I just wanted to post because I just noticed that the girl who made the rings for DH and I (in 2004) has just opened her own Gallery and Workshop in Toronto. Apparently she offers classes on making your own wedding bands (wish she did that 2 years ago). I just thought it was a really great idea for those of you who are still looking.
It's a one day course and it seems reasonably cheap to me ($125 per person or $225 per couple - plus materials approx. $10-150).
Gosh it just seems so romantic.
Anyhow, she also does wedding jewellery workshops (for just the bride or bride & bridesmaids) so you can custom make your own accessories. I probably would have done that as well as it would have made for a fun girlie night out!
Hmmm. I wonder if she does baby related items. Maybe I could make a special memento for my little one?
Here's a link to her website with more info... http://thedevilsworkshop.ca/
