Very fun hands on experience - This was a really fun way to experience jade in Guatemala! After learning a little about the culture we got to pick our pieces, shape, carve, and polish it. I wanted to turn mine into a ring, which we couldn’t do in the workshop but my teacher helped me carve my piece so the store could turn it into a ring for me.

Jade Keepsake - I love that I was able to learn the history, the types and the significance of each jade colour before selecting which one I wanted to work with. The team was really helpful and gave perfect guidance. My piece came out very pretty and is a lasting reminder of my time here.
