Me Myself & I
Firstly, I love wearing rings. I almost feel naked without them now! I started my ring-making journey back in 2014, after being taught by a friend how to make bentwood rings. Once I had made my first ring, I was hooked. As I spent hour after hour, day after day at my mini lathe, I loved that I was able to connect to a creativity that I didn’t know I had, making these really cool and unique rings that I got to mix and match with different outfits and occasions. I also loved being able to make rings for close friends and family. After making/turning rings for close to ten years now… let’s just say birthday and Christmas gifts for them are no longer so much of a surprise!

The Birth of RingCraftUK
As time went on, I wanted to explore new creative possibilities and work with a wider range of materials not readily available in Europe. This desire led to the birth of RingCraftUK.
In August 2019, I took a significant step forward by launching my first listings on Etsy. Starting small, I offered a limited variety of rings and opals. To my delight, I discovered that there were others searching for the same supplies to create their own unique rings.

With unwavering support from our community, we have grown our shop to what it is today. I express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your orders, support, advice, and patience. Your contributions have been vital in transforming RingCraftUK from a humble startup to a platform capable of providing a wider array of high-quality products.

Our Commitment to Quality
We have spent years developing relationships with incredible suppliers that have years of experience and the most up-to-date machinery necessary to create our flawless supplies. Our commitment to quality and durability is paramount. We believe that jewelry should not only be beautiful but also built to last. That’s why we use only the highest quality materials available on the market. With RingCraftUK, you can trust that you are investing in jewelry that is made to last.

Connecting with a Passionate Community
One of the greatest joys of this journey has been connecting with countless individuals who share our passion for crafting beautiful and unique keepsakes. Engaging in conversations, receiving feedback, exchanging ideas, and even sharing crafting secrets have all been incredible experiences. Your invaluable input has given us a deeper understanding of your needs and desires.

Playing a Role in Your Success
We are humbled to have played a role in helping some of you turn your part-time hobbies or passions into full-time professions or personal businesses. Your success stories inspire us to keep pushing boundaries and provide you with the tools and resources you need to thrive.

New Connections and Collaborations
Allow me to introduce Kai, my new employee and business partner. Our paths crossed in early 2023, and we are filled with excitement as we work together to take RCUK to new heights. Our ambitious goals include introducing new products in the coming years, ensuring that RingCraftUK becomes your ultimate destination for all your ring crafting needs.

Furthermore, I am thrilled to announce our partnership with Thomas from Bentwoodringsupplies.com. Thomas has dedicated the last five years to designing, developing, and manufacturing a wide range of brilliant tools tailored specifically for ring making.

By collaborating with Thomas, we can now distribute his tools and supplies directly from the UK. This collaboration will save you from enduring long delivery times, customs issues, and import fees. We believe his offerings are a fantastic addition to our shop, and we hope you agree!
