Reclaimed Rings
In this class we will cover the process of reclaiming scrap into usable material.
Melting, pouring and rolling out wire needed to create one of our staple band rings, we'll cover the whole process through soldering and finishing. Students can choose from the Classic Band, Bessemer Ring, Thompson Ring or Lodge Ring.
Tuition includes material for a Sterling Silver ring. If students would like to provide their own gold scrap, arrangements can be made in advance to accommodate. Please reach out to us via email, info@studebakermetals.com, to make those arrangements.

When I first went into Studebaker last year to talk about a custom project, we were greeted by Shelby and Peter da-cat who walked us through their stock and got us sized. She was warm and knowledgeable and even gave us the name of another jeweler if Studebaker couldn't create our vision - which, spoke volumes. I signed up for the ring class and opted for bringing my own materials. Shelby was very helpful in the early email communications to make sure I had what needed in order to feel comfortable in preparation for the upcoming workshop. She even let me come into the shop early on two occasions to be sure I had the materials needed and we sat at the desk going through my grandfather's old trinkets. This Reclaimed Ring Workshop was nothing short of wonderful. The team welcomed us with freshly made in-house lattes and gave us a tour of the facilities and provided us with a little history of the building and company. These are people who love the place they work in, honor its history, and respect the materials that they work with. Michael, Mike, Shelby, and Ash are wonderful human beings and experts in their craft. The workshop lasted longer than anticipated, but I never felt rushed and was always met with kindness from every member of the team. I couldn't recommend this enough. I am so pleased with how the ring turned out and cannot wait to take another class.
