“With These Rings” gives couples the opportunity to make their own wedding bands through private instruction. PNW jeweler, Stephanie Tomczak Selle, invites you into her studio and guides you every step of the way in creating your own custom wedding bands. You will work together from the initial design process to fabricating beautiful, handmade, professional quality rings. By making each others rings they will be rich with your own memories and love, in a way that store bought rings never can.
With These Rings is located in Port Townsend, a Victorian seaport town on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. We are less than two hours from Seattle and about three and a half from Portland, OR. But we are happy to say that work with couples from all over the country! Please visit our website for travel information to the Pacific Northwest.

Stephanie simply offers a masterclass experience for anyone & everyone. My fiancee and I were astounded with Stephanie's professionalism, knowledge, and most of all, her ability to convey that precious knowledge in a succinct way to pedestrian jewelers like ourselves.
Her encouragement & clarity was perfection from start to finish. We had to reschedule several times due to the unexpected interruption of this little thing called Covid-19. She malleably navigated the swift shifts of the pandemic with grace & clear communication.
I could not recommend Stephanie & her craft any higher. My partner & I will sacredly remember our time with Stephanie for the rest of our lives. Go be a jeweler for a day, you'll thank yourselves for the rest of your life.

An experience we will always treasure!
We've always known that we wanted to make our own wedding rings, so this is something that we prioritized as we've budgeted and planned our wedding. While we were mainly very excited, Stephanie made the process incredibly smooth - we trusted her completely to guide us along to create beautiful, customized pieces. We loved working with her!
In particular:
- Stephanie is very upfront and transparent about cost. She was also very communicative regarding what customizations were possible, as well as which of those customization decisions needed to be made upfront vs what we could decide during the workshop. My fiancé and I had gone to a local jeweler to see what we liked, and Stephanie helped us create ideal versions of each others' rings based on that (my fiancé asked for a "European comfort fit" and I wanted milgrain edges added to mine).
- Stephanie empowered us to feel confident doing as much on our own as we felt comfortable with, but checked in regularly and was always there to step in and help. It was very difficult to mess up or do something wrong.
- We loved being able to try on our rings during the session and make adjustments throughout. For instance, I was able to put on my wedding band on along with my engagement ring and see what it would feel like to have a tighter vs looser ring, as well as change my mind about the finish.
- We were able to use Stephanie's bluetooth speaker to play music throughout the workshop, which helped create a fun environment for us.
- Getting away to Port Townsend and making something tangible with our hands was a fantastic break amidst what has been a very stressful time. It was nice having something we were looking forward to doing for our wedding.
- Stephanie is so friendly and easy to talk to, and had great recommendations for our stay in Port Townsend, from where to stay, to what to eat and do. On top of that, she uses her social platform to support local business and advocate for just causes, which was just icing on top of the cake for us!
If you are considering doing this, I highly encourage you to check Stephanie out - we know that we will treasure this experience, and our rings, forever.

What a unique and special experience for us both!
We were looking for wedding bands when the idea came to me that we should make each other ring's and a quick internet look up and With These Rings came right on top, beside being very close to Seattle and in lovely town of Port Townsend! I reached our to Stephanie who was very quick in responding, knowledgable and she answered my million questions and guided me through what we eventually landed on. We setup a day to come out and what an amazing time we had. We had to postpone our wedding for the safety of our guests BUT this was one thing that didn't have to wait and we were so glad it happened. Stephanie's studio was in cozy and you could tell how much thoughts she put into it. She guided us thoroughly on cutting metal, how to wield, what each step meant etc and occasionally giving recommendation on how to bend the metal to achieve the look we wanted. By the end of it, we made each other's rings and felt like a true artist. I can't recommend enough With These Rings!!!
PS: Port Townsend is awesome and do yourself a favor and go check our local shops and businesses and support them, or ask Stephanie for recommendation of awesome LUNCH SANDWICH spots. You will see a strong sense of community while you're here, and don't take my word for it :)
