No, you don’t. Our course is designed so that you can make a ring without any special tools or materials. In fact, you only really need a utility knife to cut the veneer—if that can even be considered a tool.

The course is also designed to suit everyone, regardless of whether you have prior woodworking experience or not. We guide you step by step through the entire process of making a wooden ring.

Yes, you can. Our course is designed to be completed at your own pace. You can study anywhere, anytime—on your own schedule.

The course is taught by Jari Paretskoi, a jewelry designer behind Design by Paretskoi, known for handcrafted wooden rings and wood–precious metal combinations. Jari first picked up carving at the age of three, and has been creating in the workshop ever since. He has been making wooden rings for several years and has also taught the method in various educational institutions—so you can be confident you’re in good hands.

Hundreds of people have already purchased the course, and we’ve received excellent feedback. We’ll support you throughout the entire process if any questions come up. The best way to reach us is by email.

The timeline depends entirely on you. Without inlays, it takes Jari about an hour to make a wooden ring—but that comes with a lot of experience.

Your first ring may take much longer, and that’s completely fine. As with anything, practice makes perfect—and your second ring will already be much quicker than the first!

Most of the materials can be purchased from larger supermarkets and general stores. You won’t need any special tools for this course.

The course consists of clear modules that you can complete entirely at your own pace, and you can always return to earlier sections whenever needed.

The course is available to you for 6 months from the date of purchase.

Yes, you can! We are generally available on weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM Finnish time, and we aim to respond to emails within 2 business days. We’re always happy to help!

As this is a digital product, we unfortunately cannot offer refunds or a satisfaction guarantee. However, the feedback from our customers has been exceptionally positive, and we truly believe you’ll enjoy the course.

Yes! You’ll learn how to make a ring that can withstand everyday use—you won’t need to take it off when washing your hands or using hand sanitizer.

We use the bentwood method, which creates an incredibly strong structure, so you don’t need to worry about normal daily bumps and wear.

Thanks to the coating, the ring is also resistant to water, soap, hand sanitizer, and most everyday chemicals—except acetone.

In the basic course, you’ll learn how to make a durable bentwood ring from start to finish without inlays, but we also offer separate inlay courses. The English versions of the inlay courses are coming in the early summer of 2026.

Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals and want to take your skills further, the advanced courses will teach you how to incorporate materials such as antler, different metals in various styles, stone, and more into your rings.

The course is taught in Finnish with clear and easy-to-follow English subtitles on all videos. All written materials are in English, so you can follow along comfortably.
