FAQs
Not at first - we will book in a consultation and during this time we will go through my ring samples and take detailed measurements.
Sometimes there is more for you to make decisions on following a consultation but I can provide a number of quotes for different options if required.
Once the materials for the rings are ordered they can not be refunded so once the basic ring shape / size / material is confirmed you can not change your mind unless it's still working within those materials, or you wish to pay for more. Some decisions such as engraving / stone setting can be added after the rings are made but if they are not wide or deep enough in the first place this might still not be possible.
I try to remain as flexible as I can to each clients wishes but I only order what's needed for you so on the day we can not add more gold for example.
The workshop is a real life workshop so I have tools / potentially dangerous things around. Clients have been able to bring children or pets to a consultation but for a days workshop they are not allowed. There are too many distractions, risks and no outside space accessible to allow them to roam.
Yes - although there can be restrictions so if you have your own jewellery you wish to recycle and use it's best to bring them to a consultation so they can be assessed, weighed and measured to check suitability for making into something new.
Recycling is a very specialised topic so best to contact for advice: rosalynsemporium@gmail.com
The workshop is in Chesham, Buckinghamshire (not Manchester)
It's based in an old watch and jewellery factory so steeped in history and a lovely, welcoming place to be.
The workshop is by appointment only so you can not just turn up and gain access. Please email rosalynsemporium@gmail.com to arrange a mutually convenient consultation date / time.
No. In fact I prefer people to have no experience because it means I can take you through the whole process.
I have over 24 years experience making bespoke jewellery and over 8 years of teaching Make Your Own rings workshops so plenty of experience with all capabilities. I'll be there the whole time and you have a silver sample ring to practice on before making your own rings. You have a full day in the workshop just for you so it is relaxed and unrushed. Most couples have said apart from their wedding day it's their favourite part of wedding planning.
£540 inc vat for the experience day itself. This covers a one day workshop for up to 2 people.
You then pay for materials / finishing touches per ring. This varies for each ring so tailored quotes will be given once we've had a consultation and established what you want to make. If you have a budet in mind please also tell me so I can advise what's possible within that. You are not charged anything until you agree materials / exactly what's to be made. Then a 50% non-refundable deposit is requested before your specific materials are ordered for you.
