This tour starts by having an introduction about the importance of emeralds for precolonial and colonial culture.

We will take a look at the emerald market to see the different minerals and qualities.

What fun! Definitely something different. We were two teenage boys, two adults. We had fun-- melting, designing, shaping, polishing-- our rings. We appreciated that the jewelers let us do much of the work, but were available and helpful as well. And patient! We all love our truly one of a kind souvenir. We all want to do it again.
Excellent experience!

This was a wonderful learning experience in the history of gems/metals and the process of creating my ring. Making my own ring was a beautiful experience doing it step by step. It made me appreciate the masters and their art. Anyone wanting to have a hands on experience given by truly talented (and patient) staff, you need to book your lesson! A big Thank You to the staff. I will always have fond memories and a beautiful ring of this experience.
Great experience. Nick...

I cannot say enough great things - a great value, a wonderful morning. We worked with Nick as our translator and guide who was informative, helpful and has a great sense of humor. The jewelers are great teachers and very patient. And make no mistake - you are doing the work! I also deeply appreciated how patient and willing everyone was to help me practice my Spanish! It was so fun!!!
Not to be missed!

A unique opportunity to make your own piece of jewelry under the instruction and supervision of experienced jewelers. It also included a lot of information about the importance of emeralds and gold in Columbia’s history, and a tour of the jewelry and stone markets. Fabulous!
