With These Rings — Local services in Port Townsend

We've always known that we wanted to make our own wedding rings, so this is something that we prioritized as we've budgeted and planned our wedding. While we were mainly very excited, Stephanie made the process incredibly smooth - we trusted her completely to guide us along to create beautiful, customized pieces. We loved working with her!

In particular: Stephanie is very upfront and transparent about cost. She was also very communicative regarding what customizations were possible, as well as which of those customization decisions needed to be made upfront vs what we could decide during the workshop. My fiancé and I had gone to a local jeweler to see what we liked, and Stephanie helped us create ideal versions of each others' rings based on that (my fiancé asked for a "European comfort fit" and I wanted milgrain edges added to mine). Stephanie empowered us to feel confident doing as much on our own as we felt comfortable with, but checked in regularly and was always there to step in and help. It was very difficult to mess up or do something wrong. We loved being able to try on our rings during the session and make adjustments throughout. For instance, I was able to put on my wedding band on along with my engagement ring and see what it would feel like to have a tighter vs looser ring, as well as change my mind about the finish. We were able to use Stephanie's bluetooth speaker to play music throughout the workshop, which helped create a fun environment for us. Getting away to Port Townsend and making something tangible with our hands was a fantastic break amidst what has been a very stressful time. It was nice having something we were looking forward to doing for our wedding. Stephanie is so friendly and easy to talk to, and had great recommendations for our stay in Port Townsend, from where to stay, to what to eat and do. On top of that, she uses her social platform to support local business and advocate for just causes, which was just icing on top of the cake for us!

If you are considering doing this, I highly encourage you to check Stephanie out - we know that we will treasure this experience, and our...

We are so incredibly happy with our rings we made one summer afternoon with Stephanie. The experience meant so much to us on so many levels that it's probably impossible to fully express our gratitude and satisfaction. We had both been so nervous about the workshop (we're each sort of crafty in our own ways, but had never done anything like this) because it was new and we felt the pressure of doing something we'd never done before - and knowing that we'd be wearing the result of for the rest of our lives! Stephanie was so great from the moment we contacted her to the moment we left studio. She assured us that most people felt the same way, and that she'd walk us through every single step. Within the first half hour our nerves had disappeared and we were fully engaged in the process! The rest of the day flew by, but by the end we had made our bands and were already talking about when we could come back to make some more rings! After Stephanie set the stone LeAnna had selected, our rings were shipped to us a month or so later and we were SO excited to have them both finished. We absolutely love them, both because of the way they turned out and because of the experience of making them together. It's also so fun to share the story of making them with anyone who asks. We can't say enough about how perfect this experience was and how incredibly thoughtful, patient, professional, and kind Stephanie was. Additionally, Stephanie was immensely helpful in helping LeAnna pick a unique stone from a reputable source - without Stephanie's invaluable knowledge LeAnna would have ended up with a soft stone that would not have lasted. Stephanie answered every question we had about stones and settings and we ended up with the perfect rings for us. We'll be back - gotta add some band for an anniversary or find some excuse to...

This is the best decision I have made for my wedding (other than to get married to the love of my life, of course). Making our wedding rings with Stephanie at With These Rings was so. much. fun!!! This is the ultimate wedding DIY that requires no prior experience (I have never made any other jewelry before this workshop). I felt confident throughout the workshop from Stephanie’s expertise, professionalism, and clarity in explaining all the steps and the science behind the process. Stephanie’s communication while scheduling the workshop, what to prepare, during the instruction of the ring fabrication workshop and every step of the way was so clear. The rings look amazing. I cannot believe that the rings are something we made - they look so professionally made. Stephanie’s steps on ring making are basically fool-proof because of the high quality of instruction she provides for each step during the workshop. I almost wish I could do the workshop again because it was such a great experience! This was a years-in-the-making, dream-come-true moment for me. It is amazing to be able to look at this piece of jewelry I will wear every day for the rest of my life and be able to recall all these fun, lovely memories of making these rings together in Port Townsend. I cannot recommend this workshop highly enough! If you’re considering making your own wedding rings - go for it! This is the...
