✨ A ring you can't stop playing with! 💍❤️

Meet the Spinner Ring, also known as an anti-stress ring!

This beautiful design features several smaller rings that move and spin around the main band. You can play with them using your fingers, making it a fun and relaxing piece of jewelry!

🔨 Each little ring is handmade, with different textures and details created using hammers and chasing tools.

It's one of the projects students can learn to make in our jewelry-making program at 314 Jewelry Classes.

And guess what? You don't need any previous experience! We start from the basics and learn new techniques step by step.

✨ Beautiful to wear, fun to play with, and even more special when you make it yourself!

✨ Now it’s finally complete! ✨

I shared Tatiana’s beautiful pendant some time ago, but there was still one very important part missing: the chain.

Tatiana Kuvaldina made the entire chain herself, link by link, one by one, and as you can imagine, it took time, patience, and a lot of dedication. But it was absolutely worth it — the finished piece looks incredible, and she wears it perfectly! 💙

The pendant features a gorgeous aquamarine, and every day Tatiana surprises me a little more with her work. She’s also a painter, and I love seeing how her artistic eye comes through in her jewelry — in the shapes, textures, details, and the way everything comes together.

This is what I love about jewelry making: taking the time to create something truly yours, from beginning to end. 🔨✨

Beautiful work, Tatiana! I can’t wait to see what comes next. 💙

This beautiful pendant was completely handmade by Samee, one of my advanced students. ✨

From the piercing and soldering to the textures and every single link in the chain, each detail was made by hand, one by one. 🔨💛

Samee started classes with me recently, but she already came with experience — and I can already see that she’s going to create some very interesting pieces. She’s incredibly precise, dedicated, and attentive to every little detail, and that really shows in her work.

One of the things I love about my classes is that you can start at any level. You can come without ever having made jewelry before, or with previous experience and skills you want to develop further. We simply start from where you are and keep building from there.

I can’t wait to see what Samee creates next! ✨

What a beautiful way to celebrate a birthday! 🎂✨

Two hours together, creating jewelry, laughing, relaxing, and enjoying something completely different. There’s something so special about celebrating someone you love by slowing down, getting creative, and making something with your own hands. 💛

A jewelry workshop is more than just making a piece to take home — it’s about the experience, the time spent together, and the memories you create along the way.

Birthdays, friends, jewelry, and a little creative time… such a perfect combination. 🔨💎✨

Want to celebrate your next birthday in a different way? Send me a DM and let’s plan your jewelry workshop! 💌

✨ There’s something special about making your very first ring.

This is Tim, and today he finished the first ring of our jewelry program — completely made by him, from start to finish. 💍🔨

With this first project, students learn so many of the essential goldsmithing skills: sawing, filing, sanding, texturing, shaping, soldering, and polishing until the piece has that beautiful final shine. ✨

Tim came to the studio with no previous jewelry-making experience, and that’s exactly what I love about teaching from the beginning. Step by step, he learned the process, worked with his own hands, and created a finished piece he can be proud of.

That moment when you look at your first piece and realize, “I actually made this!” — it feels so good. ❤️

Great job, Tim! 👏✨ Now you’re ready for what comes next. There are so many new projects and techniques waiting for you in the program, and you’ll soon discover just how much you’re capable of creating.

That’s one of the most beautiful things about learning jewelry making: the technique can be taught — the artist is already inside you. 🔨❤️
My job is simply to give you the tools and techniques to bring it out. ✨

✨ A day full of creativity at the studio!

Today Margarita Casanova Cohen explored a new technique working with metal thread, creating these beautiful little bundles in brass and silver. 🧶✨

We loved experimenting with the wire, playing with shapes and textures, and seeing these pieces come to life. They turned out beautiful, and we’re both so happy with the results! 🤍

There’s always something new to discover when you allow yourself to experiment and enjoy the process. 🔨✨

This is what my classes are all about: personal guidance, individual attention, and learning at your own pace. ✨

Even in a small group, I work closely with each student, paying attention to your specific skills, your way of working, and what you need to improve.

My goal is not just to show you how to make a piece of jewelry, but to help you understand the principles of jewelry making — why we do things a certain way, how the techniques work, and how to use them with confidence in your own designs.

Step by step, I’m right there with you, helping you build real skills while developing your own style. 🔨💍

No previous experience is needed. You can start from zero and learn from there.

There’s something very special about learning a skill that feels completely new. ✨

This is her first pierced-sawing project, and she’s learning how to create delicate internal cutouts with precision, patience, and control.

Jewelry making asks you to focus in a different way. Your hands are working, your mind is completely present, and all your attention goes into the design, the tools, and the new techniques you’re learning. 🔨💛

And here’s something important: most of the people who come to my studio have never made jewelry before. You don’t need any previous experience at all. In fact, for me, starting from zero is often simpler—we build your skills step by step, from the very beginning.

That’s one of the things I love most about teaching jewelry. The skills you develop at the bench are so unique—it’s hard to compare them to any other kind of handmade work.

Every new technique opens the door to something else you’ll soon be able to create on your own.

Come learn new skills, work with your hands, and discover what you’re capable of making. Enjoy the process. ✨

One of my favorite parts of the jewelry program: stacking rings. 🔨✨

Rachel is starting this important step in the program, where she’ll create a collection of about ten delicate rings, each one with its own design and texture.

Using just a hammer and different chisels, students learn to create beautiful decorative patterns and borders — techniques that can later become part of so many different jewelry designs.

Every student goes through this part of the program, and yet no two collections ever look the same. Each person interprets the technique differently, develops their own patterns, and leaves their own mark on the metal.

And that’s one of the things I love most about teaching jewelry: I can teach the technique, but the final design belongs to you. ❤️

📸 A special thank you to for these beautiful photos — and yes, she’s one of my students too! 🥰

👉 Swipe to see an example of the kind of stacking rings Rachel is now learning to create. These aren’t Rachel’s finished rings yet — she’s just getting started! 🔨💍
