Such a Cool Experience—Highly Recommend! - I had an amazing time making my own ring with the help of Carlos, he’s so talented and patient. Nick was an awesome guide and translator, making the whole experience smooth and fun. You actually get to create the ring yourself and learn all about the history of emeralds along the way, which made it really special. If you're on the fence about booking this, just go for it! You won't regret it.

Excellent experience, totally different - The experience was fantastic, in my case my girlfriend made my ring and I hers, we both ended up delighted with the result. The master goldsmiths were always kind and clear, explaining each step. A lot was learned in the process while being fun for both of us.

Amazing experience - This was a very unique way to spend a morning in Bogota. The guide Nick started with a bit of history about emeralds in Colombia. Then we walked a few blocks through the La Calendaria area to the jewelry shop. We were assisted by a master craftsman who helped us every step of the way. I was actually nervous at first because I didn’t want to mess up the silver. Carlos, the master craftsman, was so patient and kind helping me to relax and enjoy the process. There are several levels of stones to choose from, if you would like to upgrade (roughly USD78, $140, $190). You can also get more expensive stones if preferred. I chose an upgraded stone in the $78 range. I was able to pay with a credit card. I recommend coming with a ring design in mind. I love my finished product. I would highly recommend this excursion. I’ll cherish my ring forever.

This experience was... - This experience was AMAZING! Nick was extremely kind and friendly as a host. He made me feel instantly at home as a first time visitor to Bogotq. The team was kind, helpful, and personable. Carlos made me laugh so much and Hesneyder was extremely gentle in directing me (even with my mistakes)! It was also nice to watch the young apprentices work. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I visit Bogota!
