Indulge in a bespoke jewellery-making experience as you design and bead your very own freshwater pearl bracelet under the guidance of pearl jeweller Rayane Chami from Ray Makes Things.  Following a brief introduction to the history and allure of pearls, from their natural beauty to their enduring symbolism, you’ll explore an abundant selection of lustrous freshwater pearls in a range of shapes, sizes, and tones to compose your personal design.

Ray will guide you through the process of stringing and balancing your pearls. Once your strand is perfectly beaded, Ray will complete your bracelet with 925 sterling silver findings, transforming your creation into a timeless, handcrafted adornment to cherish.

All materials will be provided. No experience necessary. Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine as you ensemble your creation.
