With These Rings

r memory with your special someone. Highly recommended, don't think about it, just do it!

erstand. I HIGHLY recommend this experience! Also, Port Townsend is such a cute town to visit! We stayed the weekend and we had an amazing time.

ly when and where to show up. The whole making process was so fun and Stephanie is extremely knowledgeable and offers excellent advice so you make something you're proud to wear everyday for the rest of your life. We can't speak highly enough of the entire experience and will recommend to any one we meet who has a wedding coming up!

s. With her guidance we were able to do each step on our own. Making our rings together was something we always wanted to do, and we are so happy that Stephanie made this dream possible.

. Personally, I was hoping to create a ring that would look amazing next to another ring I always wear that's special to me. She really took the time to help me do just that. We came out of the workshop with much more than rings alone, it was truly a special experience. Also, thanks for all the tips on where to go grab a drink and food afterwards ;)

niversary and made rings for one another for our anniversary gift to each other. Stephanie was a dream to work with, so friendly. Such an amazing experience!

daunting. Minutes into working with Stephanie and all of those worries disappeared. She has a wonderful warm personality with excellent teaching skills, and she genuinely cares about her craft. Each step of the process was carefully explained, and it gave us a glimpse into all of the complexities involved in jewelry crafting. We're excited to have truly priceless wedding rings, and this really was a one-of-a-kind experience that I couldn't recommend more.

perience working with metal. When we found With These Rings, we were so excited about getting to make each other's rings, and Stephanie made the experience even better than we could have imagined. She was an incredible teacher, guiding us through each step together and answering all our questions along the way. My ring looks perfect with my engagement ring, and we had my fiance's ring engraved based on a drawing of mountains and trees I created (which Stephanie made so easy to do after the workshop)! The whole process was easier than we thought, the workshop made for a wonderfully romantic getaway during the craziness of wedding planning, and the rings turned out beautifully!

ng rings and have them turn out so wonderful?!

uidance was easily understandable, so that we always felt confident in what we were doing. The workshop was one of the most amazing experiences of our wedding and all the preparation leading up to the wedding. Making our own rings was a very intimate experience: just a few hours of only the two of us expressing our love for each other through our rings. The resulting rings were not only beautiful and exactly what we wanted, but they will also remind us of that very special moment of calm and love we shared during one of the probably most hectic times in our lives. We also had a photographer capture some special moments of our ring-making session, which we can absolutely recommend.

, and even more thrilled to have the rings!

r 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 rings, forever.

th and makes the whole ring-making process really approachable - she guides you every step of the way to make you feel comfortable. The stay at home order canceled our first workshop appointment, but she was very communicative and accommodating in getting us rescheduled. I have already and will continue to recommend her to pretty much everyone I know who is getting married or knows people who might be (or to just gush to relatives about how cool it is that we got to make our own rings!).

hop through a google search, and we couldn't be happier. She is very easy to work with and communicative; she helped our vision turn into reality and answered our questions along the way. The workshop experience was amazing, it's clear that Stephanie is very knowledgeable and passionate about her art. And she really makes this experience accessible to any skill level. We're so thankful to Stephanie for the wonderful experience and helping us helping us create rings that are truly made with love.

us updated every step of the way until we were able to reschedule. During the workshop, Stephanie was also mindful of social distancing and even had face shields for the times she couldn’t. Stephanie was thorough in explaining the entire process and we never felt we like we didn’t know what we were doing. The process of making our rings from a strip of metal was unbelievable and we couldn’t be more happy. The fact that we made each other’s bands makes it that much more special to us.

us 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 do this again!

, I'm so happy with how they turned out! Stephanie is really a great teacher. We learned a lot and she made sure we always had a clear understanding of the next step. Plus, She was super fun to chat with and offered helpful suggestions about the area. Plan to stay in Port Townsend for a couple days and explore if you can!

f you're not crafty, you'll be shocked at how beautiful the result is. The studio is awesome, and Port Townsend is a super cute town to spend some time walking around and exploring.

ality ring with your own two hands. She never takes over the process, and provides the perfect amount of guidance at each step. We did the fabrication workshop, but there is also an option for a wax carving workshop, which allows you to make a mold for a curved ring (a perfect match for whatever engagement ring) or other organically shaped ring. Even when making classic style bands, there are so many options for subtly different finishes that you would never see in the store. We love having our unique yet still classic rings that will always remind us of the time we spent making them. Finally, if you are from out of town wondering whether you should travel to Port Townsend to work with Stephanie or try to find a more local workshop, definitely go to PT and With These Rings! After a lot of research online, we decided that Stephanie was the absolute best at this, and we had the added bonus of making this into a romantic vacation to charming Port Townsend and nearby Olympic National Park.

our phones of us working which was lovely since we wanted to capture the moment but were quite busy. Stephanie was also gracious enough to give us a lot of close travel recommendations for the days leading up to our wedding which we enjoyed. I wish I was getting married to my husband again so I could make another ring :-)

gave us some great recommendations on places to go in the area for food. I would happily recommend Stephanie's services for anyone considering them. You will absolutely not be disappointed.

ons about the science of metal), and was so much fun to spend a day with! The end product is beautiful, and I can't wait until we get to wear our rings every day! The opportunity to create your own wedding rings is such a gift and I am so thankful that Stephanie is sharing her skill with us through this amazing experience!

to ensure that my wedding band could match my engagement ring appropriately. She was also just so much fun to spend time with during the workshop! She provides such a caring and helpful environment along with a unique and unforgettable experience. Thank you, Stephanie!
