One of the first questions I get is naturally: How much does it cost?

The price of handmade wedding rings varies, but averages from 22,000 to 32,000 kroner per pair. Each ring is made to order, and there are several factors that affect the price:

Factors affecting the price:

  • Gold type : 9 karat, 14 karat and 18 karat have different proportions of pure gold. 9 karat is the most affordable, while 18 karat is the most exclusive.
  • Color of gold : Yellow gold is mixed with silver and copper, while white gold contains platinum or palladium and requires more work.
  • Gold weight : The size, height, and width of the rings affect how much gold is used.
  • Engraving : Simple interior engraving costs less than advanced hand-engraved decoration on the exterior.
  • Stones : Diamonds or other gemstones affect both price and expression.
  • Custom design : The number of design suggestions and how much we customize to your wishes affects the working time and thus the price.

How we move forward

First call

You first contact me by email. We will then arrange a design meeting, either at my workshop in Skien, over Zoom or via email, depending on what suits you best.

Idea and inspiration

Once we have specified the style, symbolism and desired ring type, you will receive a deposit invoice. I will then create two to three design proposals based on what we have discussed.

In most cases, the couple chooses one of the suggestions, and some want small adjustments before we land on the final design.

Production and delivery

Once the design is approved, I begin production of the wedding rings. Delivery time is usually 2 to 3 months from the start of production.

Hand engraving

Hand engraving is a rare and traditional craft in Norway. Most rings on the market are made by machine and are exactly the same.

Hand engraving not only gives a more personal and beautiful expression, but is something that very few others can offer. I have a journeyman's certificate and extensive experience as both a goldsmith and hand engraver, and each pattern is created with precision, good craftsmanship and an eye for design.

Share information about your brand with customers. Describe a product, make announcements, or welcome customers to your store.

What can be engraved on the inside of the rings?

Traditionally, names and wedding date are engraved on the inside of wedding rings, but the possibilities are many. Some choose nicknames or initials, others choose small quotes, song lyrics or words that have special meaning to their relationship.

Maybe you have an inside joke, a place you met, or a promise you want to carry with you?

♻️ Gold remelting

Do you have heirloom gold, old jewelry, or rings with sentimental value? It is entirely possible to use your own gold to make wedding rings.

I remelt the metal in my workshop and reshape it into rings that carry both memories and new meaning. Many choose this to pass on a family history, or to make the use of resources more sustainable.

Remelting involves additional labor and design costs. The actual price of gold is reduced because deere supplies its own material.
