I’ve done some research on where to make rings in Tokyo, but haven’t been able to find the right place yet. My boyfriend and I are looking to make promise rings together and think it would be a fun thing to do together. I found a place in Nakameguro that seems nice, but we haven’t decided yet. Do you have any recommendations?
Edit for more info: We are looking into making rings on the cheaper side, around 10000 yen per ring..or less! In Nakameguro they have a ring studio called Makers Base, but we’re looking into more places since we aren’t familiar with shops that do this sort of thing. We want to do something creative, so a place we can have fun while making our rings together and somewhere we can add our own personal engravings/ designs are best! We’re mostly looking for something affordable, we don’t need gold and diamonds.

Depends on what you’re looking for, really. Custom ring or just a “select a size & engraving type”?
Not a specific place I can recommend without more info, but Okachimachi near Ueno is well known to have many ring stores. So if you’re okay with “window-shopping then choose a store” type of date, then I’d suggest going there and see what you like.
Ringram is an awesome place.
Girlfriend and I handmade silver rings there and costed ¥5000 per ring.
We did ours in Osaka but the staff were super nice and told us they also serve English and Chinese speaking customers.

there’s a place in Harajuku near the gong cha that does custom rings. little gold and no platinum though but I guess for promise rings that’s not a problem

There’s a place called Maker’s Base in Meguro that holds workshops for jewelry – they have a specific metals workshop where you craft rings. Each session is 2 hrs so could be a cool way to spend time together too!
If you’re okay with something rustic, HIRO workshop near Musashino station is a good one. My husband and I made rings there and engraved them with the date we met. Not sure if you can add other engravings though. https://www.facebook.com/hiro.workshop/
It’s a bit far, but this place was fun and the surround shopping streets are fun so you can easily make a day of it.

I was going to get my engagement ring made here before COVID happened and I lost my job and boyfriend got a pay cut.
Good customer service
