DIY Life

Couples can now make their own (or probably each others) wedding rings. It used to be that you'd choose between buying something ready-made from the store, or having a jeweler custom-make one for you. Now there is another option: design and craft your own.

This innovative concept by New York Wedding Ring is offered in both their New York and San Francisco studios. Each step, from design to final touches, will be under the guidance and supervision of a professional jeweler. You don't need any prior metal arts experience, or any real understanding of jewelry. Most designs can be completed in a one day workshop. More complicated plans may require an extra day. This would be a really fun workshop to take together.

They also offer engagement ring workshops. Just imagine how impressed she'll be when you propose with a ring that you crafted personally just for her.
