One of the biggest challenges when traveling the world is buying so many souvenirs that you suddenly have to buy a bigger suitcase or leave a pair of shoes behind. Enter, Aisorashi, the perfect activity – solo or with friends – a tailored bespoke ring making class that you can carry with you effortlessly on your travels. Not only do you get an incredible experience with expert jewelers, you also get a keepsake from your travels that won’t take up any extra room in your luggage. 

If you find yourself in the Higashi Chaya District of Kanazawa Japan, you may stumble upon a quaint jewelry store called Aisorashi where you will find people making one-of-a-kind rings. Aiso Rashi means “cute, charming” in the Kanazawa dialect, which is the perfect definition for this experience and you are guaranteed to walk out with the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one.

This workshop will teach you the intricate techniques of metalwork and design, with no prior experience needed, all you have to bring is your passion and a desire to create! Choose between a range of materials (gold, silver & platinum), thickness (starting at 1mm), shapes (circle, square & octagon), sized perfectly to fit your chosen finger. Whether you have prior experience, or are a complete beginner, you will be expertly guided throughout the process to create something stunning with confidence! 

The team at Aisorashi not only fill you with confidence when creating your ring, they also make sure to capture the special moments for all, offering to take videos and photos of the process as you go along, so you can focus your creativity on designing the perfect ring. I could not recommend this experience enough, and the biggest smile is brought to my face every time I look down and see my ring.
