Booked a private with friends and had an amazing time. Dominique was our instructor and she was friendly, sweet, and super helpful. We were there just over 2 hours and it was such a unique thing to do together. There was a great stone selection, one box had stones that were included, and another that had upgraded stones. For the ring + experience, it was well worth the money. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is such an amazing experience for anyone looking for something fun, crafty and unique to do. I brought my girlfriend here as a surprise bday gift. We booked a 2 hour class for 2 people which was perfect. The level of care, patience, and personalization we got was so nice. There's something about sipping on some coffee and making rings that's just so aesthetic. Keep in mind: - the basic band and basic (smaller stones) are what's included. - if you want a more intricate band, that's additional on top if you want a bigger stone or a stone not from the approved box, it'll be additional. - parking: there's plenty of metered parking, or park like 2 blocks down where there's street parking and don't worry about feeding the meter read more

It was so fun getting to learn how to make our own rings in their class! Our instructor Claire was AMAZING! She was so fun and gave us such clear and thoughtful instructions so we could make out perfect rings! I was nervous about some of the steps and messing up but she was so helpful and encouraging. My ring turned out just perfect! And my friend and I had such a fun afternoon making them together. Super recommend if you're looking for a creative and exciting new experience. read more

We came in for a private session for our date and it was a great experience! Our instructor Dom was super cool. She was patient and explained everything clearly and helped when we struggled lol. We made matching pinky rings. I think it was a great price for the experience and product! There were a lot of options you could pay extra for as well. We're already looking into the other classes they offer :) totally would recommend! read more

I booked a workshop for 2 on a Saturday with Claire. It was an anniversary gift for my girlfriend. I have no prior experience and my girlfriend has made similar jewelry before. You start by picking a stone and band. You can upgrade your band or stone for a small cost. Claire went over the safety and basics. The workshop is about 2 hours long. Overall, we had a blast and Claire was a great teacher throughout the process. Would recommend Hellbent Silversmith to anyone and everyone! read more

I went with a couple of girlfriends to make rings together to celebrate a birthday. We had such a fun time!

Really cool experience here a few weeks back. Our instructor was great and explained things really well and made sure everyone was comfortable with each step before moving on.

Recently took a silversmith workshop with Jady on a Sunday afternoon and it's safe to say I am absolutely hooked! The workshop was small and intimate with a total of 4 folks plus the instructor. It took us from about 1pm-ish to 3:30pm. It was well thought out and organized and each step was instructed as we went along with Jady to assist with anything, all materials included. You could choose your own stone from a smaller selection (which I love bc too many choices makes my head hurt), or upgrade for an additional fee. I read somewhere that choosing a small stone would be challenging with the machinery and so I am glad for my first one I did chose a larger stone. Jady even messaged the owner and she was able to tell us what the stone was so we could look up the meaning. Would be cool if those were labeled/organized in the future. I also chose to upgrade my band to a pretty sunflower band for an additional fee, only one band comes with the initial price point but I would say it's worth every penny, now I own something forever that I MADE!! I had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to do this again for a special occasion or with friends or if I want to make a unique special gift for someone. Patiently waiting for necklace and earring workshops as well. Don't forget to check out their selection of pre crafted Jewelry and if you're in the market for something custom. The icing on the cake- women owned as well. read more

The absolute coolest silversmith shop around. Small mom and pop shop with the best vibes all around. Ani is a legend and so rad to work with. Made a ring with her awhile back and had to get back in there for another project! Will for sure be signing up for a course soon. Thank you Ani and crew. Get over there and make some jewelry, you will not regret i! read more

I hardly ever write reviews but I know I needed to for the class I had yesterday! It was incredible. I had so much fun. My instructor Ashley was so knowledgeable and answered all my questions, which there wasn't any really because she did such a thorough job explaining the process and each step. The absolute hardest part was picking the stones and if I wanted to upgrade the band.....which I did. It was 100% worth it and is easily the most comfortable ring I own. I did a private lesson and as someone that can get distracted and overwhelmed by lots of people, it was perfect for me. There was some nice mellow music and I got to get lost in the process. If you are on the fence, JUST GO!!!!! It's worth it!!!! read more

The Hellbent Silversmith - Workshop for 2 Thanks again Ashley for your guidance! - Jewelry Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm giving this review 2 starts because I try and support women especially women of color. However as a business owner myself, I still think that the owner should be held accountable for her employees in part of making sure they are trained/supervised long enough to be able to hold private classes without her supervision, given it's just good business practice AND it's an expensive class that people like myself work long and hard to be able to afford. First and foremost I bought the private session as a birthday gift for my guests. I paid a pretty penny just for the class alone as well as the upgrades which is also unethical business practice to not be more transparent about how itty bitty the stones that are included in the service are. Which I can see this shop has been called out on before. To begin with, the instructor was rude from the very beginning, she literally opened the door took the business sign in, saw us standing there and said nothing. I had to essentially walk myself and my guests in where she proceeded to say "you can go to the back couch and wait there; that's where we will begin". A literal demand. I was infuriated with her tone and was about to just leave but for the sake of my guests I bit my tongue. Not once during the entire session did she ask for our names she literally just spoke the bare minimum that was required of her with a THICK negative vibe the ENTIRE time. I had to ask her; for her name and when I did she said it coldly and turned around and walked away. I seriously couldn't believe it, especially considering how much I paid. I would understand if there was a ton of people but it was a private class for just my small group. The class was decent as I'm sure she felt my tense tone and then and only then, did she begin to retract her attitude a bit. This experience was SO disheartening not only for me but for my guests that I wanted to have a good experience. For a second I wondered if this girl may be part owner as she definitely was acting like it. I've been following this shop since its inception and was so stoked to see how much it's grown I would avidly promote it to my friends / family and followers. I was even planning on booking a class for my employees for our annual work party as well, I will no longer be doing so. I wanted to call my bank and demand part of my money back but I don't want to take from a small business even though this small business has no problem taking my money. I recommend you find a shop that values their clients and values ethical business practices. I will NOT be returning. And please don't respond saying you can't find my name to make things better just do better. The last thing I want to do is put myself on blast. I'm only writing this review to make other people aware. *removing 1 more star for an owner discrediting a client experience because "no one else has had an issue" sounds like a utter gaslight and lack of accountability. But that's fine, you HAVE however been called out on the non transparency of the stones and you still fail to do better when your PAYING clients are clearly expressing a concern REPEATEDLY. Using your rhetoric of course. Also this establishment doesn't take cash and doesn't clearly list that. Also, maybe no one else wanted to take the time out of their day to write a review after already feeling disrespected, but again given that I too am a business owner I feel these types of things should be brought to the consumers attention, customer service has truly declined in recent years and your shop is no exception. Thank you for saying more about your shop & ethics in your response than I ever could. read more

This was so fun! We did the 2 hour class with Oona and we had such a great time. We made rings and we are both obsessed with them. Highly recommend! Super hands on and fun. read more

Such an amazing experience! Walked by the shop and saw the group class in session and was able to easily book online for a few weeks out. We were happily greeted by our wonderful instructor Claire who guided us through the class. She shared with us all the beautiful stone options and wonderful bands which we would later turn into our personalized rings! The class flowed smoothly and we learned so much about silversmithing from our instructor Claire! I was so impressed with the process and proud of what I had created! The quality of the materials and class will definitely have me back!! I truly am so impressed by this shop, feels like a hidden gem read more

My friend heard about a silversmithing class here after seeing a video on their IG. We were both excited to make our own custom ring! Their classes are in high demand, so they book up really fast. We had to wait a while to get into a class, but it was worth the wait! When we arrived, Brandi greeted us warmly & showed us a selection of gems we could pick from. There were little ones that were included in the price of the class, & bigger ones that were a little extra. Nothing was exorbitant - the most expensive was maybe $25. We could have also brought our own stone to set - as long as it has a flat back. After picking our stones & signing in on their iPad, we sat at a table with 2 other people, at workstations set up for us. Brandi showed us our ring & setting options, went over blowtorch safety, and patiently took us through each of the steps to make our rings. By the end of the 2-ish hour class, we had each made a beautiful custom ring for ourselves! Brandi was super helpful & made it really fun for us. It was such a cool class, & now I have a really pretty sterling silver ring that I made myself, that I would totally have been drawn to buying had I seen it someplace. The class size was 4 people - the perfect number to share a single blowtorch, & observe each other's work. You can join a class, get private instruction, or book a 4-person class for you & your friends. I highly recommend this for anyone! Couples, friends, and/or your own crafty self! read more

As a birthday gift, my daughter and husband' bought me a ticket to this silversmith class. I attended the class with my daughter on my birthday day. Class started at 10 am and we had to be there at least 10 min early. It's a small shop located in DT Long Beach. Only meter or garage parking in the area is available. We checked with the host and was told we needed to pick a stone. There are 2 trays. One with teeny tiny stones. Those are free, then there's another tray with bigger stones that range from 5 to 15 dollars, extra on top of the class fee. There's a wooden picnic style table with a wooden bench big enough for 8 people. The table has everything you need for the class. The class was about an hour long. All the material are supplied to you. However, there are different styles of bands to choose from. Some are free & most are an extra charge depending on the style. Our class only had 4 people so we had to share a torch between us. We had a great time and created beautiful rings. The class really puts a perspective on silversmiths works and you realize why silver jewelry is pricey. My last favorite part was the sanders, if you have acrylic nails this class isn't really for you as you may potentially damage or sand down your acrylics. You have to hold your ring to get sanded to get that silver shine and if you miss & sand your finger is like rug burn. The class for 2 is $250 with a $100 deposit to book your spot. They charge you at the end of class for the rest and add additional cost you picked up along the way. It was a great experience and you take come you're beautiful ring. Highly recommend, especially if you're into crafting. You get a discount at the store if you want to shop & buy something at the store on the same day of class. read more

Had a great time this afternoon with my Daughter. We were lucky enough to be instructed by Una. She was very informative and patient and glad that I took my first silversmithing instruction from her. Little did she know she would be helping us set a 36 carat all Natural piece of Courtland Turquoise. We will definitely set up another appointment to get further instruction and I would highly recommend this place to anybody. read more

I took the class with Claire and it was such a fantastic experience. The class was really fun and informative, and I learned so much about jewelry making. Claire was super helpful throughout the entire process and always made sure everyone felt supported. Her positive energy made the whole experience a pleasure from start to finish. I loved getting hands-on practice and seeing my design come to life. I am so happy with the ring I made in her class and wear it proudly. Every time I wear it, I get to think about this really great experience!! read more

I took a class that my friend booked as a surprise for me and I did enjoy it. The instructor (which I don't believe was the owner) was a bit rude but maybe that's her personality. The pricing was a bit on the high end but it's LB and I didn't pay so I wasn't upset. Now I do not recommend this business because the owner does not respect your views or wants your business unless you are a woke liberal. So much for the liberal being so inclusive She is incorrectly saying we live under a dictatorship. I wish she actually lived under one so she appreciated her country and was more accepting. So I don't recommend a business that outwardly posts misinformation and doesn't respect others who don't share the same political views. The owner is spreading misinformation, stating veterans are being sent away. The ones with criminal records were detained. She knows this but continues to add to false narrative. read more

Bought a $200 larimar ring and it was sent completely bent in the middle. Not sure if it's because the name is "hellbent" but definitely regret this purchase. The stone itself is loose in its placing. Guess I should have scheduled for the class to make the ring instead of buying a piece that was already made ‍. read more

booked a private class for my boyfriend and I for Valentine's Day & I'm stoked on how our rings turned out!

Hellbent silversmith is awesome! We loved every minute of our class. We didn't know what to expect since my gf and I had never made a ring. Our instructor Claire was so helpful and supportive throughout the process! She answered all our random questions. Even our classmates were great! Our rings came out awesome and now we have a great story to tell anytime we get compliments on our rings!!! This is the perfect date night, anniversary present, or just plain fun night with friends. I definitely recommend Hellbent and I will probably book with Claire again she was great. read more

The BEST place ever!! I have been following Hellbent's instagram forever and just loved everything about it. I asked my hubby if he would make rings for our 20th anniversary. He said hell yeah. I was so happy and booked it. Booking the private session was easy. I was able to schedule on our actual wedding anniversary date. So that was amazing. Ashley was our girl who helped us create the most wonderful memories and beautiful rings. Loved her personality and even though I was on the struggle bus making the rings she was super calming and encouraging. There were plenty of stone options and upgrades to help with making the ring just the way you wanted. We had so much fun and it was the best night to start out our anniversary weekend trip. I wear the ring daily and always brag about Hellbent Silversmith. Thank you for creating this experience for everyone to get together, make beautiful rings and memories. read more

Ani does amazing work with custom ring orders in my experience. I have ordered 2 custom rings and I don't have to think twice about the amount because you pay for quality craftsmanship, stones and a piece that will last you forever.

Ani is very warm, kind and welcoming upon walking in and I can't wait for my next purchase to continue supporting this small woman owned business. read more
