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.

Gilding

Unless specifically booked in solid gold, you will work with silver during the workshop. After the workshop you can decide to have your jewelry gilded. Then you leave your jewelry with us at the end of the workshop, it will then go into one of our many gilding rounds. To guarantee really good quality, we use an external laboratory where a thick layer of 14k yellow gold is attached to your silver jewelry. This process usually takes about 2-3 weeks from the moment we send the round . We usually send the round once every six weeks. You will be automatically notified when your jewelry is back from the gilder, so that you can pick it up in our store or we will send it to your address (+ €7).
