The challenges facing jewellery workshops
The ring workshop books two benches at once
One couple, two stations, a day. Recorded as a single sign-up, it leaves a bench apparently free that somebody else books.
Bespoke work starts with a consultation
An hour to understand the project, the metal, the budget. It is neither the duration nor the price of a workshop, and it does not book into the same slot.
The materials deposit gets taken at booking
Gold is bought before the workshop, and it does not go back. A cancellation without a deposit leaves the metal on the workshop's hands.
The project gets described before the appointment
Type of piece, metal, budget, deadline. Those four answers are worth twenty minutes of appointment, and they are given very well in a form.
A wedding date does not move
The ring has to be ready beforehand, and making has its lead times. The appointment gets booked months ahead, or it is no longer any use.

Practical guide: Jewellery workshops
- Each bench is a resource. The couples workshop books two, and the diary knows it.
- The consultation as a free or low-priced service, bookable on its own. It is what sells the commission.
- The materials deposit at booking. It corresponds to a real purchase, and it explains itself very well.
- A "type of piece, metal, budget, date wanted" field when the appointment is made.
- A booking horizon open far ahead on ring workshops: couples plan six months out.
- A reminder a week before, with the real length of the day and what to expect.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a "make your own wedding rings" workshop cost in the UK?
Around £500 to £1,200 for a pair in silver or 9ct gold including materials and a full day, and more in 18ct or platinum. Set your own prices.
What applies to selling precious metal jewellery in the UK?
Hallmarking, and it is a criminal matter rather than a formality. Under the Hallmarking Act 1973 it is an offence to describe an article as gold, silver, platinum or palladium in the course of trade unless it carries a UK hallmark, struck by one of the four assay offices — London, Birmingham, Sheffield or Edinburgh — above the exemption weights for each metal, which are low. You need a registered sponsor's mark of your own. Trading Standards enforce, and pieces made by a customer in your workshop and sold or described by you are caught the same way. You must also display the Dealer's Notice explaining hallmarks. Add the money laundering rules that apply to high-value dealers accepting large cash payments.
How do I book two benches for a couple?
By declaring each bench as a resource: the couples workshop takes two.
Can I offer a free consultation?
Yes, as a £0 or low-priced service, bookable on its own.
Can I ask for a materials deposit?
Yes, with the terms shown before payment.
Can I collect the project before the appointment?
Yes, with custom fields.
