Forge your own
silver ring

A single evening at the bench, a working silversmith at your side, and a sterling silver ring that leaves on your finger. No experience. No two alike.

Handmade hammered sterling silver ring by PLAI
The experience

Not a class you watch.
A ring you make.

PLAI began as a Cambridge silversmithing studio. We open our bench to you for an evening — and you walk out having turned a raw strip of silver into something you'll wear for years.

  • I
    Real metal, real tools

    You saw, solder, hammer and file solid sterling silver on a jeweller's bench — the same craft, the same tools we use every day.

  • II
    One smith, small groups

    Never more than eight makers, always a working silversmith beside you. You're guided, not lectured.

  • III
    Yours forever, out the door

    You leave the same evening wearing a ring you forged — sized to your finger, finished the way you like.

Makers

They came to make a ring. They left with a story.

★★★★★

We made each other's wedding bands here. Three hours, and now we wear something we forged with our own hands. Nothing store-bought comes close.

Booked it for my sister's hen do. They brought the whole studio to our flat. Twelve of us, twelve rings, zero mess. Genuinely unforgettable.

PriyaLondon
★★★★★

I'm not a crafty person. I walked out with a ring I'd have happily paid triple for in a shop — because I made it. Book it.

Good to know

Questions, answered

None at all. Most of our makers have never touched a jeweller's bench before. We guide you through every step, and you'll surprise yourself.
