The ring workshop was awesome! Definitely recommend! We needed a lot of time to figure out our design. Mainly Because we wanted to use the emeralds we found by ourselfs in the mines of Chivor. And because we also polished them by ourselfs (not a professional :D) they didnt fit in the standard cages which was a bit of a challenge.
Luckily Juan & Andrea were really patient with us and in the end everything worked out perfectly!

Incredible experience! Andrea was amazing and Juan was very helpful. We had a very stressful start and ended up almost 30 minutes late (don’t recommend!) but Juan waited for us anyway. He was very informative on our way to the workshop. Andrea was outstanding— she guided us but also let us do a lot by ourselves. We learned so much and definitely have a much bigger appreciation for the process and techniques used.

This is a good experience. You make the ring from start to finish, and it is a quality emerald that you put into the ring. You also have the opportunity to buy other emerald jewelry, and since you're buying them in the source country, it is much cheaper than in the States.

I have had my eyes on this experience for quite a while and I finally had the opportunity to do it. I'm amazed by my new ring that I'll carry with me as a reminder of my time in Colombia. Also, the whole experience was great as Juan and Andrea are extremely friendly. I enjoyed it so much and I have already recommended this to all my friends. You should not think twice: if you have the chance, it is a must do!

This was the only activity I was able to do while in Bogota and it was truly a unique experience. I had coffee with my hosts, we discussed all manner of things across two languages, and was thoughtfully supported in creating a unique piece. This is a serious labor of love and you have to go in with an appreciation that you be making something from scratch. Afterward, my host was also extremely helpful in getting me a taxi in the rain! Great people, very special experience.
