Forge Your Own Wedding Bands – Create Unique Wedding Bands Together

Forging your own wedding rings is much more than just a goldsmithing class. It’s a shared experience in which precious metal and skilled craftsmanship come together to create two rings that will accompany you for a lifetime.

At Goldschmiede Wiesner, you’ll forge your wedding rings under the personal guidance of master goldsmith Markus Wiesner. No prior experience is necessary. Step by step, we’ll guide you from the initial design to the finished ring—using professional tools, high-quality precious metals, and plenty of time to accommodate your individual wishes.

Whether you choose classic gold rings, platinum, or the extraordinary Japanese forging technique known as Mokume Gane —together, we’ll create wedding rings that are as unique as your story.

Why forge your own wedding rings?

Many couples don’t just want to buy their wedding rings—they want to design and craft them themselves. Forging them together makes the creation process a part of your own love story.

While industrially manufactured wedding rings are produced in large quantities, a forging workshop results in a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Every hammer strike, every step of the process, and every surface finish is the result of your own handiwork.

The result is not only personalized wedding rings, but also memories of a special day that will be with you every time you wear your rings.

How does a blacksmithing class work?

Each blacksmithing class is individually tailored and personally supervised.

Personal Consultation

We’ll start by discussing your preferences. Together, we’ll select the ring width, profile, materials, and, if desired, diamonds or engravings.

Preparing the Materials

Next, we prepare the precious metal for further processing. During this process, we’ll explain each step and demonstrate how to safely handle the goldsmithing tools.

Forging Your Wedding Rings

Now the actual forging process begins. You’ll shape, forge, solder, file, and finish your own rings—always under professional guidance, of course.

Surface and Finish

Finally, your wedding rings receive their final surface finish. Whether matte, polished, or with a custom texture—you decide how your rings should look.

What Materials Are Available?

Various precious metals can be used for your wedding rings.

Depending on your preference, we can craft your rings from

• yellow gold

• white gold

• rose gold

• platinum

• palladium

• or as unique Mokume-Gane wedding bands made from a combination of precious metals.

Together, we’ll help you decide which combination of materials best suits your vision.

Do you need any prior knowledge?

No.

Our metalworking courses are specifically designed for couples with no prior crafting experience.

Master goldsmith Markus Wiesner will guide you throughout the day and explain every single step of the process. This allows even beginners to create high-quality, durable wedding rings on their own.
