Love in Every Step
Making our rings with Stephanie has been our favorite part of wedding planning! Upon entering the workshop, Stephanie made us feel immediately comfortable getting to know us as a couple and as individuals. Throughout the workshop she continued to ask questions, that allowed my fiancé and I to learn more about each other. She helped us to build confidence in ourselves to make each other’s rings. Stephanie also took pictures for us along the way, allowing us to cherish those memories even more. We had Stephanie finish our rings with a custom engraving on the outside, the work she did was incredible and even more beautiful than we could have ever expected. -

Lilly Sent on 10/22/2023The most meaningful ring making experience
Stephanie’s ring making workshop totally blew us away. She is a great teacher, very professional, lovely to spend the day with, and truly makes ring making accessible to anyone with the desire to make a ring. The creation process was truly magical, and my now husband and I both created rings that were more beautiful and meaningful than we could have dreamed. We are absolutely in love with our rings and it’s so special to have been able to make them for each other. We are so happy that we chose to work with Stephanie and infuse our wedding rings with our love and creativity. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone in the market for a one of a kind and deeply meaningful wedding ring! -

Just do it.
This was one of the best experiences that my husband did while planning our wedding. Getting married is already so amazing, but the symbolism to make each other's ring is unforgettable. Stephanie has created a space where you can make a forever memory with your special someone. It is a way that we could support a small business, not a large corporate company. Highly recommended, don't think about it, just do it! -

Alex and I had an absolutely magical time making our rings with Stephanie. She walked us through each process and was so delightful to talk to! We are so excited about the final rings. I could not recommend this experience enough. It just adds a little something more to these rings to know we crafted them for each other. Stephanie was quick to respond and answer questions beforehand, patient with us through the process, the the final result is something we can forever share together! Thank you for adding something special to our next chapter together. And thank you for all you do in the shop and in the community. 💕 Sydney and Alex. -

We've always known that we wanted to make our own wedding rings, so this is something that we prioritized as we've budgeted and planned our wedding. While we were mainly very excited, Stephanie made the process incredibly smooth - we trusted her 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. -

Linh T. Sent on 03/23/2020What a unique and special experience for us both!
We were looking for wedding bands when the idea came to me that we should make each other ring's and a quick internet look up and With These Rings came right on top, beside being very close to Seattle and in lovely town of Port Townsend! I reached our to Stephanie who was very quick in responding, knowledgable and she answered my million questions and guided me through what we eventually landed on. We setup a day to come out and what an amazing time we had. We had to postpone our wedding for the safety of our guests BUT this was one thing that didn't have to wait and we were so glad it happened. Stephanie's studio was in cozy and you could tell how much thoughts she put into it. She guided us thoroughly on cutting metal, how to wield, what each step meant etc and occasionally giving recommendation on how to bend the metal to achieve the look we wanted. By the end of it, we made each other's rings and felt like a true artist. I can't recommend enough With These Rings!!!
PS: Port Townsend is awesome and do yourself a favor and go check our local shops and businesses and support them, or ask Stephanie for recommendation of awesome LUNCH SANDWICH spots. You will see a strong sense of community while you're here, and don't take my word for it :) -

The experience of planning a wedding can make you feel like an artist, a teacher, and an accountant all in one: trying to explain your personalities, your relationship, and what you want out of the celebration while also managing the budget, the schedule, the guest list... (sigh)
With These Rings gave us a much-appreciated break from that stress by creating an opportunity for a weekend away together, and a day of physically creating the symbol of our marriage. We decided to make each other's rings, and it was a wonderful reminder of the craftsmanship and work that goes into the life we're creating together, as well as how to check in with each other along the way so that we both come away with what we want and need.
Stephanie was fantastic throughout the whole process, from scheduling to fine-tuning the size of our finished rings. We really appreciate how she carefully instructed and demonstrated each step, but then stepped back and let us get immersed in the process. When there was something that we were unsure about or struggled with, she was kind and helpful, and always asked if we wanted verbal direction, or for her to lend her experienced hand.
We are so happy with our rings, and feel proud that our hands created them, and with Stephanie's help, in a sustainable way that we can feel good about! -

Awesome Experience!
My fiance had a blast making our rings and would recommend it to anyone! Not only was the experience itself fun, but making each other's rings gives them extra special meaning. Stephanie is great at breaking down the steps so that, especially if 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. -

We had so much fun making our wedding bands at With These Rings! It was a really special experience and I would absolutely recommend it. We wanted pretty simple bands, but they'll always be special to us - since we made them for each other! And, 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! -

Leanna Sent on 12/11/2019Best ring experience ever!
We are so incredibly happy with our rings we made one summer afternoon with Stephanie. The experience meant so much to us on so many levels that it's probably impossible to fully express our gratitude and satisfaction. We had both been so nervous 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 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! -

Once in a lifetime experience
My husband and I went to Stephanie's studio just a couple of days before our elopement. We loved the process of making our own rings, she made it so much easier than I thought it was going to be! She also took tons of fantastic pictures with 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 :-) -

Steph Sent on 01/15/2020Incredible, unforgettable experience
In a time filled with lots of very special memories, working with Stephanie on our rings still stands out as being one of the most memorable parts of our year. We absolutely LOVED having the chance to create something for one another, together, as well as design something that would be both beautiful and truly meaningful for us. But even that experience would not have been the same without Stephanie's patience and cheer. She was so easy and fun to work with, and the hours in her workshop flew by in the best way possible (as did the week-long vacation in Olympic National Park!). The design process afterwards around the pattern gave us such a cool chance to reflect on our relationship. Now, about a year since we first got our rings and 8 months since we've been married, we still admire these bands we made just about every day. This whole experience was simply wonderful and we cannot recommend it enough. -

Maria Sent on 12/29/2018Wonderful!
When I learned about With These Rings, I knew that my fiance and I would be signing up! Our time with Stephanie was wonderful. She quelled any worry that we would mess up, guided us expertly through the process (with some really cool conversations 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! -
Tiffany Sent on 07/04/2018I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and about With These Rings. Two things immediately stood out to us about her: the quality of her work, and her forthrightness. Right on her website, she'll show you the process of ring-making, the prices of the different metals, and what to know about how certain metals like palladium sterling silver will wear over time. She was very prompt and responsive to all of our questions.
That forthrightness continued right into the ring-making process itself. Stephanie is a great teacher: she's incredibly patient and kind, and makes good on her promise not to let you mess up, but that doesn't mean she'll take it over for you. She shows you the steps and will help you out if you have trouble, but you really are putting the work into the ring yourself, and more likely than not you'll have fun at the same time. Stephanie also explained the chemical processes behind each step, so it felt like taking the coolest science lab class ever. The time just flew by. We received the finished rings in the mail last week after having them engraved, and they're absolutely perfect. She even offered to have her photograph friend take photos of them free of charge to post on social media, and you can see the results below.
Even if you're on a budget, I can assure you that With These Rings is completely, utterly worth the experience of creating a beautiful and lasting symbol of your union, especially with such a kind and capable teacher. Thank you, Stephanie! -
