People are so creative on our jewellery workshops :)

Create Something Beautiful—Just You and Your Chosen Few

Looking for a unique and meaningful way to spend time with family, friends, or even just some well-deserved time to yourself? Our Beginners Jewellery Making Experience offers the perfect escape.

Set in our peaceful studio in the stunning Holywood Hills, overlooking Belfast Lough, this hands-on workshop invites you to relax, get creative, and make something truly personal.

What makes our experience truly special? It’s just for you. When you book a session, the studio is yours—no strangers, no shared bookings. Whether you come on your own, with a partner, or bring a small group of up to three people, the workshop is entirely private. You’ll enjoy your creative time together in a calm, welcoming space, guided every step of the way by Ruth, our expert and friendly goldsmith.

This experience is perfect for all sorts of occasions—Christmas gifts, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's or Father's Day, family bonding time, friends' reunions, hen parties, bridal parties, or even a treat while your other half is off golfing!

No previous experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a sense of fun. Ruth will teach you the basics of traditional jewellery making and help you design and create a beautiful silver piece you’ll be proud to wear (or gift!).

Looking to surprise someone? Our workshops are available as gift vouchers, complete with a beautifully wrapped certificate. We can post it to you or directly to the recipient—just let us know what suits best.

Workshops run from 10:00am to 1:30pm and are limited to a maximum of three people, ensuring a peaceful, personalised experience every time.  If you're a larger family or group, we’re happy to accommodate you by special arrangement.

Come for the creativity. Stay for the view. Leave with a handmade treasure and memories that last.

We look forward to welcoming you to our studio.

The LUX Jewellery Making Experience

A Warm Welcome, A Creative Escape, A Touch of Sparkle

Step into the beautiful Holywood Hills and enjoy a luxury experience that blends creativity, craic, and a bit of well-deserved indulgence. Our LUX Beginners Jewellery Making Experience is all about slowing down, having fun, and making something truly personal—with a warm North Down welcome is included.

Whether you're coming with family, friends, or treating yourself, this is your time. You’ll be the only ones in the studio—no strangers, just you and your chosen group—making it a wonderfully relaxed and private morning out.

Guided by Ruth, our friendly and experienced goldsmith, each person will create their own piece of silver jewellery using traditional techniques. No previous experience is needed—just a curiosity to try something new and a readiness for some hands-on fun. It’s the perfect way to reconnect with yourself and others, and yes, if you need to hammer out a bit of stress… we encourage it!

As part of this ‘LUX’ experience, each participant will receive their own recyclable jute gift bag filled with sweet North Down tray bakes and a mini bottle of Prosecco or Nosecco to take away and enjoy at your leisure.

Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or a special treat, this experience is unforgettable. We can also provide gift certificates in advance—beautifully packaged and ready to give, or posted directly to your recipient if you prefer.

Workshops typically run from 10:00am to 1:30pm, though we never rush - if we run over a little, that’s perfectly fine. The studio, nestled in the tranquil Holywood Hills, offers sweeping views over Belfast Lough—ideal for taking a breath, enjoying the moment, and letting creativity flow.

Groups are limited to a maximum of 3 people, ensuring a personal and peaceful experience. If you're a larger family group or bubble, we’re happy to accommodate you by special arrangement. The studio is easy to reach by car, train, or plane, and parking is available on-site.

So why not join us for a morning of jewellery making, laughter, and luxury—and spend your afternoon exploring the Ards Peninsula (we’ve plenty of local tips if you need them).

This isn’t just an experience. It’s a memory in the making.

If you want to purchase this experience but do not know what day you need or are buying it as a gift for someone else, then maybe a gift voucher is the better option for you?

The Ultimate VIP NI Silver Experience

Private • Bespoke • By Appointment Only

Welcome to the pinnacle of what we offer: an entirely private, tailor-made day that blends fine jewellery craftsmanship with the very best of Northern Irish hospitality.

Nestled in the peaceful Holywood Hills, our studio offers sweeping views over Belfast Lough and the Antrim coast—setting the stage for a luxury experience like no other.

Every moment of your visit is designed around you, from chosing the date and start time, where possible, thereby fitting around your travel or other plans to agreeing on the duration and number of people attending.

During the experiece work one-to-one with our goldsmith, Ruth, to design and create a signature piece of jewellery. Choose from classic sterling silver or elevate your creation with precious metals such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or platinum (prices vary based on your choice). Whether you wish to make a ring, pendant, earrings or bangle, your bespoke piece will be handcrafted using traditional techniques and professional tools - with expert guidance from start to finish.

But this day goes far beyond jewellery making. Enjoy complete privacy and calm in our hilltop studio. Wrap yourself in a locally crafted luxury blanket, sip chilled drinks outdoors with panoramic views, or settle in at our handcrafted elm table while overlooking the lough. A handpicked selection of artisan cheeses, chutneys, and crackers—sourced from local producers—is yours to enjoy or take home as part of the experience.

If you prefer we can source outside catering to meet your dietary needs  and desires.

This is more than a workshop—it’s a tranquil period of escape enjoying time spent with us in our family home.  Exchanging our rich stories from the local film industry, world travels, and warm Northern Irish craic, we ensure your time with us is not just personal, but unforgettable.

Whether you’re celebrating a life milestone, organising a private group event, or simply treating yourself to something truly special, we’ll tailor the entire day to suit you.

Want to take the luxury even further? We can plan your full day itinerary - from reservations at award-winning restaurants to visits to nearby highlights like the five-star Culloden Estate & Spa, Ulster Folk Museum, or Bangor’s historic coastline and other like-minded experiences.

Custom gift certificates are availble, both digital and beautifully wrapped for effortless gifting.

All experiences are by appointment only, with strictly limited group sizes to ensure privacy and exclusivity.

Craft something extraordinary. Bask in quiet luxury. Take home a treasure - and  memories to last a lifetime.

Please call or email Ruth (+44 787 969 8286) or Steve (+44 779 314 6441) to discuss your requirements.
