Liz reviewed: Sterling silver stacking rings for complete beginners

"Vivien made us most welcome and guided us through each stage of the process with warmth, encouragement and patience. I made a total of 7 beautiful and very wearable rings which I was very pleased with and Vivien was kind enough to re-solder two old rings of mine. Don't plan anything for the evening after a day course, you are bound to be late; Vivien let us stay until we had all completed our projects!"

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Hahaha, that's true, but if someone had told me you had plans for the evening it would have been a different matter - I would have put the radio on to stop all the chat, heeded my alarm and I definitely wouldn't have had time to do each of the repairs that the three of you brought in - you all asked so nicely I was happy to forego the fees. I'm sorry if I misjudged the situation - you had rearranged your meal and seemed comfortable. Running a workshop is quite organic so I very much appreciate your feedback and I'm very pleased you like your lovely rings"

Amy reviewed: Sterling silver stacking rings for complete beginners

"This was a brilliant course! Vivien was very knowledgeable and guided us through each part. The process and the end result was amazing! Would definitely recommend!"

"Thank you so much Amy! You and your mum Kay, were lovely company, I loved hearing about all the community work you both do. You make such a difference to the lives of so many youngsters, I am so pleased you decided to come over to make yourselves some beautiful silver rings, another story to add to the many in your collection 😊"

Jenni reviewed: Sterling Argentium Silver Workshop

"What a fabulous day. Viv is really patient and explains everything in detail. We had a lovely day and I, with a lot of help and support, made what I was hoping to make. I'm so happy. I wish I lived a bit closer so I could come to weekly classes but 2 hours either way is a little to much, even for me. Thank you Viv. "

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Jenni, for this lovely review! I am so pleased you enjoyed the day, you made some beautiful organic wrap around rings and what a creative story they tell 😊 The raw sapphire you set will be on its way to you with bail attached and I can only say thank you for the incredible and positive way you met all the challenges we came across. Thank you for a very enjoyable day 😊"

Gwenda reviewed: Young teen with adult, silver jewellery special - what will YOU make?

"My daughter and I had a lovely Adult and Teen day yesterday with Vivien. My best friend gave us the day as a gift and I'm very grateful. Vivien is a brilliant and inspiring teacher and coach. She is also great company and we really enjoyed our conversations as well as learning new skills and making our treasured pieces of jewellery. We made a beaten rings (which look professionally made, fit perfectly and catch the light just like in the course picture). Vivien also helped my daughter to personalise her rings and taught us how to work with sea glass and shells. I woke up on Mother's Day to a gorgeous set of new shell jewellery my daughter madec at home last night after our class. It was a beautiful day and we will be back. Thank you Vivien xx"

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Bowled over by this absolutely, lovely review! We had a really good day and once again I was amazed by how quickly young people absorb information, You were both brilliant students, using your initiative and solving problems - I had a cracking day, lovely company, so pleased you want to return for more creative fun. Thank you so much - it's days like this that make it all so very worthwhile ☺️ "
