Create Your Own Colombian Emerald Ring

Posted By : stuartp460
This was the best day!! The communication prior was clear and the meeting arrangements were perfect. Our guide Juan was so great! he gave us a really good introduction to the history of gold, emeralds & jewellery in Colombia, he was engaging, funny & friendly! During the workshop he was helpful, happy, patient and supportive. The workshop itself was SO good, the masters are really friendly, super supportive of your ideas, they allow you to be totally hands-on doing all the steps, the atmosphere is really uplifting and positive, the mood is fun and it’s such a great day! I would recommend anyone visiting Bogotá to do this experience!! Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (the ticket cost comes with a free stone, they offer alternatives at extra costs which I bought, see photos. There is absolutely no pressure whatsoever to purchase theses though)

One of the best things I did in my 3 months of travel around South America! Juan was an excellent guide he taught me a lot about the history or gold and emeralds in Bogota. I was surprised at how hands on the workshop was, I pretty much did every step myself which was amazing, I expected that the professional jeweller would do most of the steps but I got to do all of it other than attaching the claws to the band and placing the emerald in. Such a fun experience and i’m so happy to have such a beautiful ring to keep

What a great experience! You get to do it all from melting the silver, pressing silver into a wire and filing. Someone is helping you through it all so don’t be afraid. Everyone is so kind and I loved it.

Loved this activity! We got to make our own rings guided by patient and friendly masters, and learn more about Bogotá’s history and culture. This was the highlight of our stay!

It was a nice experience and I ended up with a nice ring. Just check you are booked in as I was not and had trouble locating them even though I had prepaid for the experience. Also be aware that the stones in my ring were not included but were extra, only one small stone was included

Participating in the emerald ring making activity was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the experience was both educational and enjoyable. Master jeweler, Carlos was knowledgeable and very patient, guiding my fiancé & I through each step with precision and care. The selection of emeralds provided was stunning, allowing us to create truly unique and personalized pieces. The atmosphere was relaxed yet focused, making it easy to immerse ourselves in the craft. By the end of the session, we walked away with beautiful emerald rings that we handcrafted ourselves, filled with pride and satisfaction. I highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a memorable and creative way to explore the world of jewelry making. Thank you Jacky for hosting a great activity and recommending that we visit La Chorrera Waterfalls!

We were late to the excursion at our own fault but Andrea and the team were super accommodating in getting us caught up and jumping into the experience! It was way more hands on than expected and the dedication and care everyone took in helping us create something we would love made for the best experience.

I would highly recommend this experience. Nick and Carlos made the experience even more incredible because they were so pleasant and helpful. I had chosen my ring design prior to my arrival from their Instagram page and wanted it for my small ‘pinkie’ finger. The day started with Nick meeting me at agreed location and while walking to the jewellers giving some history of emeralds and Columbia. On arrival, we were asked to choose our emerald and off we went through each process individually to make our rings overseen by Nick and jewellers, in my case Carlos. Thank you both for a wonderful experience including the banter and chuckles.

My boyfriend and I went to this experience and it honestly was so fun. They really walk you through every step so you get the ring you always imagined or wanted. The price includes the sterling silver metal itself and a small emerald. My boyfriend and I both opted to choose a larger emerald (better clarity, color, and size) which does cost more (you pay basically the cost of the emerald you choose if you want to upgrade. My boyfriend emerald was I believe 1.04 karats and mine was 1.27 karats auge slightly more weight on each I can’t remember exactly) but we paid $1,040 usd extra and it was totally worth it. They engraved both of our rings for free which made them even more special. They offer it in English which was extremely helpful as my Spanish is limited and my boyfriend does not speak any Spanish. If you want a special keep sake that is beautiful as well as an amazing experience to do with your partner, friends, family, or even alone I can not say better things about our experience here!!

Loved everything about this experience! Everyone involved was so passionate, and it was fun melting the silver, using tools etc. My ring turned out so much better than I was expecting. I highly recommend!
