Frequently Asked Questions

Price depends on the workshop you book!

For our Standard Workshop (Sterling Silver), the cost of one piece depends on its final weight:

• 0–5 grams: $120

• 6–10 grams: $140

• 11–15 grams: $160

• 16–20 grams: $180

• 21–25 grams: $200

Each piece is weighed and priced on its own — weights are not combined across multiple pieces.

Gemstones are priced individually. Setting 1–2 gemstones is free. There is a $15 setting fee for 3–4 gemstones.

For our Wedding Band Workshop (gold), pricing is a flat fee covering 2 wedding bands and a private workshop. It depends on karat, gemstones, and design. Book a consultation call to get a quote.

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. You'll be guided step-by-step through the entire process — from carving your design in wax to pouring the molten metal and finishing your piece. Our instructors are there to help you every step of the way, so no prior silversmithing or jewelry-making experience is needed.

Just yourself and a willingness to create! We provide all the tools, materials, and safety equipment you'll need.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting a little dirty

• Closed-toe shoes are required for safety

• Long hair should be tied back

• Avoid loose-fitting sleeves or dangling jewelry

Feel free to bring a water bottle and any inspiration photos of designs you'd like to recreate!

Standard Workshop: A group session where you'll make one sterling silver piece. Open to public booking.

Wedding Band Workshop: A private experience for couples making their wedding bands together. You'll make two rings in gold (10K, 14K, or 18K). We'll work with you to source specific gemstones if desired. Includes extra time and one-on-one guidance. Book by scheduling a consultation call.

Both are available by appointment only.

Standard silver workshops typically take 2–3 hours. Wedding band workshops run 3–4 hours. Both depend on how quickly you carve and finish your piece.

Rings and pendants are our specialty! Using the sandcasting technique your options are basically unlimited! Head to our Instagram to see what other customers have made! @castedrings

You will create 90% of your jewelry and your instructor will be involved in 10% of the process. We're committed to allowing you to confidently say that you were the one that made your jewelry.

We source all gemstones for you to ensure they're suitable for our process. We only offer flush-set, cast-in-place gemstones — the stones are placed into the sand mold and cast directly into the metal during pouring.

Because the casting process involves extreme heat, stones must be at least an 8 on the Mohs hardness scale. Suitable stones include: Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Garnets, and most synthetic gemstones.

If you'd like to check a specific gemstone yourself, look up its Mohs hardness rating online — if it's 8 or higher, it should be suitable. If the rating is under 8, or if it's a softer or porous stone with inclusions, it will not survive the casting process.

If you're interested in a specific gemstone and want to see if we have it in stock, please message us.

For our standard workshop, we primarily use sterling silver. We do also offer gold, but because we don't always have it in stock, email us at least 7 days in advance at support@castedrings.com so we can make sure we have some for you. Expect prices 10–30x more expensive than our silver option (depending on karat).

For our wedding band workshop, we work exclusively in gold — rose, yellow, and white gold in your choice of 10K, 14K, or 18K.

For quality and safety reasons, we aren't able to accept outside metal or gemstones. We can't guarantee the purity of the metal, and certain gemstones may be at risk of discoloration or damage during the process. Certain exceptions may be made for our wedding band workshop.

Unfortunately, we do not offer engravings at this time, but there are still lots of possibilities with what you can do with your ring!

You can cancel or reschedule your workshop with at least 24 hours notice using the link in your confirmation email.

A flat $15 no-show fee applies if you do not show up to your appointment.
