About this tour
Craft your own wedding rings in a historic Milan goldsmith's workshop over three hours. You and your partner will work alongside a master craftsperson to select designs, melt and shape gold, weld bands, and personalise them with engravings. The experience welcomes couples to recycle heirloom gold—old family pieces gain new purpose as bespoke rings. Photography of your creation session and a closing aperitif are included.

What to expect
You'll begin by selecting or sketching your ring design with the goldsmith, who advises on feasibility and technique. Then comes the practical work: melting gold, pouring and shaping it, welding the seams, filing and polishing to a smooth finish, and finally engraving initials, dates, or symbols. The goldsmith manages the most delicate moments but you're actively involved throughout. Expect to get your hands dirty, take breaks if needed, and leave with rings that genuinely bear your fingerprints—imperfections and all. The session wraps with photographs and refreshments.
Good to know
Bring family gold if you have it; otherwise, gold costs extra. Complex designs require pre-agreement with the workshop. Allow 2–3 hours depending on your chosen model. Photography is emailed post-visit. Public transport is nearby; the workshop accommodates various fitness levels.
