from 2957 reviewsMy partner got us the ring making workshop for my Christmas present and we had so much fun! The instructors were great and made the whole process so interesting and easy. We made each others rings and are so happy with how they turned out!
My friend couldn’t attend with me last minute, so I made her rings. I felt so supported by Alex and Paris to make her and my rings. The setting, support and professionalism was 10/10. Thank you Alex and Paris for your expertise, guidance and support. I made 4 beautiful rings and have booked again with my friend who couldn’t attend and I’m going for GOLD 🤩
Ollie and Kate were fabulous. We had fun,
created and have proof of our endeavours
Ollie and Kate were patient and only to
happy to assist anyone in need. We can
highly recommend them:
Book a session at the Bench for two with my partner. Got to through the session with Eric, who was super friendly.
My partner usually the introvert type but having an intimate area where we can have conversation together and Eric who were super awesome to walk us through the process of each step and also very patient with us since we took a while to decide on what kind of ring we want.
10/10 would recommend for anyone who want to book this experience for their love one, if you have extra budget to spare. The ambient, the vibe and the service is top notch. As myself and my partner are the type who enjoy a much more quieter space and getting to know each other's preferences and our jeweller maker, we could not be any happier with this experience.
We still waiting for our ring as we decide to get some stones with our, but seeing how turn our vision to life. I'll have no doubt they'll be beautiful. 🥰
Final shout out to Eric who is absolutely a legend, as you will not regret it if you get Eric who is 100/10 will make you feel real comfortable and making sure that you got the ring that you wanted.
Beautiful workshop space and wonderful staff. The class size was good and instructions provided were very clear - easy enough for anyone to follow, especially with both experts consistently available to provide 1:1 advice. The 2 ring format is a great way to deliver the workshop! Definitely felt the excitement across the room when we were polishing towards the end and all the rings started to shine. Thank you again!
Very professional and well organised. Anyone can do it.
Abbey and her team were incredible! Every step along the way was clear and easy to follow and the whole team was super friendly and helpful.
This was a birthday surprise for a friend and she (and I) absolutely loved the experience and love our new rings! ❤️
Alex and Paris were fantastic teachers and made the space very calming. They both provided excellent help and were both nurturing.
My partner and I just finished the ring building workshop and now have 2 lovely rings. Alex and Paris were so helpful and patient throughout the whole process. Was an absolutely lovely way to spend the afternoon and now have 2 handmade rings with special memories to wear everyday.
Participated with my partner and it was a very fun date! Everyone was very helpful, we had a great time.
This class was so much fun!! Teacher Abbie was excellent!! Would definitely do again
Had a blast and def learnt some rad skills. Thanks guys!
Instead of buying my niece presents, we go on adventures. As she is a teenager now finding things to do has been a bit more challenging. However, when I suggested the ring making workshop, she said YES, straight away.
Paris and Alex are excellent facilitators. They are very welcoming and guided everyone through the process with great skill and knowledge.
Emma and I are ecstatic with our completed rings.
I will be returning with another friend for a second adventure.
Thank you from Vanilla and Coffee Bean.
My daughter and I had so much fun taking the class in Melbourne. I made silver rings to give to my daughters but I want to do it again and make gold ones for myself!!! Thanks for a fun day!
I thought the rings would end up pretty wonky and badly joined but they actually turned out so well. Also cool that we got to make two different ones. A fun date idea :)
