AIGIS — Hand-Made Wedding & Pair Ring Workshop in Omotesando

What You’ll Experience

AIGIS Omotesando is a hand-made ring workshop on the fourth floor of a building in Jingumae, walking distance from both Omotesando and Meiji-jingumae Stations. The studio specializes in wedding bands and pair rings, and offers two distinct methods that lead to very different finished pieces:

• Forging (鍛造): Striking and bending a straight metal bar into a ring shape. This produces a denser metal with a hammered surface and is the technique most associated with traditional bridal smithing.
• Wax carving: Sculpting a wax model of the ring’s shape, which is then cast in metal. This allows for more elaborate designs — bezels, set stones, sculpted profiles — than forging permits.

You choose the method at booking based on what kind of ring you want, and the workshop pairs you with an instructor who guides the entire 3-to-4-hour session. The flagship offering is the “cheerful ring” wedding band at ¥39,000 per ring (tax included), with metal upgrades and stone settings available as options.

For couples, the studio runs the session as a paired experience — both partners work on their respective rings in parallel, with the instructor moving between them. Many plans allow same-day take-home; for stone-setting and certain casting tiers, the finished piece is delivered shortly after.

• Engaged couples making their own wedding bands together
• Anniversary couples marking a milestone with hand-made pair rings
• Travelers spending a day in Omotesando-Harajuku who want a hands-on memento

Hareto’s Take

Tokyo has dozens of make-your-own ring workshops, and most of them lock you into a single technique. AIGIS Omotesando’s edge is offering both forging and wax carving in the same studio — meaning a couple making different ring profiles (one minimalist, one with a set stone) can both go through the workshop together rather than splitting visits. The Hareto Score of 95 reflects this dual-method depth, the Omotesando location, and the dedicated wedding-band program. If you’re a couple making your own bands in Tokyo, this is the workshop we recommend.
