A one-day workshop, for simpler designs, involves forging the rings from a piece of gold or silver. Participants file, saw, shape, hammer, form and solder the rings. Then, after more filing and polishing, they leave the studio with their completed wedding bands. More complex designs are done in a two-day casting workshop that starts with shaping, carving and spruing a wax model, investing it in plaster and placing it in a kiln where the wax is burned out, leaving a cavity in the shape of the ring. Participants then heat their silver or gold and put it into the cavity using a centrifugal force casting machine. Once filed and polished, the rings are complete.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47573\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47573\" class=\"wp-image-47573\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony-1024x922.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony-768x692.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony-810x730.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewelry-Melinda-Lawtony-1140x1027.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Left) Carved mother of pearl and pav\u00e9 topaz; (Right) Morganite, pearl and diamonds<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI am inspired every time I offer one of these workshops at how absolute beginners at jewelry making can, with a little help, create a magical one-of-a-kind wedding band for their spouse,\u201d says Mankin-Morris. \u201cThe experience is inevitably as valuable as the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Mankin-Morris, working one-on-one with couples in this way enables them to achieve almost any design, including those that are incredibly complex. Examples include the incorporation of wood, bone or stone inlay, and engraving and carving.<\/p>\n<p>Molly Sharp, of Molly Sharp Jewelry, in Zirconia, also offers workshops to guide couples in the design and creation of their wedding rings. She begins by asking them to send photos of rings they like. Next, Sharp helps them establish which metals they prefer to use. Options include sterling silver and white, yellow and rose gold. Once these details are decided, either in person or through emails as a free consultation, a price is given and a date is set to make the rings. Sharp charges $300 per couple for the day, plus materials. It usually takes no more than one day to complete the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy great-niece, Maya, and her fianc\u00e9, Thomas, asked to create their wedding bands with me using Maya\u2019s late father\u2019s sterling silver wedding band,\u201d says Sharp. \u201cIt made for a very touching and sentimental story that brought tears to the guests\u2019 eyes at their wedding.\u201d<br \/>\nSharp also designs and makes earrings, necklaces and bracelets as bridesmaids\u2019 gifts. All of her jewelry is hand fabricated, built using metal sheet and wire and often set with faceted or cabochon stones.<\/p>\n<p>Couples who would rather leave the fabrication of their pieces up to a jeweler can still participate as much as they want in the design process. Sophie Lotstein, owner of Sun Sparrow Metalsmithing, in Asheville, often starts with a unique center stone and builds out from there. This could be anything from a salt and pepper diamond hand-selected by the bride or a precious heirloom sapphire passed down for generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a real sense of history, love and unique personality when working with heirloom gems,\u201d says Lotstein. \u201cThose tend to be the most special and rewarding pieces to make.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47577\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47577\" class=\"wp-image-47577\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1-1024x954.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1-768x716.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1-810x755.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Jewerly-White-Gold-Wedding-Bands-made-by-students-of-Molly-Shart-Voorhees-1-1140x1062.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">White gold bands made by students of Molly Sharp Voorhees<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Lotstein often incorporates stones that evoke a sense of place, such as tourmalines the color of the ocean, a forest green emerald or an opal that glows like a sunset. Sometimes it is the source of the stone that is significant, or the contrast between stones or their settings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to design simple, elegant and timeless pieces that will hopefully be passed down to future generations,\u201d says Lotstein.<\/p>\n<p>At Hendersonville\u2019s Sweet Magnolia Gallery, home of Melinda Lawton Jewelry and Studio, couples can share their vision with Lawton, who will work with them to create a one-of-a-kind design. Popular requests for materials include alternative stones such as sapphires, rubies, emeralds and colored diamonds. Moissanite and lab-created diamonds are also popular due to their conflict-free origins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love it when couples come in and talk with me about their desire to create the perfect ring,\u201d says Lawton. \u201cI find they often want to forge their own path rather than follow what everyone else is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawton sources gemstones from around the world, working only with those that are ethically mined. She uses gemstones of every color and can create jewelry to match the colors couples have chosen for their wedding and wedding party.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/MtnMetalworksAsheville.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MtnMetalworksAsheville.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/MollySharpMetalsmith.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MollySharpMetalsmith.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/LucyClarkGallery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LucyClarkGallery.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/MelindaLawton.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MelindaLawton.com<\/a>, or find each jeweler on Facebook and\/or Instagram.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you want to hand-pick the stones for your wedding jewelry, incorporate an heirloom or memento, feature nontraditional materials, design your own rings or even make them yourself, there are jewelers in WNC who can make it happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":47575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","category-lifestyle"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
