5 /5 Rowan Peffer: My friend and I went to a jewelry making class with Alexa and it was so fun, informative, and inspiring!! Alexa was a great teacher and took the time to explain all of the steps thoroughly and was so great to talk to!! I can’t wait to go back for another class and would highly recommend anyone to sign up — it’s the best feeling to create your own jewelry and this is the perfect environment to create! Thank you Alexa for your kindness and patience as we learned everything for the first time - we had SO MUCH FUN!!! xox

5 /5 Michaela: Me and my friend just took the ring making class here and we had a blast. Alexa was super friendly and patient with us, making sure we really understood each step. It was really cool to take such a unique class and learn a new skill. I came home with a beautiful ring. She also has some beautiful jewelry that she makes in the store. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Sam Strickland: I wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating the most beautiful engagement ring for me. When I first reached out to you, I had no real idea of what I wanted, but what you brought to life went far beyond anything I could have imagined. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the attention to detail is apparent in every facet of the ring. My fiancée absolutely adores it, and I can honestly say that seeing her face light up when I proposed was priceless. She said yes, and I know she will cherish this ring forever. Thank you for your dedication and expertise in making this moment so special. I’ll never forget how perfect everything turned out, and I’m so grateful for all of your hard work.

5 /5 Jared Kaneshiro: Take a silversmithing class with Alexa – she is an amazing teacher! My wife and I took a private lesson to make our wedding bands, and it was one of the best decisions we made leading up to the big day. Throughout our lesson, Alexa helped us with both technical instructions and even a little science to explain the how/why for the techniques we were using. On the day of the wedding, I retold the story of how the rings were made many times over – it was such a fun experience! Our rings have little imperfections here and there, and when I see them I am reminded of how proud I feel that we made them ourselves. We are so grateful to have these one-of-a-kind rings as symbols of all the things that we can create together for our married lives in the years to come.

5 /5 Noelle Marie: The amount of love I have for Common Ground is beyond measure. I make sure to visit and pick up a treasured piece (or two) every time I visit as a little treat. The vibe of this shop is all about tranquility and entering the space feels like a hug. I’d been wanting to take the silversmithing class for a while now but had put it off secondary to my own laziness. However, when Alexa had announced that jewelry making would no longer be offered as of January - well I jumped on it as soon as I could. This ended up being a birthday present from my wife. We chose to make rings as our beginner class and it was an ABSOLUTE JOY. Alexa is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from. She is patient, calm, limitlessly knowledgeable, and in love with her craft. She takes safety seriously and helped us through any of our concerns. What’s more, even when I totally did not follow instructions, Alexa was able to help fix my piece and did so with kindness. Our rings turned out beautifully and we are so so happy that we were able to experience this class before it ends. If you have the opportunity, sign up before January 1!! If not, make sure you go to Common Ground and check out all of the stunning jewelry available for purchase!!
