Overview

A little wine. A lot of beads.

Join us at Wilder Wines for an evening of creativity, conversation, and making something you'll actually wear.

You'll create your own custom beaded necklace from scratch, choosing from hundreds of colorful beads, your favorite clasp style, and three charms to make it uniquely yours. Whether your style is colorful and eclectic, classic and understated, or somewhere in between, you'll leave with a finished necklace that's completely one-of-a-kind.

No jewelry-making experience required—just bring yourself and get ready to have some fun.

What You'll Make

• One custom beaded necklace
• Your choice of clasp style
• Three charms
• A finished piece ready to wear home

What's Included

• Two-hour guided workshop
• Hundreds of natural stone and seed beads
• Premium gold or silver components
• Choice of clasp
• Three charms
• One finished custom necklace (up to 20in circumference)
• Glass of wine
• Light snacks

How It Works

Start by browsing a curated collection of beads, charms, and clasps before designing your necklace. Then we'll walk through the process step-by-step as you string, assemble, and finish your piece.

There are no rules here - make something colorful, make something classic, make something completely unexpected. The goal is simple: create a necklace that feels like you.

Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a midweek outing. Either way, you'll leave with a handmade necklace and a good excuse to tell people, "Thanks, I made it."
