Really fun experience! - I learned a lot about the history of emeralds in Colombia and I loved making my own ring. The team guides you step by step but you do actually make the ring from the forge to the polishing!

Good time and would do this again. - Time flew by. Unique experience. Hint. Have a ring design in mind before arriving. You are also able to purchase larger and better stones if you wish. Columbia pesos are better, but they take credit cards for the larger stone. You are guided each step of the way. From melting the silver to polishing the ring. I read all the reviews and you will not be disappointed with this experience. A wonderful momento to bring home.

A Must-Do Unique Experience - It was a unique and great experience to do in Bogota/Colombia. The guide, Juan, was amazing. He gave us a rundown about the emerald culture and then took us to the studio, where I chose my emerald and the ring style. I am so happy with my ring and the experience. Thank you, Juan and the workshop team!

Must do for the family - The host and master artisans were so helpful in guiding you through the process. It is well worth the cost with the materials and 3 hours for the workshop. A special thanks for accommodating my 8 year old (with help of mom) who was thrilled that she was able to make her design come to life. They were so careful with her and explained everything to her level. Perfect for making family rings!

Very unique experience - I was met by the tour guide Nick, who was super friendly and spoke English SO well. He talked about the history of emeralds as we walked a few short blocks to the jewelry shop. He and the owner there guided us through the ring making progress. It was a great time and a really unique experience!

Amazing experience and a keepsake of colombia - So worthwhile - you learn all about the process of ring making and about the emeralds in Colombia. You have freedom to create pretty much whatever style you feel like and they guide you along the way. I had read about how you may pay extra for a larger emerald but actually I was very happy with the size and shine of my included gem. It's up to you!

The guide spoke English... - The guide spoke English very well and explained properly about the working process and the stone itself, answered all the questions, was patient, and the other employees were also very nice. Highly recommend! You get a stone of a certain size that is included in the price, but I wanted a larger stone so I added $80.
