Why Forge Your Own Rings?
The workshop is more than making rings – it is a shared experience you will remember. You work with your own hands, take part in every step and create something that connects you both.
No previous experience is needed. Depending on the material, the rings are cast, deep-drawn or formed and welded. You then continue working on them yourself: hammering, filing, stretching, rolling, turning and polishing, in the relaxed atmosphere of the Heckmann Höfe.
At the end of the day, you take your finished rings home – forged by you, for you, with my guidance.
How the Workshop Works
The initial process depends on the material: gold is cast directly as a ring, palladium is deep-drawn without a seam, and platinum is formed and welded.
1. Consultation
Beforehand, we discuss your wishes: material, width, height and finish – via Zoom, email or directly at the workshop.
2. Gold: Casting Under Protective Gas
Together with me, you cast your gold rings directly as rings under protective gas in the workshop. You then continue working on the cast blanks.
3. Palladium: Seamlessly Deep-Drawn
Palladium rings are deep-drawn from the material, creating a seamless ring without a welded joint.
4. Platinum: Forming and Welding
Only platinum rings are formed from a rolled strip and then welded.
5. Further Work by Hand
You then continue the work yourself: hammering, filing, stretching, rolling, turning and polishing, with guidance at every step.
6. Engraving
Laser engraving is done on site, so you can watch your message being engraved into the ring.
The Process
The first steps vary by material. After that, every ring is individually worked by hand.
