“I had the most amazing afternoon at the Hampshire school of jewellery. I chose the stacking ring course. Our host was Laura and she is the most patient, kind and gentle person I’ve ever met, she’s just wonderful! You instantly feel at ease with her.
The course is explained in small steps and there is help for you all the way through. I liked that we were given several options of designs to work on, so I could choose which I liked for my style.
When I arrived I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to make anything decent but by the end of the 3 hours, I had 3 gorgeous rings that I was so proud of, that I got a little teary.
I highly recommend this course either for yourself or as a gift for someone else. I will be booking on to future courses to try making different things.
Thank you Laura for a wonderful experience.”

Thank you Laura!”
