    Yesterday my fiancee and I made our wedding bands together at The Glamorous Owl. We were so impressed! The whole day was absolutely awesome. We started with two bits of white gold, then hammered, soldered, blowtorched and polished them into incredible, beautiful rings. There is something incredibly satisfying about taking a strip of metal and turning it into a beautiful, shiny ring. Claire made the day even more enjoyable with her great humour and gentle, skilled support of the ring-making process. The afternoon tea was great and we left feeling absolutely chuffed that we'd chosen The Glamorous Owl. Thanks Claire - and thanks to your Mum for the lovely afternoon tea!

    We came here for the ring making workshop where we made our wedding rings. The whole experience was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly instructor and the finished rings are just lovely. We will be back to make a bangle!

    What an amazing experience...making your own rings. A lovely friendly atmosphere and the two girls teaching us were great. Lots of choice in size,style and pattern for the rings. A beautiful finished product made by yourself, which will hold sentimental value. Absolutely loved it.

    Amazing staff, friendly service, made everything easy to understand. Found this place via groupon but totally worth every penny and more! Going to use the rings for our engagement and coming back to made our own wedding rings too we loved the idea that they are personalised just for us to us all the care detail time everything we did ourselves. These rings are perfect because they mean so much to us since we did it ourselves. We honestly can't wait to come back x

    Me and my friend have done the ring course today and had a fab time. I didn't expect it, but was thrilled with the result. The teacher was really nice (sorry forgot her name). We were lucky only 6 of us and finished within 90 minutes, I suspect longer if more people as the teacher goes around to quality check and help people. Very cold, but that is explained and they have heaters on. Wrap up warm and you will be fine. Lovely gift shop opposite with some pretty things. Only suggestion would be please do something like provide a certificate for the day and a ring box and gift bag would be nice, obviously for an additional cost. I really would have loved a ring box. We want to make a bangle next.

    Had the best experience ever yesterday afternoon making rings. The lady (sorry can't remember her name after cocktails) was fab, very entertaining and funny. Really enjoyed it. Thankyou so much x x

    Me and my girlfriend decided to do the ring making class for our anniversary. Neither had done this before so weren't sure whether we would enjoy. We worried over nothing as we had absolutely amazing time! Both teachers were amazing, Sarah who looked after us was really lovely and great at talking us through the process and making sure we were doing ok. At the end you get to walk away with a brilliant experience, bit of knowledge and a handmade silver ring. Anyone thinking about doing this should book up immediately, I have no doubt we would do something with these again!

    We had a lovely ring making workshop with Jess this afternoon. Gave us loads of freedom while also making sure we left with a finished product to be proud of. Will definitely be back x

    My husband purchased a saw piercing class as a birthday gift for me. I was very apprehensive as the only experience I had was that of an earlier ring and bangle class. My tutor for the day, Sarah, called me a few days before to ask me to come with some ideas to the class and explained what we would be doing. On the day Sarah was really helpful and showed me how to do some of the skills she has mastered over the years. It was difficult but with the help and reassurance from Sarah, I left the course with two beautiful pieces.

    Myself and my daughter went along and Jess took the workshop. It was thoroughly enjoyable and we both came out with handmade, beautiful silver rings. Jess took us patiently step by step with encouragement and stepped in to help when needed. Cant recommend it highly enough. We plan on going back.

    Had a fabulous day bangle making with my daughter. The workshop was so relaxed and absolutely amazing. Loved every minute of it. The tutor was fantastic and we wish you well for your forthcoming wedding. Hopefully we will be back before then. Thank you so much. AMAZING.

    The most amazing experience making our wedding rings together at The Glamorous Owl. From start to finish, the process was simple and well organized. A really lovely way to add another unique element to your special day. The photographs, afternoon tea and the bottle of fizz was another lovely touch too, and they were so accommodating for dietary requirements etc. We will definitely be back to attend more of the jewelry-making workshops!

    Bought as a gift for my daughter's 18th birthday. The master class lasts two hours, you create a product from the very beginning, your size. Amazing experience & atmosphere ❤️

    I shared some of my most personal, heartbreaking information with this vendor at a time when I was incredibly vulnerable. I contacted this business to ask (months in advance) for the opportunity to discuss availability and to hopefully book in for a session of ring making, to mark an exceptionally sentimental moment for our family with their services. Not being local, I was prepared to travel hundreds of miles from home and also to book overnight accommodation to facilitate the experience. This potential customer's polite request was ignored for a number of months. I reached out to the vendor despite the silence whereby I received an apology coupled with the offer of an immediate follow up correspondence in the coming days. This did not happen. I was ghosted twice. The dates I had pencilled in came and went. I did not need a friend. I did not need a favour. I wasn't especially fussed about a discount and I certainly could have handled a no. What I needed was basic customer care and some professionalism. I received nothing followed by false hopes, then nothing again, at a time of real desperation. We all have off days at work I suppose (?) However this happened twice and I can't fathom what I did wrong. I am unaccustomed to leaving negative reviews but on reflection I am so sad to have experienced this reaction, especially when I was reaching out from the void. At a real low point in my life I dreamt of a pleasant day out and a meaningful experience with the person who had been by my side throughout our trauma and grief. I was prepared to travel a long distance and pay a fair price for the privilege. Beware. This person was complaisant at best, but deeply cruel with a real lack of empathy/basic human decency at worst. I really do regret sharing my personal story with this company but at least I can share my experience with you dear reader. A lesson learned. In addition... A sincere apology does not include caveats or qualifiers. "'But' almost always signifies a rationalization, a criticism, or an excuse," Lerner says. "It doesn't matter if what you say after the 'but' is true, the 'but' makes your apology false."

    My wife booked a ring making session for both of us. Due to covid it was a private session, following all government guidelines. I felt very safe. Our tutor was patient a great people person and time flew. The end result was 2 beautiful ring, handmade and totally unique. A lovely experience, I would totally recommend to anyone.

    Excellent morning. Really enjoyable. Mothers day present for my mam and we made each other's ring as a lovely keepsake. Sarah the tutor was very good. Definitely recommend this place.

    My friend and I attended the ring making workshop with Sarah, she was very patient and made the experience very enjoyable , we were both very impressed with the experience and loved our rings, there were plenty of sizes and patterns to choose from. We will definitely be back for another workshop. Thank you so much 😊

    Had a fantastic session today creating myself and my partners wedding day today which was hosted by Claire. This session also included afternoon tea which was a lovely touch to add to the day and the end product with the rings was excellent. Claire was fantastic throughout the whole session with 1-2-1 support and created a really personalised experience for me and my partner. I could not recommend the wedding ring making session enough and would recommend this shop for anyone.

  • 5/5 Tom L. 1 year ago on Google
    My fiancée & I had a wonderful experience making our own wedding rings here in August. Claire was patient, knowledgeable and highly professional. There was a sizing issue when trying on the rings afterwards but this was dealt with expertly. The overall process added great memories to an already-special time getting married and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience. Thanks Claire & co.

    Really fun and unique experience doing the ring making. Friendly and fun staff to show you the ropes and genuinely pleased with the final result. It's of really high quality and unique

    We did the ring making workshop with Sarah, it was brilliant and we came home with two beautiful rings. Sarah is lovely and explains everything so they come out perfect. I can't recommend them highly enough, thank you xx

    We had a lovely time making our wedding rings, really interesting and they turned out beautifully! The afternoon tea was delicious too, great day out!

  • 5/5 Sara Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this. Sarah the teacher was amazing. Very patient and attentive. Great value for money and I even managed to make a decent silver ring. Perfect for a gift that's a bit different to the normal

  • 5/5 Emma C. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best day making our wedding rings! It was so much fun, as a couple who had never done anything like this before we were really helped along the process. We really enjoyed the afternoon tea too! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jess B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience, such a lovely thing to be able to do. My wife & I made rings for each other as it was our 3 year wedding anniversary and we loved them. Liz was brilliant, friendly, professional and very informative...most of all fun. We would love to visit again. Highly recommended 👌

    We went with my boyfriend as a late anniversary celebration and it was one of the best dates we’ve ever had. It is very unique experience yet fun and easy to do. My boyfriend is not very creative nor into similar things but still had an absolute blast. Will probably go for another workshop soon :)
