Taking your first jewelry-making class can feel equal parts exciting and intimidating. You might be wondering: Will this be too hard? What if I’ve never done anything like this before? Will I actually leave with something I love? The good news? Choosing the right first class makes all the difference and the right class should leave you feeling confident, accomplished, and inspired to keep creating! Here’s how to pick your first jewelry class and why our Stacker Ring Class is hands-down the best place to begin.
1. Look for a Class That’s Beginner-Friendly (Without Feeling “Basic”)
Your first jewelry class should be designed with true beginners in mind. No experience required, no pressure to already “know” anything. At the same time, it should still feel elevated. The Stacker Ring Class hits that sweet spot. You’ll learn foundational metalsmithing skills; measuring, sawing, forming, soldering, and polishing without being overwhelmed. These are core techniques that translate beautifully into future jewelry projects, making this class a strong creative foundation.
2. Choose a Project You’ll Actually Wear One of the most important questions to ask is:
Will I want to wear what I make? Stacker rings are timeless, and versatile.In this class, you’ll create three custom rings in sterling silver (with the option to upgrade to gold-filled), designed to be worn together or mixed into your everyday jewelry rotation. There’s nothing more empowering than wearing jewelry you made with your own hands. I can’t tell you how many people have complimented my jewelry & I get to say, “Thanks! I made it!”.
3. Find a Supportive, Guided Experience
Your first jewelry class should feel welcoming, not intimidating. The best classes offer clear instruction, patient guidance, and room for creativity so you can relax and enjoy the process. At Simply Creative, our stacker ring class is intentionally small and supportive. We guide you through each step while encouraging exploration. Questions are welcome, mistakes are part of the process, and confidence builds naturally as you work.
4. Start with Instant Gratification (But Real Craftsmanship)
Some jewelry techniques require weeks of practice before results feel satisfying. A great first class should offer both immediate success and real craftsmanship. The stacker ring class delivers both. In just one session, you’ll walk away with finished, polished rings while still experiencing the magic of traditional metalsmithing.
5. Why the Stacker Ring Class Is the Perfect First Jewelry Experience
If you’re curious about jewelry making but unsure where to start, the stacker ring class is the perfect entry point because it’s: Beginner-friendly with no prior experience needed Skill-building, teaching foundational techniques Highly wearable, with three custom rings to take home Confidence-boosting, leaving you proud of what you’ve made A great experience to try alone, with your bestie or a group of friends.
