What Can I Expect
Make your own wedding rings in Brighton! Bespoke, tailor-made wedding bands designed and crafted by you for you, to make your Big Day extra special.
With the help of Brighton-based jewellery maker Beth Chaplin, the two of you will be creating your two silver wedding rings using the lost wax method. This ancient method of making and casting metal jewellery is a very traditional and creative way to make your wedding rings.
As an experienced and talented jeweller, Beth loves keeping specialist craft traditions alive. Lost wax jewellery starts with carving your piece out of special blocks of jeweller's wax. This is where you, as a couple engaged to be married, get to make your dream wedding bands come true.
Using traditional tools, you will be carving into the wax to create textures and your personalised design. It's a rather relaxing and calming craft and Beth promises all guests that absolutely no previous experience is necessary, so there's no stress!
The pair of you will spend around two hours with Beth, carving, forming and shaping the wedding bands you want. Some couples create matching pairs, others set about making each other's ring. It's your personal workshop time, so the tutoring is entirely bespoke to you.
When you've completed your wax rings, Beth will do the rest. The clever process takes a few weeks and involves creating a mould and then pouring in molten silver to cast the rings. The rings will emerge somewhat rough and ready, but Beth will do all the finishing and polishing in her Brighton studio to complete your duo of sparkling silver wedding rings.
A great gift to give each other, or a couple you know who is getting married, we think making your own wedding rings in Brighton with Beth is a fantastic experience. And you'll feel as proud as punch when the moment comes in the ceremony to place the ring on their finger! Buy your lost wax wedding ring making experience voucher for two now.
