About this experience
Private ring making class Florence with a take-home wax model
Step inside the Florence Goldsmith Workshop experience of Master Alessandro Dari, one of Italy’s most celebrated goldsmiths. Set inside the historic Nasi-Quaratesi Palace, his atelier also functions as a living museum, filled with handcrafted jewelry, symbolic details, and the artistic atmosphere that defines Florence’s goldsmith tradition.
This private 3-hour experience begins with a guided visit to the atelier-museum, where guests discover the inspirations and creative vision behind Alessandro Dari’s work. You then move to the jeweler’s bench for the hands-on part of this ring making workshop Florence, shaping and refining your own ring model using the traditional lost-wax technique under expert guidance. The session is intimate, practical, and well suited to travelers looking for a private jewelry workshop Florence in a real artisan setting.
By the end of the workshop, you leave with the wax model of your design and a deeper appreciation for Florentine goldsmithing. This private ring making class Florence is rooted in craft rather than mass tourism, and for guests interested in a lost wax ring workshop Italy, it offers a clear introduction to the technique in one of the city’s most distinctive ateliers.
