Choose your experience
Create your ring · Forging and texturing
A hands-on workshop where you'll learn to transform a strip of metal into a finished ring. We'll start with brass or copper to practice textures and punching techniques, and then move on to silver.
You can choose between leaving your ring open (adjustable) or soldering it to close it completely. If time allows, you can have more than one ring made from the included silver.
- Duration: Approximately 3 hours
- Includes: up to 5g of silver
- Price: €95 (1 person) · €170 (2 people)
- Extra silver: €3/g
A straightforward, accessible and perfect experience to get started in metalworking.
Very limited spaces · Subject to availability
Sand casting · Handcrafted technique
An experience focused on one of the oldest jewelry techniques: sand casting.
You can create rings, pendants, or small objects using:
- Molds available in the workshop
- Resin models designed by me
- Simple pieces that you bring yourself (after consultation)
If you wish to have a personal item (coin, shell, small object, etc.) melted down, it is essential to consult with us beforehand to confirm that it is suitable for sand casting. Not all objects are appropriate for this technique.
- Duration: 3 hours approx.
- Includes: up to 10g of silver
- Price: €190 (1 person) · €340 (2 people)
- Extra silver: €3/g
You will work through the entire process: mold preparation, casting, and finishing of the piece.

FAQs
💍 Do you need to know anything about jewelry to participate?
No, not at all 😊
The experiences are designed for people with no prior knowledge.
I will accompany you throughout the entire process and take care of the more technical parts (safety, adjustments, welding or casting).
All you need to come with a desire to create and enjoy.
🔥 What if it doesn't go well? 😅
Don't worry 😉
Each piece is different, and that's part of the beauty of handcrafted items.
The experience is guided step by step so that the result is a well-made, wearable and meaningful piece of jewelry.
💎 How long do the workshops last?
It depends on experience:
- Create your ring: 2.5 – 3 hours approx.
- Sand casting: approx. 3 hours
These are individual experiences or for a maximum of 2 people, to work without rushing and with personalized attention.
🪶 What does the price include?
It includes the complete workshop experience, the use of tools, and my support throughout the entire process.
In addition, each experience includes money:
- Create your ring: up to 5g of silver
- Sand casting: up to 10 g of silver
If the piece exceeds the included weight, the additional silver is charged separately ( €3/g ). Before we begin, we'll assess the size to avoid any surprises.
🛠️ Where are the workshops held?
In my workshop at Anillarte, in Algete (Madrid) . It's the same space where I work every day: a real workshop, with a jeweler's bench, tools, and authentic materials.
💫 Can we come as a couple or with a friend?
Yes 💍
The experiences can be done individually or by two people who come together.
Each person makes their own piece, so the price is always per person (or couple option when applicable).
It is not possible to come just as a companion to watch: the workshop is designed to participate and create.
📐Can I do any design?
Experiences have clear limits to protect the process and the outcome.
- Create your ring: textured band rings (closed with welding or open adjustable).
- Sand casting: simple pieces (rings/pendants) from workshop molds, resin models or workable pieces.
Collector's items and complex designs are not reproduced outside the framework of each experience.
🐚 Can I bring an object to be replicated in sand casting?
Yes, but it is essential to consult it beforehand.
Not all objects are suitable for sand casting (due to shape, texture, material or detail).
Before confirming the experience, tell me your idea and I'll tell you if it's viable.

No.
