VIP Beginners Jewellery Making Experience
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.



What our Customers Say

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Ruth was so friendly and accommodating making us feel as if we were her lifelong friends. We loved making our rings (with lots of Ruth’s help of course) and we felt so proud of ourselves. Ruth and Steve welcomed us into their beautiful home and garden and provided us with a delicious array of food and drinks in their outdoor igloo. Overall it was a relaxing, creative and bonding experience which we would highly recommend.

If you're looking for that unique treat or experience,then a jewellery making workshop with Ruth at NI Silver is a must! I had such a fun time not only watching Ruth demonstrate her skill, but then making my own bespoke silver ring and of course enjoying Steve's great hospitality. What a perfect day! Thank you.

My husband and I were gifted a workshop experience and we weren't too sure what to expect, but Ruth at NI Silver made the morning an absolute pleasure. She was knowledgeable and funny, chatting away whilst showing us the steps we needed to do, and then stepping back to let us have a good go! We all had a great time and I would 100% recommend the workshop experience to anyone - I'll definitely be back some time for another go!
