Seelye Workshops

Each month, you will see a rotation of our three workshops offered at the studio.

Scroll through to learn more about each offering.

1. Ring Carving

Our true love, staple. Carving your own ring by hand using the art of lost wax carving and casting.

Our mission is to offer a link between the designer and consumer. Throughout our time together we will guide you through creating a ring you will cherish for years to come.

  • Wax carving and casting is a 6,000 year old tradition, allowing you to both create with your hands and utilize gifts from mother nature, to put something into the world that has the opportunity to last for generations to come. It is our absolute joy to have an opportunity to share with our community an art form that we find so sacred.

    It is the act of carving your piece of jewelry out of wax, followed by melting down metal and pouring it into the space where the wax once held…creating a perfect replica of your piece.

    In our workshops, you do the carving and we do the metal casting in post production services. The result and product is a piece of fine jewelry that has been made with your own touch.

  • No! We invite every one and any one in. You will be in good hands of the Seelye to ensure your piece is brought to life.

  • All sizes! We take ring sizes at the workshops and within the kits. All sizing is then finalized and perfected in post production services.

  • Tickets are priced between $250 - 275. All purchases come with a final piece casted in solid sterling silver.

    All add ons, including 14ky solid gold, ethically sourced stones and engravings are additional. It is completely up to you with how much you invest into your piece.

  • Our solid 14ky gold cast is based on the final weight of your carving, however, it begins at $700. Every one will get a $100 credit towards their final metal price if they chose to get something other than sterling silver.

    We also offer rose gold, white gold & platinum by request at a similar price point.

  • Post production takes 7 - 9 weeks, based on the specific design requests. Once the Seelye team finishes prepping the wax band, we send it off to our family casting team located in the diamond district of New York City. Each piece of the production process is completed with love and care by a set of real hands. We are shifting back to a slow-production model with our Seelye pieces, in a very fast-production world. We so appreciate your patience!

  • Yes! On a case by case basis. Please write us with your questions at hello@seelyedesigns.com.

2. Signet Bar

Our hands free workshop, where we invite you to be the designer.

Choose from 6 signet rings, pre-carved and designed by the Seelye team. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to use these signets as your “blank canvas” to personalize the piece by adding fingerprints, ethically sourced stone and engraving. Once you finish your design, the piece is handed back to us from post production services, where we will bring your vision to life! Returning to you once complete.

Each piece has been named after our co-founder, Kathy, and her close knit group of girlfriends who are celebrating over 50 years of friendship together. Similar to our signets, their friendship is unique and timeless. The memories they have written together are now precious examples and lessons for female friendships that will be shared through the generations of woman that will come.

3. Chain Making

Arrange a forever chain with our selection of hand carved charms that have been brought to life by the Seelye team, links, stones, clasps and chains. We view this as a modern day charm necklace/bracelet, with the opportunity to even come back to the studio to continue adding to your piece.

  • The guests are the designers in this workshop, each spending time arranging their chain with pre carved wax charms and chains.

    At the end of the workshop, we will take your notes and chain arrangements into post production, where we will cast each piece and assemble. This workshop is ever changing. If you have a specific charm request, such as letters, please let us know. Every inch of these chains are custom made.

  • A chain making workshop is $300. At the workshop you will have a $150 credit towards your chain elements. The rest of the ticket costs is reserved for assembly fees and jump rings.

    Each element is priced out by the inch and weight of the individual charm. You have the power to invest as much as you want into the piece.
