EXPERIENCE DAY
Real life couple...
Albert & Arantza
Albert & Arantza made each other a textured silver wedding ring.
Using different hammers they created a unique pattern on the rings to perfectly meet their partners preferences.
The rings were then engraved inside with their initials & wedding date.
See below for more details on how to make your own wedding rings & bridal party gifts...

Silver Sample Ring
In order to demonstrate techniques
I will show you how to make a
silver sample ring before working on your actual wedding rings.
You can also practise texturing & finishes on this ring prior to committing them to your own wedding rings.
You will be able to take the
silver sample ring home with you as a memento of the day. This sample ring will not be hallmarked.
Tools
You will be shown how to use all of the
hand tools & polishing wheel prior to you trying it yourself.
Don't worry if you've never used these tools before; they are basic & easy to use.
Unfortunately due to insurance restrictions you will not be able to use the
hand torch for soldering.
Light Refreshments
Throughout the day there will be a steady supply of drinks & nibbles.
We will take a one hour lunch break when you are free to venture into town to sample Chesham's cafes or restaurants.

sourced treats from other businesses
I want to recommend to you.
Enjoy when you get home
(or earlier if you can't wait)!
Hallmarking
Wedding rings will be hallmarked with the
Rosalyn's Emporium 'RE' maker's mark
at the
London Assay Office.
View the
FAQ's and T&C's
page for more information about hallmarking.
Disabled Access
Regrettably due to the workshop being on the first floor I cannot offer
disabled access at present.
Please discuss any mobility concerns with me & I will do my best to accommodate
your individual needs.
Some of the jewellery tools are portable so there may be an option for me to come to your home for part of the making process.
Wedding Ring Box
You will receive one handmade
leather jewellery box
embossed with the
Rosalyn's Emporium logo.
Each box can accommodate
one or two wedding rings depending
on what you make.
The insert can be removed so the box can be used to keep other precious items in once you are wearing the wedding rings.
Please also read the Frequently Asked Questions and Terms & Conditions on the
FAQ's and T&C's

For the same price your engagement ring can be rhodium plated if you would like to freshen it up ready for your wedding day.
Note that it is normal for plating to wear off over time & you may want to consider replating annually to refresh your rings.
I am happy to do this for you for the same cost as above.

Stones can be set in plain, simply shaped wedding rings that you've made yourself after the experience day.
Stones & setting can cost from
a minimum of £85 per stone.
I will personally choose stones for you
from my Hatton Garden gem stone dealers, ensuring we use the best stones for
your budget & design.
If you want something more complicated then it may need to be treated as a
bespoke commission.
I will advise you if I think any element of your wedding ring design will need to be completed outside of your experience day.
Recycle Jewellery
Existing hallmarked gold jewellery can be melted down, re-formed & used again.
Stones can be removed &
reset into new pieces.
Depending on the amount of gold you want to recycle & what you want to make this can be used in full for the new item or
additional gold added to it.
If you simply just want money for your recycled jewellery I can also arrange
this for you by sending your items to my bullion dealers.
I charge a £20 admin &
special delivery postage charge for this.
The remaining money will be returned to you. Gold prices change daily so I can advise you at the time of an estimated value once the weight & gold carat of the jewellery is confirmed.
