Something nice about making your spouse's ring yourself. Doesn't look that hard. I bet I could do it with my own pliers and the gas burner on the stove!

I thought this would be really cool for our "engagement ceremony", which in his culture has to happen before the wedding, in all it's official splendor, so I asked if i was getting another e-ring. Shot down. But maybe these do-it-yourself rings will be significant and we can have some sort of memory all in one...

We've gone to Italy for cooking classes, so why not London or Edinburgh for ring making? ~~~~~~~~~~ There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have a clear conscience or none at all.

researcher Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,440 Last Post: 5/26/2008 Member Since: 4/27/2004	Isn't this a great idea? I wonder how much it costs though, and how much of the process you actually do yourself. One of the best things though is you can decide on the spot whether it's a good fit, whether you want it a little thinner, etc. I'll post more info as soon as I get it (such as cost)!

You make each other's rings, then the stones are set for you! Also, there's an Open House on Thursday, August 5 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. A little wine and cheese and a couple of demos of the actual making process. You are requested to RSVP. Lewis

No secrets. The cost is shown on the website. Because precious metal fluctuates in price, the one shown is the one you pay if you book within 48 hours, regardless of how long after that you actually enjoy the Wedding Ring Experience. Lewis

You can get a quote by submitting your design (e-mail is good) or visiting and discussing (by appointment and without commitment) beforehand. Lewis

boonerings Cut Rock Total Posts: 157 Last Post: 8/30/2009 Member Since: 10/31/2003	That looks like a great idea! Sometimes I have people drive in from out of town to watch their rings being made at my place or to hand deliver their hard earned diamond. It is really a huge deal to nearly all of them seeing their own ring start from a chunk of raw billet and see all the steps it goes through to final product. They really get a kick out of it. I imagine the thrill would be even better to have them make it themselves with expert supervision. Very neat idea. Bruce Boone Boone Titanium Rings www.boonerings.com

Should be interesting to see how much you actually participate in the process! Oh, and you're just now wishing you lived in California? It's so beautiful here I haven't been able to live anywhere else for more than a few months!
