Ancient Bronze?  Sterling Silver? Because of the fluctuation of metal prices, the cost will fluctuate. If you are booking 1 - 2 people you pay me directly for your metal once you have finished. If you are booking 3 or more persons, silver needs to be purchased from Mountain Gems in advance or on the day. 

Adding stones? Semi precious and precious stones can be purchased from Mountain Gems in advance or on the class day, You can also purchase some from me directly in the class but I do not have the selection & expertise of Mountain Gems. Please email me for more information if you would like to use your own stones. 

Prefer Gold? The gold market is very volatile and expensive. Please email for more information. 

Unfortunately I cannot accept used or recycled metal in the studio for your project. Please email for more information.

How long is the class?  For one person and one ring expect up to 3 to 4 hours including sawing, sanding and polishing. For 2-4 people expect around 4 to maximum of 6 hours including sawing, sanding and polishing.
