3.00The experience itself was great, we really enjoyed making our own rings and it created a lovely memory for us in Bogota as the city was more of a stop gap. We paid more for bigger emeralds but my husbands emerald was cracked upon setting when the pressure would have been added - as said by our host. After we left the shop we noticed a crack when inspecting the ring but thought it was an occlusion because it was quite obvious to us, so it would have been obvious to them. The emerald broke just days later. When getting in touch with our host they were really apologetic and tried to give us lots of different options for us to get the ring back to the shop for the emerald to be replaced but it just didn't work for us as we are moving often around Colombia. Instead we went to a bunch of shops in Cartagena to try and get the best price for replacing the emerald which cost us $200. It's a shame because as professionals, they would have noticed the crack and so it should have been redone. It was disappointing that we had to end up paying an extra $200 for a ring we already paid for and think that a part refund should have been offered. That said, we really enjoyed the experience. The host was super accommodating as we were running late to the class due to a delayed flight and as said, he tried to make it right but trying to get the ring back to the shop. Recommend
The best ever experience!!! Even the teenager boy loved it!! Loved the makings and love our rings! Had so much fun!!!

5.00Great experience for solo or for whole family, even kids!! Staff is very friendly and attentive! Worth every penny!!! You get to design, make from scratch, create totally personalized beautiful piece of one of a kind ring for yourself or your loved one ( if making the ring for someone who is not there—know their ring size ahead of time). We had a 14 year old boy with us who totally loved the process and his final product. He made a manly ring and loved wearing it. Our Tour guide Nick was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. The staff in the jewelry making shop was very friendly, helpful, patient, true artesian, the last of a kind in their trade. You get to pick the design and the emerald you like. The small stone is included in your tour price but if you want a bigger stone or multiple stones, they offer it to you for the extra cost for a very reasonable prices. It could be a really great experience for a newly wed, married couple or whole family. They also offer optional engraving for a small cost. This is truly the best tour/ experience in Bogota. Don’t miss it!!

5.00My experience was incredible. Juan told us in a very clear way the esmerald story here on Colombia. Then he explained more specific stuff and then we started the creation. That was so much interesting and fun for me! I really would come back when visiting Bogotá again. Super recommendable experience!
