'Make a Silver Ring' Workshop on Tower Bridge Road


Join myself (Ros Millar) and fellow jeweller Milena Kovanovic  (Crucible London) as we show you how to make your very own silver ring by spending an evening or afternoon getting creative and jewellery making. 

We will guide you through the process of making a ring using traditional goldsmithing techniques such as annealing, forging, soldering, and filing to name but a few. Over the course of the class you will be given the opportunity to practice your newfound skills, before making your final silver ring.

Come and enjoy this 2 1/2 hour workshop with a glass of bubbly and sweet treats to toast the evening in style. 

With a maximum of eight people in any one session, you can rest assured that there’ll be plenty of opportunity for one-on-one interaction jewellers. 


The workshop will take place in a hidden, heated and covered garden, housed at the back of my (recently opened) jewellery store ‘Kas & Ros’.

N.B Tickets are non-refundable. Suitable for complete beginners with no previous jewellery making experience.

To book your ticket and view range of classes and dates visit here.

My New Store 'Kas & Ros'




After months of searching, building and renovating I am super excited to announce that I opened my first store 'Kas & Ros'.  Located on Tower Bridge Road in London, I teamed up with jewellery brand 'Kasun London'.


'Kas & Ros' is a jewellery store in London located on the iconic Tower Bridge Road. Created by two award winning designers from different design backgrounds this venue provides a range of new innovative luxury retail experiences under one roof.  Showcasing both their own personal collections while offering a bespoke and intimate design service, the talented proprietors also provide a range of classes and events from their roofed garden located at the back of the store. 

Kasun Ekanayake of jewellery label 'Kasun London' is a Sri Lankan born designer who grew up in New Zealand. Originally from an industrial design background Kas works using new technologies involving computer aided design, while Northern Irish born designer and maker Ros Millar draws upon her extensive jewellery and metalwork experience to apply traditional handcrafted techniques.

The two, now London based designers, have their work stocked by independent boutiques across, UK, USA, Hong Kong & China. Their jewellery has featured in publications from the top fashion press and continues to rank as a favourite choice amongst celebrities. They hold a spread of awards between them, and now for the first time collaborating under one design umbrella of "Kas & Ros" are placed to combine their skills from new technologies alongside traditional techniques and offer them in their new and fascinating retail outlet. 

Customers will be able to meet the socially conscious pair and buy from their collections while benefiting from one to one consultation with both designers who will be working on site, applying their talents, one via their computer screen and the other on their jewellery bench. '
Opening Hours - Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday : Appointment Only, Thursday & Friday 12 - 6.30pm, Saturday 10am - 5pm, Sunday 12 - 5pm.
