Exclusive Report on the Popular Workshop “Kekkon Yubiwa Tezukuri.com”
— Where You Can Make Your Own Wedding Rings Much to Talk About
Hello, I’m Naoko Yamamoto, a reportage writer. Recently, there’s a workshop quietly becoming popular through social media and word of mouth: Kekkon Yubiwa Tezukuri.com (“Make Your Wedding Ring.com”). Here, you can actually make your own wedding ring on site—and even if something goes wrong, there’s a method in place to ensure peace of mind.
Today I visited in person and report here from a participant’s perspective. I hope that by the end, you’ll be thinking, “I want to make my ring here!”
1. What Makes It Popular: Approachability and Peace of Mind
✅ Reason #1: Support by professional artisans makes it reassuring
Above all, what stands out is the careful guidance by experienced staff. Even couples who are totally new to this can feel at ease. From using the tools to design consultation, everything is handled with kindness and patience.
✅ Reason #2: They use Lost‑Wax Casting, not Mokume Gane
Instead of Mokume Gane, this workshop uses lost‑wax casting. The steps are: you carve a wax model by hand → make a mold from that wax (with plaster etc.) → cast in metal.
Advantages include:
- You can reshape or redo things if you’re not satisfied
- Design modifications are easy
- The nuances of your hand (texture, shape, small personal quirks) remain in the final ring
- The whole process is simple and understandable
It’s beginner-friendly, so people who’ve never done anything like this before can relax and enjoy.
✅ Reason #3: Takes only about 3‑4 hours; many locations and even online options
Workshops are held in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, etc. Since it takes roughly 2‑3 hours on site, it fits well with weekend plans or trips.
2. My Experience: Onsite Capture
10:00 AM. Arriving at a serene private studio
Arriving at the studio, I see a couple already chatting with smiles. The workspace, wooden benches, the tools—all are neatly arranged; everything feels clean and calm.
You’re greeted by the owner, Mr. Takada, who says with a smile, “Relax! Just enjoy the process.” The guidance flows easily.
Choosing ring size first
Fingers swell, size can vary, so it’s recommended to choose a size slightly looser for long term comfort.
Design consultation → Wax carving
Husband: “Something simple, but with gentle curves…”
Wife: “I might like a V‑shape a little bit!”
They sketch, the staff give advice, the image becomes clearer, and carving begins. Using files and carving wax, the shape starts to take form more easily than expected.
Redo allowed — a real relief!
“Oh, this might be too thick…”
If one partner feels something needs adjusting, the staff smoothly make corrections there and then. For example, someone said, “Can you soften the inner edge a bit more?” Immediately done. It gives a strong feeling of being looked after.
Then comes choosing gems or engraving. Many choose the partner’s birthstone inside, or inscribe the registration date inside the band.
3. Process until Finish: Workshop Flow
Step | Approximate Time |
---|---|
Wax selection | ~10 minutes |
Design consultation | ~20 minutes |
Carving (wax work) | ~1‑2 hours |
Final check & minor adjustments | ~30 minutes |

Afterwards: Delivery of the finished ring
Casting is done in a workshop in Kyoto, about 4 weeks later. Final polishing is done by artisans, so you can leave your ring “hands‑free” and collect when it’s ready.
4. Voices from Participants & What Stands Out
- Emotional moments from couples
“When we were carving shape, I felt like I was carving our shared future.”
“Knowing I could redo something gave me courage to be bold. It’s going to be a memory forever.” - Photo opportunities are perfect
The workspace background, the moment filings fly, the wax dust—it all makes for Instagram‑worthy shots.
5. Why the Lost‑Wax Casting Method Fits So Well
The biggest appeal of this method is its balance of freedom and allowance for redo.
- Don’t like the shape? You can refile or carve again.
- Simple but personal: your own hand’s subtle features appear in the wax.
- The shine and durability are professional quality. A good range of materials (Pt950, Pt900, K14 etc.).
- Gem‑setting and surface finishes can be ordered (at extra cost).
Even without techniques like Mokume Gane, you get the feeling of “a ring polished by professionals” with real craftsmanship.
6. Pricing and Things to Watch
- Price: from ~ ¥100,000 for a pair (varies by material and specification)
- Time: 3‑4 hours for the experience; full ring arrives in ~4‑5 weeks
- What to bring/wear: clothing is casual okay; you can wear your accessories
- Important: Once you decide to move forward into casting, cancellation is usually not possible. Final design choices must be made during the workshop.
7. Summary: It Becomes a Memory Because You Make It Together
It’s more than buying. Taking time together to make the ring transforms it from decoration into a keepsake of your story.
Kekkon Yubiwa Tezukuri.com is one of the most welcoming workshops for first‑timers wanting handmade wedding rings, providing both quality and experience.
If you’re thinking “What a great event idea!” or “I want to make my engagement or wedding rings together,” this is a workshop I strongly recommend.
