I wanted to share with you on how overwhelmed with joy I am with my beautiful ring. I wanted to personally thank you for providing Darrin with such a great experience that enabled him to express and create a unique engagement ring for what our love stands for. Can’t wait to get started on our wedding rings. Once again thank you for your kindness, professionalism and honesty.
Just wanted to take a sec and thank you again for the class yesterday. It really was awesome. I posted the pictures for our families to check out and it literally made my mom cry to see her grandmothers ring all cleaned up and then a part of mine (in a good way don’t worry). She wants to convince my dad to do a class with her for their anniversary.
Sam we are so glad you offer this one of a kind class. Neither of us are super traditional and we wanted an alternative to the generic rings most jewelry stores offer. Now-because of your workshop – not only do we have unique hand made rings, but we also have great memories that will last forever. Thank you for offering this option and keep up the good work!
We just wanted to thank you for the amazing workshop you led us through. It was hard work, but soooo rewarding! We have to admit, midway through, we were a tad nervous the rings wouldn’t turn looking professional and smooth like one would get in a store, but, sure enough, we buffed the [Hades] out of them and they are smooth as a baby’s bottom.
The workshop was amazing. Lisa and I had a great time, and everyone’s been blown away by the pics. It was definitely the most fun we’ve had during the wedding planning process.
She was blown away by the evening and especially by the ring. She thinks it is amazing; thanks so much for all your help and guidance in making it. And it fits perfectly; a little tiny bit loose on the finger, but only barely passes over the knuckle so it couldn’t be any smaller.
Also, she’s pretty excited about the possibility of making each other’s wedding rings, so depending on our wedding budget we might well be back in touch with you soon enough 🙂
Just wanted to let you know that she said YES. I did it up on the mountain while we were snowboarding. Its fits perfectly and she is totally head over heels about it.
He LOVES it.
It is the most beautiful ring I (and he) have seen and I feel so amazing to have had this experience of making it with my own hands! Thank you does not begin to describe what I feel-
I proposed on New Year’s Day and Lilian said yes. She absolutely loves the ring and all of our friends are amazed by the effort and how gorgeous it is.
It might sound like a silly request but during my research it appears that rings often have names. If you have occasion to do so we would very much like it if you named the style for Lilian’s engagement ring “The Lilian.” I think it’ll make what is a magnificent engagement for us even more special!
Thanks again Sam. I can’t tell you how happy we are right now and it would not have happened without you.
She loves the ring, as do all of her friends. Thanks again for helping me make something that is genuinely special to her.
Thank you very much for helping us make our wedding rings this past Saturday! It was such a special day and one that I’m sure we’ll remember forever. The rings are beautiful and we can’t wait to wear them!
She loves the ring and is bragging to everyone about how I made it. And she is definitely on board with making the wedding rings.
The ring, just to let you know, is a huge success!!! Joseph loves it, it looks as great and perfectly fitting on his finger as I expected it to be (even better:)))) Thank you so very much for your help with this special piece of jewelry! Much appreciated and now it is in the right place:)))
We had a fantastic time and are enjoying looking at our shiny new toys. Thanks so much for a really amazing experience. We still can’t believe two rods of silver metal became these cool rings with only your expertise and 9 hours of work. We’ll definitely recommend you to other marrieds to be.
Thank you for your expert help and advice yesterday. We are so happy with our rings.
She loved the ring and the personalized touches you helped me give it such as the extra low setting and thinned band!
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for all your help. You really went above and beyond the call of duty: answering all my questions, helping me source the diamond, staying late into the night and the next day to help me as I ran overtime making the ring. Thank you. I enjoyed the process and it really means a lot to me to have been able to make the ring, thanks for enabling this. Your workshop is pretty much the only way I could have done this.
I proposed on Saturday and she said yes!! She absolutely loves the ring and loves telling the story of how I made it for her. After I proposed, I showed her all of the pictures that you took and told her all about the whole process.
Thank you for taking all of the pictures and giving me copies of them…they came out great and have been fun to share with everyone. I think that the ring has impressed everyone. They just can’t get over that I actually made it. It means the world to Diane that i put so much effort into the ring. Your help in making this ring has helped to make Diane and my engagement so special and I am very, very thankful. I am so grateful to you for all of your help.
Thank you again for all of your help. I really appreciate all that you did to make this idea a reality.
I wanted to clearly state how much of a difference your class has made for me personally. It was such a great experience and I will never forget it. I am sure there are hundreds of other people that you help in your job that would say the same.
When I left your shop that night in December – I had quite an adventure getting home and bringing the ring to my girlfriend in North Carolina. Just as I planned, I showed up at a bakery about 15 minutes before her and a friend. I came out from the kitchen with my ring on top of a red-velvet cupcake. It was a memorable experience and your shop was a big part of that journey for me.
I am including a link to a video I made reviewing your shop. I am very grateful for your help and the service you provided – I can only hope that this short little video gives back in some way.
Thank you again. My fianc̩ absolutely loves the ring Рand totally wants to come back to make our wedding rings.
Just wanted to say a big thanks once again from us. We had such a great time and are absolutely over the moon with our rings! We almost want to just head down to City Hall and get married now so we can wear them already 🙂
Thanks again for all your help, Sam! We love our rings, and we’re so glad we did this! I posted a TON of pictures from the day on Facebook. People had no idea that you could make your own wedding rings. 🙂
Thanks again for your expertise & patience, we had a great day with you & we love our rings!!!
I asked about a month ago, and she said yes! She’s been bragging to her friends about the ring too. I have to say, it feels pretty good.
Hello Sam! We made our wedding rings with you three years ago and we still absolutely love them. Making the rings – both mokume – was definitely one of the best parts of our wedding.
We still reminisce about our day spent making our rings, and I love mine more every day!
We absolutely loved our time with Sam and couldn’t be happier with how the rings turned out. We can’t wait to put them on at our wedding on Friday!
We looked over our album of pictures from the workshop today, and were so pleased to revisit our fun, rewarding, hectic 36 hours with you. We’re thinking about printing a booklet of photos from the workshops and sharing them with our family at the wedding.
We had a great time working with you this weekend. Thank you so much for the great conversations and your endless patience. We love our one-of-a-kind rings and would recommend your workshop in a heartbeat!
Thanks SO much for the amazing workshop, company and rings!!
She loves the ring, and the engagement has been a big success!
Thank you again so much for everything you did for us last Monday. We had an amazing experience truly and are absolutely thrilled with the rings you helped us make! If you ever need a recommendation or referral please feel free to forward my information along and we will be sure to mention your name every time someone asks about our rings. Thank you thank you and best of luck with everything.
I had in mind a very special thing, I thought I should make an engagement ring. It was amazing to me how Sam could take my not knowing anything about making jewelry to the level of creating such a beautiful ring in less than two days. His skills and knowledge not just about making jewelry but guiding someone to success are superior. I had a wonderful time and am very happy with the outcome of the engagement ring I was able to make myself.
I proposed Wednesday night and it went over quite well. 🙂 Afterwards, I showed her the pictures; her reaction: “You MADE the ring?! Oh My God!”
In any case, my heartfelt thanks for an amazing experience and providing me a unique way of showing my fiancée how much I love her. It is most definitely a fact and memory we will both cherish for a long time to come. 🙂
I am back from Japan and my wedding was awesome. People love the rings!!
It really was such a pleasure to take part in the workshop and both Sarah and I really enjoyed your company – the workshop was everything we could ever have hoped for and more! Of all the days we spent in the US on our recent round the world odyssey the day we spent with you was easily the best! I could go on and on… Thank you a thousand times. We love our rings so much and sharing the story of how they came to be has provoked some major fits of jealousy amongst friends who now wish they had thought to make their own rings. We’ll be dining out for years on this story and wearing “our” rings with a real sense of ownership and pride.
Thank you for working us into your schedule and for the workshop on Sunday. We had a great time and it was definitely a wonderful, meaningful, once in a lifetime experience.  We were worried about making rings from scratch and how they would turn out but thanks to you and your infinite patience we ended up with absolutely beautiful rings! It was one of the best decisions we ever made. Thanks again!
I just wanted to thank you! Helen and I had an amazing two days, and it was worth every minute (and every cent). We have been so unbelievably busy for the last few months, so a part of me thought it was a crazy idea to spend two days on something that we didn’t really have to spend any time on, but in reality the experience was very grounding and calming, to be so intimately involved in the process that went into making our rings that will be with us for the rest of our lives. We wouldn’t have done it any other way. Thank you so much for the experience and all of your guidance and patience.
