Fantastic Class - The class was absolutely fantastic. Dörthe was a wonderful and patient teacher. My fiancee and I booked the course so we could make our wedding rings together, and we are so happy with the results! Dörthe led us through the entire progress, from the preparation of the silver all the way to cutting, hammering, and shaping our rings. She made the process easy to follow, and gently guided us whenever we had any troubles. We would not hesitate to recommend this class to anyone who is looking for a unique experience, and are sure to cherish the memories, skills, and rings we made during the class.

Amazing Experience - My daughter and I recently attended a jewelry-welding class with Dorthe and it was the highlight of our trip! We toured all over Italy and had some amazing tours/experiences, but this is a must. We rented a vespa and made it a day trip from Florence to Tuscany, and so glad we did. Dorthe is very knowledgeable, very patient and an amazing instructor. We started with just gold nuggets and ended up with beautiful rings that we will cherish forever. Dorthe guided us through the whole process and it was so nice to have someone teach us that was passionate about her work. It was a great way to gain perspective on the craft and feel accomplished for making something start to finish. She also provided us with a delicious lunch. This class was well worth our time and money. I highly recommend anyone in the Florence/ Tuscany area take advantage of this amazing experience.

Perfect afternoon, absolutely recommended - My fiancée and I were looking for something really special for our wedding rings. We didn't want the usual rings you buy in boutiques, which are beautiful but don't convey the love we feel for each other. We thus found the Dörthe course and immediately understood that it would be the right thing for us, and our expectations were even greatly exceeded. First of all Dörthe is a very nice woman and an excellent teacher. She took a lot of time for us, listened carefully to our ideas, gave us advice and was very patient, especially with me. It is immediately clear that Dörthe has a real passion for her work and is happy if she can make an engaged couple even happier. You can also bring old jewelry of sentimental value and make your own wedding rings with them. After the course, Dörthe offered us a perfect sparkling wine to toast our new faiths. We feel we have created something very special and unique and we are incredibly happy about it. We had a wonderful afternoon that will remain in our hearts for a lifetime at Dörthe and we recommend this unique experience to all engaged couples!

memories forever 💍 - My fiancé and I made the alliances ourselves. We took a look on Instagram (@schmuck.studio.shop) beforehand and were delighted with the jewelry pieces. It was wonderful with Dörthe 😍 They welcomed us very well and Dörthe helped us a lot to create the rings of our dreams. I brought a gold bracelet from my grandmother that we used as the base material, but she also provides gold and silver. Afterwards we toasted our rings with an aperitif and enjoyed the beautiful views. We recommend it to everyone!!!

Unique experience - My boyfriend made me a marriage proposal with a jewelry course to make wedding rings together. With Dörthe it was not only a unique, special and fun experience, but also simpler than expected. Dörthe was very attentive to our needs and helped us make the perfect rings for us. A carefree afternoon, which ended on a high note with wedding rings made with love and a good prosecco. Absolutely recommended!

Our faiths :) - We had this experience in Dörthe's studio, in a beautiful rural setting. With my partner we chose the path to make wedding rings together. The process is totally artisanal, and totally self-made!!! Dörthe only cares about carrying out the most dangerous steps that require great skill, but then the implementation is entirely personal and done independently. Everything is explained in detail, and Dörthe's passion for his work is great and engaging. We were also offered a tasty aperitif and we toasted the end of the work with a good prosecco and having some very pleasant chats. An enriching experience and day, truly recommended.
