You’re more than ready to finally give space to that creative part of you that’s been quietly waiting for years.
You want to create rings that feel like you, personal, organic, and real, without getting stuck in overthinking or perfectionism.
At the same time, you’re looking for a clear starting point, so you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. You want to feel confident in your tools and choices, instead of getting lost in endless scrolling on YouTube and still doubting yourself.
You want to stop hesitating and start making, to trust your hands, your ideas, and your creative instinct again.
Because this isn’t just about trying something new. You want to feel that sense of flow, to create something you’re truly proud of, and to take the first real step towards building your own collection.
Wax to Shine Live is NOT a hobby course.
It’s the foundation, the start of making jewelry independently from wax.
"If I do this, I want to do it properly."
Many women in this program have carried this desire for five to ten years.
They have ideas, have done research, attended workshops, but have never completed the full process on their own.
And that’s exactly where the difference lies.
As long as you don’t master the entire process, from design to finished silver ring, you remain dependent.
In Wax to Shine Live, you don’t just learn how to make a ring. You learn how the system works, so you can continue building multiple designs and ultimately create your own collection. -

Wax to Shine Live Build-Up
This is a 10 week journey from your first design to your own silver signature piece with hand set stone.
You start with blue wax, adding layer onto layer.
You end with a silver ring that you designed, shaped, had cast, and finished yourself.
But more importantly:
You understand every step in the process.
And that’s what makes the difference between a hobby and a craft.
"I don’t want to get lost in tools and costs."
You’ll receive a clear tool list with exactly what you need to start professionally, without unnecessary investments.
Your Starter Kit costs around €120.
Your optional bezel stone setting add on costs €40
And you can add additional tools for each setting, as you progress.
With this, you can make not only this ring but also your next 100 designs.
You’ll also learn how much silver costs, how to calculate casting costs and selling prices, and where to find reliable suppliers.
This means that from the very beginning, you’ll start thinking like a maker, not a hobbyist.
"I want to know if I can really do this."
This program requires about 2 to 3 hours per week.
You work at your kitchen table or desk, because this way of making jewelry literally fits in a box.
We have four live Zoom sessions where you get feedback, ask questions, and show your work.
The group is very small, so you’re not just a number, you get real guidance.
"What happens if I have a question in between the Zoom calls?"
You are invited to join the FB group, where you can ask all your questions. I will be there regularly to answer each one of them.
If you fall behind, I’ll reach out.
Not to check on you, but because this desire has often been waiting for years to be acted on. I want you to succeed, and I truly believe anyone can do this! -
