A delightful one hour workshop and beautiful rings to keep - We had the best experience at Gentil hand-making our own rings. My partner and I turned up not knowing what to expect and we couldn’t have been more delighted. From the delicious coffee on arrival to the gorgeous rings we have to take home, we were so happy with the one hour workshop. The Gentil staff were incredibly kind and even took photos and videos of us working away on our rings. We came away with matching engraved rings that beautifully commemorate our time in Kanazawa.

The ring-making... - The ring-making experience was so fun! The ladies were very nice, and it was super English-friendly. It takes about an hour, and they even offer coffee while you work. Highly recommend!

Unique and fun experience! - So much fun! We didn’t really know what to expect, but we literally watched/helped with making rings from scratch that turned out really well! Plus, we got to hit things with a hammer - always fun! The two women in the shop were so lovely and made our time both comfortable and fun. Plus, our ring maker took some really great photos and videos of us in action. Thank you!

Great and caring - I conquer this creative workshop! It was a great time, even if I was alone (no one accompanied me) I felt welcome and very quickly comfortable thanks to the kindness of the speakers. The ring is also too pretty and I was encouraged from the beginning to the end of the workshop it was a very good time.

Ring Making Workshop - We thoroughly enjoyed our ring making workshop at Gentil, we selected our ring material, thickness and texture, we got to witness the base rings being created and then added the texture ourselves. The environment in the store was lovely, and it was a lovely and special experience, with a unique momento of our time in Kanazawa. The extra touches and kind, attentive service of the staff hosting the workshop really made it unique. They took lovely photos and presented the finished rings on a beautiful arrangement as well as a lovely keepsake pouch and polishing cloth. Thank you so much.

Good value, and very pleasant experience - The ring itself is made out of a nice metal that will hold up. The experience was memorable and the women working there were very kind and sweet. I made the ring for my sister as a souvenir, but I could see this being really cute for couples.
