An evening or morning in Florence with a personal touch

When you picture Florence, you probably think of stunning art, beautiful architecture, and a romantic vibe—adding to that the experience of making your own wedding rings makes it even more special. This workshop is designed to be intimate, giving you the chance to really engage in the craft and have a tangible keepsake of your time in Italy.

What makes this experience stand out is its focus on hands-on creation. It’s not a passive tour or demonstration but a real workshop where you become the artisan. Florencia, the jewelry designer behind it, brings a wealth of experience—her family’s jewelry background, her education in industrial design from Buenos Aires, and her advanced goldsmith training in Florence all shine through in her patient, clear guidance.

The location on the 1st Floor, Lab 12, in the historic Convent, adds a charming, authentic Florentine feel. It’s a quiet, inspiring space where you can focus and enjoy the process without feeling rushed. The group size is private, which means you’ll have Florencia’s full attention, making it easier to ask questions or explore your ideas.

What to Expect: The Creation Process

The workshop kicks off with a brief introduction where Florencia explains the process step-by-step. You’ll have the chance to choose the model and style of your rings—whether you prefer simple bands or something with more detail. If you already have an idea or reference images, bringing them along can help guide the design.

During the 2.5 hours, Florencia will guide you through each stage, from selecting the metal to shaping and polishing your rings. It’s a process that can be as straightforward or as detailed as you like. If you have precise designs in mind, bringing a real-size sketch helps ensure the final product matches your vision.

The base price covers everything you need to make rings in sterling silver, which is a great option if you’re after something durable but affordable. For gold, you can either bring your own or opt to recycle your existing gold, with pricing based on the weight of the material. This flexibility is handy, especially if you or your partner want to incorporate a special piece of jewelry or family gold.

After facing the pandemic’s challenges and having two children, Florencia turned her passion into her business.

Her background and hands-on approach make her an ideal guide for anyone keen to learn and create in a supportive environment.
