Make Your Own Necklace Workshop

Spend a morning at the bench in our Wetherby workshop and make your own sterling silver or 9ct gold pendant, guided step by step by one of our goldsmiths. No experience needed, just a free Saturday morning and a bit of patience. You’ll leave wearing a necklace you made yourself, or with a very special handmade Christmas present for someone you love.

Your Morning at the Bench

• Arrive at our workshop in Wetherby for 9am and a cup of tea or coffee.
• Choose your design: a Christmas tree, a leaf or a textured disc. Not sure yet? Decide on the day once you’ve seen the samples.
• Learn how to saw, file, texture and finish precious metal, using the same tools and techniques we use for our wedding and engagement rings.
• Our goldsmith takes care of the soldering and final polish.
• Your pendant goes onto its chain, into a Jacqueline & Edward gift box, and home with you at midday.

What’s Included

• Three hours of tuition in a small group (a maximum of eight people, each with their own bench).
• All tools, materials and safety equipment.
• Silver: your sterling silver pendant, stamped with our maker’s mark, on a sterling silver chain.
• 9ct gold (+£250): your 9ct yellow gold pendant on a 9ct yellow gold trace chain. The price includes up to 1.5g of gold. Gold pendants over 1g must be hallmarked at the Assay Office, so we’ll post yours to you (or you can collect) once it’s back, usually within two weeks.
• A gift box and a cup of something hot.

Who It’s For

Complete beginners are very welcome. Children aged 10 and over can take part alongside a paying adult, and 16 and 17 year olds can attend on their own with a parent’s consent. It makes a lovely morning out for friends, couples, parents and children, or a small work outing. Booking for more than one person? Choose how many of you are coming and you can pick a metal and design for each person. If you’d like to book the whole workshop for your group, just get in touch.

Buying as a Gift

A workshop place makes a lovely Christmas present, and so does the pendant that comes out of it. Choose a date and book in the recipient’s name, or buy a Necklace Workshop Gift Voucher, which is valid for 12 months and can be used on any available date.
