Background

I started the Ring a Month challenge on 31st December 2018 as a way to get myself to commit to making something consistently for a year. I honestly thought that it would just be me and a few of my jeweller friends that would join in but it quickly snowballed; more and more people from all over the world started to join in and by the end of January, just a few weeks later, more than 100 rings had been created and shared. Since then, hundreds of jewellers have created 1000s of rings as part of the challenge. We even created a 2020 wall calendar featuring the work of 31 jewellers from around the world. You can find out more about the 2020 calendar project here >

Thank you to everyone that has taken part. I love looking out for your rings every day on Instagram and Facebook and have been inspired by your creations.

How do I join in?

Everyone is welcome using any material or jewellery-making discipline, whatever your level of experience, wherever you are in the world!

The challenge is completely free.

By joining the challenge you commit to making and sharing one ring every calendar month for 2023.

That's it! Please only share a ring that you made that month, rings made previously don't count!

There are two options for joining in with the challenge, using Facebook or Instagram.

Join the private Facebook group here and post a picture of your ring when you’re done. Work in progress shots are also welcome as are blog posts on your work
