Jewellery Buying FAQs
Yes, when you are checking out just let us know who to send it to and we will do the rest.
If there is a special message you would like enclosed just let us know. We will place the jewellery inside an eco gift bag wrapped in tissue paper.
This will then be placed inside a protective envelope for posting.
We are pleased to say just there is FREE insured postage within the UK.
Our website will automatically calculate the postage charges depending on the delivery address, during checkout.
The postage will be free :))
Unfortunately, we do not cover these charges and they will need to be paid by yourself.
Jewellery Making FAQs
Yes you can and this is a very popular gift idea for birthdays, anniversaries and just fun days out with family and friends.
When making your purchase just let us know the name of the person you want to be put on the gift certificate, what the message is and who it is from.
Also let us know who to post it to, either to you or direct to the person receiving it. We will then wrap up the certificate and place it in a lovely envelope.
That is not a problem, we fully understand that these things happen. Just give us as much notice as is possible, minimum of 7 days.

Only a camera or phone to help capture your memories and laughter of your quality time with Ruth, your family and friends.
All materials, machinery, tools and refreshments are included.
Our Jewellery Making Experiences last between 3.5 and 4 hours depending on which package you choose.
The time will fly by and we are relaxed about the timings, so let us know if you have other plans we need to work around.
No experience is required as Ruth will explain everything. Should you want her to Ruth will even complete some of the work for you.
Ruth has a natural talent for putting people at ease and any thoughts of 'I'm not very creative' will quickly disappear as you relax and enjoy the 'Craic' as the laughter levels increase in our workshop.
We are located in the beautiful Holywood Hills, County Down. We will send you our address once your booking has been confirmed.
We are less than 10 minutes from Belfast, if the traffic is behaving itself.
Jewellery Making FAQs
You can make textured rings, pendants or earrings. These experiences have been designed for complete beginners.
Ruth will take the time to explain the different making processes before you safely get involved. These experiences have been designed to fit in the 3-4 hours, so unfortunately we do not have time to cover more advanced skills such as stone setting.
If you want to use gold or other precious metals please discuss this with Ruth before your experience. (ruth@nisilver.com)
Of course you can, all we would ask is that you discuss your ideas with Ruth before your experience.
This will allow Ruth and you to refine any design ideas, to confirm what is possible within the timescales and also ensure that Ruth has the right materials for you to work with.
Chains are not included with the pendants and can be bought separately - sizes 16-20 inch sterling silver snake chains in stock.
If you want to make your pieces from Gold or other precious metals please discuss this with Ruth beforehand, so we can give you a extra cost of the materials. Silver is included in the cost.
We also have our own gift shop, just in case you need some other gifts :))
