6 Week Beginners' Summer Jewellery Course: 20th July-31st August 2027

What a great session this was! The three of us came with vague ideas of what we might want to create, and it was a little daunting to be faced with a square of metal and an array of tools but Shelley was fab, talked us through everything, demonstrated everything carefully, then we were each hands on supported step by step from drawing our designs, through cutting, soldering, pickling and polishing. First with a practice version in copper to get a feel for everything, then on to silver. We came away with professional looking jewellery that we all agreed we would buy in a shop. We are amazed at what we produced ! And what a great teacher Shelley is, really lovely and very patient, giving lots of advice and guidance to ensure we got the best result. A really fab afternoon 😁

Just what we wanted delivered personally and in very quick time. Perfect bridesmaid gifts.

This was such a lovely birthday treat - making my own silver dangly earrings. Shelley was a great teacher. She demonstrated every stage of the process clearly and let us experiment until we were happy with the end result. Really pleased with the earrings I made. I would definitely recommend this as a fun creative activity.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at a hammered silver ring workshop run by Shelley. It was fascinating learning how to size, cut and turn a simple piece of silver wire into something so stunning that I can actually wear. The fact that we made them ourselves makes it even more special.

Shelley made it a thoroughly enjoyable, fun and relaxed evening. If you’re thinking of having a go yourself, I’d highly recommend it!

I had such an amazing experience yesterday making my very own rings with Shelley Ide Jewellery. 💍❤️

I have to be honest, I doubted myself right from the beginning and really didn’t think I’d be able to make my own ring. I kept thinking I was going to get something wrong! But I actually did it, and I’m genuinely so proud of myself. 🥹❤️

There’s something really special about being able to say, “I made this,” and knowing that I’ll be able to wear my ring and treasure it for years to come. It’s not just a ring anymore — it has a whole experience and memory behind it.

A massive thank you to Shell for being so lovely, patient and encouraging throughout. You made us feel completely at ease and made everything feel so much easier than I ever imagined.

It was such a personal, special and memorable experience, and I honestly couldn’t recommend Shelley Ide Jewellery enough. If you’re thinking about giving it a go, I would absolutely say go for it! You might surprise yourself just like I did. 💍✨

Excellent quality and made to special order

Amazing evening resulting in beautiful rings.
Thank you so much, I will be back!

A super evening with Shelley making a hammered silver ring. Who knew it was even possible to achieve your own made to measure ring in just one evening. Infact you make 2, a copper trial ring first. Shelley is super informative snd helpful, clear hands on demonstrating plus there to help to rectify if things don’t go quite to plan. Her workshop is set up and kitted out with all you need (plus tea, coffee & cake 😉). Shelley is fun, very approachable & helpful; chatter flows whilst you create. A great experience, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve used Shelley’s services twice now. The first time I had some silver earrings where I had lost the little stars that hang from them and asked her to make me tiny starfish replacements, which are not only beautiful, they are totally unique and I love them. More recently, my son wanted a copper open bangle. Shelley listen to exactly what he wanted and he is over the moon with it. Highly recommend Shelley for a truly personal service :)

Shelley made the workshop fun, easy to follow, and supportive. I would highly recommend this workshop as a lovely way to connect in a group, come away with a beautiful ring made by you, begin learning a new creative school, and great value for money. Thanks again Shelley

Fabulous evening, wonderful host, I'm absolutely loving the rings we made and we had a really lovely time - Thank you so much!

What an absolute treat! Shelley ran this workshop as a 50th birthday event for me and my friends. It exceeded my expectations in every way. Shelley is such a great teacher - knowledgeable, patient, kind, and we had so much fun. She is so well prepared thought of absolutely everything - providing us with an information pack, notepad and pencil, refreshments... even a beautiful box to take our rings home in. I would wholeheartedly recommend this workshop: whether you are attending as an individual or bringing the whole group. I am so thrilled with my ring and will treasure it, and the memories I made with my friends forever. Thank you Shelley.

Such a perfect way to spend an evening doing something creative, and making something you get to wear and keep forever!

The workshop at Orla James is perfectly equipped and Shelley was a fantastic host! The demonstrations were really helpful and she was fantastic at supporting us to make the perfect rings!

The best evening!!

Beautiful products and first class delivery response.

I attended East Sussex National to check out an artisan makers event, and a key purpose was to see if there were any pendants I could buy for myself. I was delighted to come across your stall, and also recognised your name from a shop (now closed) in Hastings Old Town. The necklace I bought is brilliant and unique. I've delighted with it.
