved and all the instructors were extremely kind and welcoming. I enjoyed the hands-on class and ended up purchasing an additional ring as well. I loved the uniqueness of the process and how my rings turned out. I definitely would recommend and want to come again the next time I visit London! 

Edward O’Hanlon

My partner and I had the best time, the girls were all lovely and made our whole experience really enjoyable! I’m sure we will be back soon! 

Sorsha Roberts

I booked this as an anniversary present for me and my partner and we had a great time. We both really enjoyed the whole process of casting our own ring with this traditional method, and the people running the course were very friendly, and incredibly patient when I kept pouring the molten silver inaccurately (got there in the end with some great support!) We both love our finished rings - such special things to own!

Dawn  Wilson

Absolutely incredible! The Ringsmiths ladies are so helpful and friendly. They walk you through each step and helped with what you needed.  After seeing how we would make a ring I did doubt my abilities and their guarantee that we would each leave with a ring. But I didn’t need to worry, they know their stuff and we each made a work of art. I loved this workshop and would do it again! Thank you ladies, hope to visit again one day. ❤️

Rachel Kay

What a fantastic workshop! So well organised, lots of fun and a ring to take home at the end of it. Highly recommended as a treat for yourself/ a gift for someone else/ an activity with friends. Thank you so much!

This was an amazing experience for my partner and I! We really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone! It is such a fun experience!  

Richard Hart

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the expertise from the talented ladies leading the session. A truly fascinating insight into the process of silversmithing and in a traditional cuttlefish mold process. We both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and whilst we are still awaiting our final product (we decided to engrave and have stone additions), it’s something we mention quite frequently to friends and we simply cannot wait to get our final products! Thank you so very much to the lovey ladies - we’ll definitely be looking to book again to make our 10 year anniversary rings! 

Ian Cameron

Really enjoyable and fun class. The team are very helpful and make the whole process exciting 

Joseph Harris

Super friendly, super helpful and very informative

I had a wonderful time making a signet ring using a cuttlefish mould. Brilliant teachers - it felt like we got to do a huge amount in the 4 hours and came away with a lovely ring! Thank you! 

Adrienne Khachatourian

Had such a great day learning another new skill! This is the second ring making class I've done with the Ringsmiths (I've also done the 'design your own silver ring') and thoroughly enjoyed it and super happy with my final ring. The venue near the Oxo Tower is lovely and meeting Pepper the dog was a bonus. Thoroughly recommend this class for value for money and knowledge from the Ringsmiths. Class size was perfect!

Dan Coleman

Had an amazing day getting to make and cast my own signet ring with The Ringsmiths, can’t recommend enough as a gift for yourself  or for a friend/family member. The whole workshop was accommodating, fun and informative from the beginning through to the end. Thanks so much again!

The workshop was fun and they were very sweet and helpful! My partner and I made beautiful rings and we love them a lot!! 

Francesca Lean

Really enjoyed the course - Milena was really friendly and a very good teacher, and I’m amazed at how well the rings I made turned out. Would definitely recommend! 

Jed Ashman

Very friendly and skilful teachers! We had a lot of fun 

Melanie Sheehan

I attended a 'make a silver ring' workshop at the new venue near the Oxo Tower, and it was great - the workspace was light, bright and spacious; Ros and Milena were patient and engaging teachers and the whole morning was informative, well-organised and fun.  I wasn't sure it was possible to make a decent ring in 2.5hrs as a complete novice, but we actually finished earlier and had time for prosecco and cupcakes!  I'm absolutely delighted with my ring, and will definitely book on to the other workshops with The Ringsmiths - highly recommended.

Celia Fraser 

Lovely way to spend an afternoon. Great teachers and beautiful rings to take home. Best way to get a ring which will truly fit you, and have long lasting significance. 

Rrita Recica

Took my mum here for her birthday and we had the best time! The girls were so friendly and helpful - great at their craft and patient in explaining it all to us. Plus we both love our rings dearly. Highly recommend!

Lauren  Wyatt

Recently my boyfriend and I did the make your own silver ring workshop at the oxo tower location. First off, the venue itself was lovely with the work stations being well organised and ready for us. The teachers were very involved in the process; always on hand to help if needed. They would go through a demo for each step and then we would complete it independently (teachers on hand for any help or questions). Overall, the making process was really fun and satisfying. We learnt lots of techniques that our teachers informed us are important in a variety of jewellery making. There is a big emphasis on ensuring that you leave happy with the fit of your ring, with the teachers checking our sizing and also offering to resize any that did not fit. Also, when our rings were being polished we were offered refreshments which was a lovely touch. Personally, I would highly recommend this workshop we found that it was a fun way to create a keepsake for our 3 year anniversary. Thank you! 

Berenice Grimshaw

The class was a wonderful birthday gift for my girlfriend. The location was perfect and easy to get to, the hosts were welcoming and extremely helpful through the whole process. We couldn’t be happier with our rings and would recommend to anyone! :)

Emma Alker
