This was one of my favorite experiences in NYC! I learned the ring making process end to end from casting to polishing and got to take home a beautiful ring.

It is a real, family-owned jewelry manufacturing office. He walked me through every single step with so much patience. I walked out with a ring I made with my own hands.

Questions

Do I need any experience?

No. A jeweler guides you one-on-one through every step, and you do the work with your own hands.

Which experience should I pick?

Express is about an hour: you shape, size and finish a sterling silver band. Signature takes 2.5 to 3 hours: you cast your ring from molten metal, set a stone and polish it.

Do I take the ring home the same day?

Yes. You wear it out the door when your session ends.

Can I add a diamond?

Yes. On the Express experience, add a lab-grown diamond for $40, set by our master setter while you watch. Signature includes a stone you choose from 15 genuine gems.

Where is the studio?

Inside Silva Jewelers Corp, a working jewelry manufacturer at 55 West 45th Street, 3rd Floor, in the Diamond District of Midtown Manhattan.

How far ahead should I book?
