DIY Materials
One of the first steps in the DIY workshop experience is to pick your materials. You will need to make this decision prior to your scheduled workshop event. We will procure all the necessary materials as part of the workshop package. A variety of options are given to help you customize your creation and fit your budget. You can choose to work in 18K or 14K yellow, rose, white gold or a combination of these material variations.
Choosing which metal is right for you will depend on personal preferences. Knowing what color of the metal is right for you is a good place to start. From that point, we can narrow down the specific type of metal to use. For example, if you want a white-colored engagement ring. A white engagement ring can be made from either platinum or gold. If you were to pick gold you then have the option of 14K or 18K white gold. Platinum is the recommended and preferred metal for many reasons. A combination of options are available that includes platinum, 18K or 14K gold. Using the correct materials is critical for long-term durability.
