The Proposal Workshop: Forge the Ultimate Surprise

Perfect For: The modern romantic who believes the greatest gestures are the most personal ones. This is for the person planning a once-in-a-lifetime marriage proposal and looking for a story that is profoundly unique and unforgettable.

Description: Imagine the moment. You get down on one knee, open the box, and instead of saying, "I bought this for you," you say, "I made this for you."

Welcome to The Proposal Workshop, our most intimate, secretive, and meaningful experience. This is your chance to go beyond the traditional and forge your promise into the very metal of the engagement ring. You will work with us in a completely private, one-on-one session to design and handcraft a beautiful, unique engagement ring for your partner.

We will not only be your expert guides through the ancient craft of jewelry making, but also your co-conspirators in planning the perfect surprise. This is more than a workshop; it's the beginning of your engagement story—a story you will tell for the rest of your lives.

The Secret Mission: Your Journey from Idea to "Yes"

We've designed this experience to be seamless, confidential, and incredibly rewarding. Here is your step-by-step guide to creating the ultimate surprise.

Step 1: The Confidential Consultation (The Plan)

It all starts with a secret. We'll connect for a private virtual or in-person consultation to discuss your partner's style, your vision, and your budget. We'll help you choose the right materials—from sustainable recycled silver to timeless gold—and select the perfect ethically sourced diamond or gemstone.

During this step, we’ll also outline the two creative paths for your ring:

• The Workshop Path: You create the entire ring by hand during your workshop, from shaping to polishing. We’ll guide you through each step. After the workshop, we will set the stones (this usually takes about one extra day) and then send the ring for hallmarking (a few additional days). This path is faster and more accessible, but works best with a selection of limited, workshop-friendly designs. May take two workshop sessions.
  
• The Fine Jewelry + Workshop Path: For more refined and intricate rings, we’ll first create a 3D design and cast the ring in metal. In your private workshop, you will then bring the cast piece to life by adding the final touches yourself — sanding, polishing, texturing. Afterward, we will set the stones (again, about one day) and send the piece for hallmarking (a few additional days). This path gives you access to unlimited design possibilities.
  

Step 2: The Cover Story (Optional)

If you need a believable reason to be busy for a few hours, we can help you create one. We're experts at keeping a secret.

Step 3: The Private Workshop (The Creation)

You'll join us in our Lisbon atelier for your completely private, one-on-one crafting session. You don't need any experience. We will guide your hands through every step to ensure your ring is flawless — whether you’re creating it fully from scratch or giving the final touches to a cast piece.

Step 4: The Final Touches (The Reveal Plan)

As we put the finishing touches on the ring, we'll also act as your personal proposal consultants. Whether you need ideas for the perfect romantic spot in Lisbon or advice on how to capture the moment, we're here to help you plan the magical reveal.

Step 5: The Treasure (The Ring)

Once the creation is done – you will receive not just a story, but a stunning, handcrafted engagement ring, presented in a beautiful, proposal-ready box. You’ll be armed with the confidence that you are about to give a gift that is truly priceless.
