5 Reasons on Why You Should Join a Wedding Ring Workshop in Lisbon
So, you’ve found the one. You’ve laughed together, cried together, assembled IKEA furniture without breaking up (the ultimate compatibility test). Now it’s time for the next big step: the rings.
But why settle for a store-bought band when you could make your own in a real, live, fire-and-hammer workshop? At Hands On, we believe wedding rings should be as unique as your relationship and what better way to seal the deal than by forging your love in actual gold?
No, really. We’re talking about fire 🔥
Let’s talk about why crafting your own wedding rings in a class is the most romantic, slightly chaotic, and wildly memorable thing you can do before the “I do.”
1. The most romantic bonding experience that involves hammers
Nothing says true love like wielding tiny metal tools next to each other while whispering, “please don’t melt my ring.” Our wedding ring workshops is perfect for couples who want to add a little drama (and we mean theatrical, not toxic) to their love story.
You’ll learn to measure, cut, solder, shape and polish your rings while side-eyeing each other to see who’s secretly the better metalsmith.
2. Make gold memories (not just rings)
Sure, you could walk into a jewelry store and pick a ring off a velvet tray. But will that ring remind you of the time your fiancé accidentally set their sleeve on fire in the a workshop?
Exactly.
These classes are packed with memorable moments: your initials etched into each other’s rings, your partner’s intense concentration face, the sense of satisfaction as you polish your golden masterpiece. It’s DIY with a glow-up.
3. Fully custom rings, just like your relationship
No two couples are alike, so why should your rings be? In our workshops, you can decide everything: the shape, texture, engraving and that very specific shade of gold your Pinterest board has been screaming about for months.
Maybe you want matte finish with hand-filed edges. Maybe you want matching rings with secret messages inside. Maybe you want to channel your inner blacksmith and pretend you’re forging the One Ring to rule them all (zero judgment).
Your rings. Your rules.
4. It’s surprisingly calming. For real.
With wedding planning being an Olympic sport involving budgets, seating charts and heated arguments about napkin colors, this class is a blissful escape.
There’s something deeply soothing about slowing down, working with your hands and watching a shiny gold band take shape under your touch. It’s kind of like couples therapy, except at the end, you get to keep the jewelry.
5. You’ll have the best story ever
Imagine this:
Stranger: “Oh wow, your ring is gorgeous! Where did you get it?”
You (smirking): “Oh, we made it ourselves. In a workshop. With torches and anvils.”
Not only do you walk away with rings, you walk away with bragging rights and a shared experience that beats “we picked them off a spreadsheet.”
Ready to make magic (and metal)?
