Part of the fun and excitement of making your own wedding or engagement rings is customization, so you can select materials and styles that are perfect for you. Different styles require different amounts of time and effort to create.
I have summarized the prices for the most popular options for both wedding bands and engagement rings here. Unless otherwise noted, workshop prices do not include materials, and are subject to change.
Materials options - estimated *
*Prices are based on 3mm and 5mm rings. Wider rings will be more, narrower rings will cost less. Gold and Palladium prices have skyrocketed in 2020, causing the high material costs. Platinum prices are currently reasonable.
Workshop additions and subtractions - length of workshop, rush fee, etc.
Design options - liner, inlay, twisted, etc.
