My husband and I had the best experience making our wedding bands here! The Make Made store/workshop is so pretty and well designed. We were walked through the process of making rings step by step, and they are gorgeous! I definitely would like to return and try one of the stores other workshops, or order some custom jewelry from them!

WOW! We did a private wedding band workshop with Danielle Miller and it was such an incredible, special, and memorable experience! She worked with us ahead of time to design our custom rings and order the gold that we wanted. We ended up spending the entire day with her (>10 hrs) and it was an absolute blast! We had so much fun learning about jewelry making and it was so meaningful to make each others rings and be able to engrave the insides. Danielle made sure that we had autonomy in our ring making yet also supervised us sufficiently so that the rings looked perfect and designer quality by the end of the day. The cost of this workshop and metal was totally reasonable and comparable to what we would have spent to just buy a normal ring. We also made the whole weekend as a special trip to Greenville (we had never been to Greenville before) and were more than impressed by all that the town has to offer (it is a hidden gem of a town). Danielle gave us great restaurant recommendations and gave us time to explore and have a quick lunch break in the middle of the day. This was such a special experience and weekend and we hands down would recommend it to anyone getting married and wanting to make their own rings and have a fun weekend together!

I found Danielle online while looking for something special and unique to do for our wedding bands. I surprised my finance with Danielles class for his birthday back in June. We drove up on a Friday from Richmond, VA and spent the weekend in Greenville. Danielle was such a wonderful teacher. She took her time to explain how to do everything and was extremely knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed spending the day with her and making our rings. We had an absolute blast and we have a new found respect for those in the jewelry making business. We hope to be back in Greenville soon and stop by and see Danielle soon!

I have taken 5 classes at Make Made and have been so happy with every piece I have from those classes. Danielle and Katie are wonderful teachers and very accomplished artists. The instruction I received has been outstanding. As a retired public school teacher, I feel qualified to give Danielle and Katie 5 stars! They both make me feel welcome and go above and beyond to make sure that the jewelry pieces I create in their studio are professional looking....... despite my inexperience! I will be a regular at Make Made!

This was an amazing experience! We went to the Wedding Ring Workshop where we were one on one with the instructor (Danielle). My husband and I got to make a memory and a lifelong piece of jewelry! Danielle was great. She definitely knows her stuff and is right there with you along the way. We ranted and raved about the experience and know every time my husband looks down at his hand, he has a reminder that we are in this together!. We even got to engrave the inside of his ring at no additional cost! Danielle was confident in our ability to finish the ring and it turned out better than we could have imagined!

Working with Danielle and Katie was absolutely wonderful. They were very careful to listen to my needs throughout the planning process and they explained things simply so I didnt feel overwhelmed. I spent months working with them as we planned out my engagement ring design from scratch.The result? My fiancée loved the ring and I couldnt have been happier with the whole process. Things can get pricier here but youre paying for very high quality.I would encourage people to support Make Made as they are a local small (woman-owned) business instead of just going to one of the big diamond store chains down the block. I cannot recommend them enough!

We traveled from Philadelphia to Greenville to make our weddings rings at Make MadeJewelry . Both my fiancé and I agree that it was one of the best experiences that we ever had. Danielle is absolutely amazing! She makes you feel so comfortable immediately and is very patient walking you through the process. It was incredibly special to make each other’s rings and we could not be happier with the end results. We highly recommend this workshop with Danielle.

Katie and Danielle have made my experience so phenomenal for my (now) fiancé. We went into the shop while visiting Greenville. Upon meeting Katie, I was comforted by the customer service and how much trust was created in showing what they could do. As someone that wanted to build a custom engagement ring, they took a few inspirational photos and drafted several options and followed them up with CAD drawings. They worked within my budget and made sure they broke down each expense before we got started. When it was time to purchase the diamonds, they gave me several options through a customized website to understand the positives and negatives of each and guided me to the best diamond (not necessarily the most expensive). My fiancé found lab-made/ethical diamonds essential for her ring which they were happy to accommodate and explained for me the 4 C’s and they differences. They even allowed me to have the diamonds “on memo” just in case they were poorly rated and allowed Katie and Danielle to analyze them for themselves. Upon drafting, building, casting and setting, they stayed within my timeline (even finished a week early). They were helpful around my work schedule to video conference and go over each step in the process. Not only has my fiancé purchased a beautiful set of earrings, built a stunning engagement ring, and now crafting my wedding band. We will continue to support MMJ for years to come. If you are looking to have a custom piece created but don’t know a lot about jewelry, diamonds/stones or how exactly to move towards the next step, Katie and Danielle are the way to go!

I loved working with Katie! She took the vision in my head to create a custom wedding ring and turned it into a beautiful reality! She worked very closely with me to customize my ring using family heirlooms and turning them in to something I love! I have also taken some of her workshops and they are so fun, and a great way to get some ladies together, or go solo and make something for yourself!!

Katie does truly incredible work. She made an incredible engagement ring for my wife and endured hours of listening to my vision for the ring. She also took a lot of time to find the perfect diamond that fit the vision we had dreamed up.She also made our wedding bands, which are simple and very beautiful.Katie should be making your jewelry. She is incredibly talented and you wont be disappointed!

Katie is brilliant at helping me envision and create the jewelry I want, or repurposing what I already have. She provides hands-on, attentive, customer service, and does so on the budget I give her. Shes the only jeweler I use in Greenville.

Katie made my husband’s wedding band, and it was the most amazing experience. He had a very specific idea of what he wanted to do, while incorporating his fathers wedding band. Katie came through in such a huge way. She took time to talk to us about the best options that fit his lifestyle and his vision. What came out of those discussions was a wedding band that far exceeded our expectations. We are in love with the band!! It is so special and unique. If you are considering using Katie for your jewelry need, do not hesitate, I am beyond sure she will blow you away with her creations.

My fiancé worked with Katie to design my custom engagement ring, and he just RAVED about how wonderful she was to work with. He said she was flexible, kind, and very creative. Now that I have my ring, I know what he meant! It is exactly what we wanted. She took our dream and turned it into a reality. Now that I am designing his wedding band, she was the first person I contacted. I absolutely recommend MAKE MADE for anyone looking for personal, considerate service!

Katie helped bring a sticky-note sketch of an engagement ring come to reality! I had a very clear vision for what I wanted and she was able to perfectly understand that idea and help source the gems. My wife and I also had Katie craft our wedding bands. My wifes engagement ring and wedding band are instant, eye-catching heirlooms that start conversations everywhere we go!

We had a fantastic time taking a Make + SIP class with Danielle. She was very informative and we had fun learning to make our own earrings. She took the time to work with each of us based on our own skill level/experience (mine was 0) and the end product was a memorable evening and a cool pair of hand-made earrings. I highly recommend the classes and the store is incredible to browse as well!

My fiance and I came to Greenville to do the craftsman wedding ring workshop with Danielle (even though neither of us has any experience making jewelry!). We had SO much fun and would recommend the experience to everyone. It was so meaningful to make wedding bands for each other that we will wear for the rest of our lives. Danielle is a fantastic teacher - patient, funny, and skilled. It was so neat to see how much goes into jewelry craftsmanship!

My fiancé and I work with Katie and Danielle to create the engagement ring of my dreams. We did the program where they give you a ring to propose with and you come back and design it, which was ideal because it didn’t ruin the surprise but I had a say in what I wanted. So happy with how my ring turned out!

Review №23

My fiancé and I were looking for a place where we could custom make my wedding band together using some of my familys old gold jewelry. Danielle walked us through every part of the process and let my fiancé and I craft every detail of my wedding band from start to finish. Forget about buying a wedding ring. You should make one instead! This is a 10 out of 10 recommend. Danielle was a phenomenal teacher and a truly delightful person to get to know. The memories we got to make crafting my wedding band are ones my fiancé and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I have had several items done at Make Made and couldn’t be happier with all of them. I began with repurposing several sentimental pieces into something Danielle and Katie designed. The end result is beautiful. They both spent a lot of time working with me and never made me feel rushed or insignificant. I definitely feel confident in recommending them for your jewelry needs!

Katie is an amazing person to work with. She used some family heirlooms we had and created a beautiful engagement ring and set of wedding bands. We couldn’t have been happier with the process and the end result. Katie did a wonderful job honoring our traditional family pieces while incorporating our unique styles as individuals, and as a couple. The rings are each pieces of art that we treasure for years and years to come.

Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary by making wedding bands was amazing. With Covid this year life has been so unpredictable. Danielle was very kind and able to change the date for us so we could all be safe. Danielle said your 25th year anniversary is all year and we will reschedule. That comment really helped me stay positive and hopeful. The wedding band class was worth every bit of our wait. The class was such a special experience and we learned so much. We’re ready to come back for another anniversary when we don’t have to wear masks. To make a special memory and experience by making wedding bands with Danielle is priceless.

Katie is tremendously talented and creative, with a very distinct style and eye for detail. I own a few of her pieces and regularly receive compliments of each when worn.I also recently attended the Hammered Hoops class and had a blast! I went in a little nervous on account of never having done anything of the sort, but Katie was a great teacher and made the experience great for all attendees.

I have been a student of Katie Poterala for about 5 years. She has always been very patient and her instruction is thorough and complete. I have accomplished much more than I ever thought possible because she continues to challenge you to not settle for anything less than something you’d be proud of and that she is also proud to say that one of her students did this. I have also taken several workshops both in her own studio as well as other studios around the area.I would highly recommend Katie as an instructor in any aspect of metalsmithing and jewelry creation.

Ive taken a few classes with Katie and she is probably the BEST jewelry instructor Ive ever had - and I have taken many classes over the years. She is extremely talented and incredibly patient - and very willing to share her knowledge! She has so many tips and tricks, I really look forward to my next class with Katie!

Katie has an incredible aesthetic and a keen eye for design. Whether its one of her own unique designs or you have something in mind - she makes your vision come to life (and then surpasses your expectations)! Her jewels are treasured gems that will last a lifetime. You will never go to a box jeweler with her relentless pursuit of perfection and bottomless knowledge of her craft.

I commissioned Katie to create custom pieces of jewelry using coins from a late family member and the results were stunning! Collaborating with her was a breeze. Under her craftsmenship she turned the old coins into beautiful contemporary pieces that family members adored. I look forward to working with her again!

Katie created the most gorgeous engagement ring for me! She worked with my fiancé for months to get it just right, and when I finally got to see it, I was simply stunned. It is even more beautiful than I imagined it would be. Her craftsmanship is unparalleled. If you are interested in something unique and high quality and stunning, then you need to set up an appointment with Katie.
