Frequently Asked Questions

  • We have a group of over six. Can you accommodate us?

    Please contact us directly so we can accommodate your group. 

  • What is your typical workshop schedule?

    We normally have mid week workshops at 12pm,3pm and 6:30pm ( Thursday is slightly later time of 1pm,4pm and 7pm ) weekends 10am,1pm,4pm and 7pm on Saturdays

  • Can one of our group do the Forge a Ring Workshop and one of us do the Charm Workshop?

    Unfortunately not, as they are two very different procedures so they require two separate workshops that need two separate teachers.

  • I don’t like the thickness of the band, can I make my ring thinner or thicker?

    We offer a standard 4mm size band in the classes but if you would like a 3mm, 5mm or 6mm you can select this on a check out for an additional cost.

  • I have a beautiful stone I would like to set it in the ring, can I?

    Unfortunately gem setting can be quite skilled work and is not something that we can cover in our 2-hour workshops. However, if you can either send us a photo by email or bring it along with you, we can provide you with a quote. We have some fabulous setters who can almost definitely do this for you. It takes around 4 weeks to get this set.

  • Can you get me a stone and set it for me?

    Yes! Simply send us an email with the stone and dimensions you would like and we can get you a quote. Leave your ring with us after the workshop and we will get it done for you. Stone setting normally takes 4 weeks on top of finding the stone for you.

  • Do you offer personalised engraving?

    Yes, it’s €30 – it takes approximately 48 Hours mid-week and up to 72 hours at the weekend. Alternatively, if you need it shipped, it would either be €10 (within Ireland) to €15 – €20 (outside of Ireland) depending on where you live. Please note that it is at Owner’s Own Risk for items to be posted. We cannot accept responsibility for lost items once we leave them in our courier’s hands. We do all we can to but once they are gone to post, there is nothing further we can do. Engraving can be paid for on check out, or It can also be decided on the day of your workshop and paid for then.

  • Do you offer a gold-plating service?

    Yes, it’s €30 for a 14-21 day service turnaround. You can add this on at check out, or simply let your teacher know and they will organise this for you. Postage is extra- see above.

  • Is the venue accessible

    Unfortunately, no. As both of our studios are located in very old and beautiful period buildings, we have lots of stairs and are therefore not accessible for people with impaired mobility.
