Make Your Own Ring in Kobe: Personalized Jewelry Class

Hand-stamp your own ring with traditional jewelry tools in about 90 minutes.

Make a personalized ring, bangle, or pendant in Kobe using traditional jewelry-making tools and hand-stamping techniques. You choose the item, material, and design, from elegant motifs to kanji characters, then shape, stamp, and polish your piece under step-by-step instruction. No experience needed. The class runs about 90 minutes and includes a silver ring as standard. Upgrades to gold or platinum are available at additional cost.

The experience

You arrive at the studio and start by choosing what you want to make: a ring or bangle. Next comes the material: silver is included, but you can upgrade to 14k gold-filled, 18k gold, or platinum on the day. Then you pick your design and personalization: elegant timeless styles, fun kanji motifs, initials, a name, a date, or a short message. The staff walk you through each step: shaping the metal, hand-stamping your chosen design or text using traditional tools, and polishing the piece to a finished shine. It's hands-on and beginner-friendly, with no prior experience required.

The whole process takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. Tool usage and instruction are included in the price. A silver ring in standard sizes (up to Japanese size 12) comes as part of the class. Larger sizes and material upgrades are available for an additional fee depending on what you choose. The piece you finish is yours to take home. A one-of-a-kind keepsake you made yourself. Photos are available during the session.
