Goldsmithing workshop
You don't have to look any further for the coolest workshop in Breda. Happy Hippies has the most original and fun workshop in Breda… Goldsmithing!
We are not talking about the dusty image of the old jeweler. No, it's hip and fresh. In approximately 1.5 hours (2 hours extended variant) you will become acquainted with one of the coolest crafts there is. You will be working with real precious metal, namely .925 silver or 14k gold. You can choose from various real gemstones and process them into a beautiful ring or pendant. Ultimately, there is also the option of gold-plating your silver jewelry with a thick layer of 14k gold.

Standard Workshop
During the standard workshop you will make a beautiful silver, gold-plated or 14k gold ring with a gemstone under the guidance of our goldsmith. You will learn to solder, stamp, polish and set, among other things. Everyone makes the same design, but you are free to choose your gemstone (agate, moonstone, onyx, etc.). You can make your choice based on which stone you like, but you can also choose the meaning of the gemstone.
-
Extensive workshop
During the extensive workshop you will do quite a bit more than during the standard workshop. You will learn to bend, solder, saw, file and much more. This workshop will take you approximately 2 hours (this may vary depending on the number of people). You have the option to make a pendant or a ring. Ultimately, you also have the option to purchase a chain for the pendant. The gemstone that you will use for the extensive workshop is oval and a lot larger than the standard version.

Pendant workshop
Design : stone 14 x 10 mm oval and cabochon cut with serrated edge and closed back
Steps : stamp the back, solder the setting edge to the base plate, saw out, set the stone, polish
Don't wear rings or have you already followed those workshops? Then our pendant workshop is really something for you. You can make this pendant super personal by also having the option to stamp the back with initials if you want. We also have many chains in stock that you can purchase to finish it off completely.

Wide ring binder / Men's ring workshop
Design : rectangular ring binder 5.0 x 1.2 mm
Steps : choose ring size, solder, hammer round, stamp with 925, possibly hammer, polish matt or glossy.
A popular one among men, but certainly also among women, is our wide ring binder workshop. Here you get to work with a wide piece of silver and first bend it into a ring binder. Then solder, round, stamp and possibly finish with a hammered finish. Do you prefer a matte finish or a shiny one? The photo above shows a smooth matte ring on the left and a hammered shiny one on the right. You basically make the ring in silver and have the option to have it gold plated.
