Activity itinerary

Colombia is known as the coffee country, well, we got much more history linked to the “green gold”. Emeralds are part of the selected group of precious stones and the 60% of them in the world are originally from Colombia. Become part of the Emerald legend, by creating a ring with your own hands. This tour starts by having an introduction about the importance of emeralds for precolonial and colonial culture. We will go through the emerald and jewelry district to learn about the history of the precious metals and stones and its influence in Colombian culture. We will take a look at the emerald market to see the different minerals and qualities. Then we will work on your new ring, where you will decide all! the design, the stone and material, by the personal advisory of a orfebre (jewelry master) who teaches you how to do every single step.

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!!!

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!

This was such a great experience. Juan was an awesome host and gave such an informative tour prior to the jewelry making. I had no idea how significant emeralds are to Colombia. The jewelry making process was so cool and it was so fun watching my ring come to life step by step. If you’re in Bogotá, you definitely need to book this experience.

This was fun. We were four adults and all did a different style, which meant each of us learned different techniques. The guys were patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. Two of us used the standard size stones; two of us upgraded

I had an amazing time making my own ring with the help of Carlos, he’s so talented and patient. Nick was an awesome guide and translator, making the whole experience smooth and fun. You actually get to create the ring yourself and learn all about the history of emeralds along the way, which made it really special. If you're on the fence about booking this, just go for it! You won't regret it.

This was a very unique way to spend a morning in Bogota. The guide Nick started with a bit of history about emeralds in Colombia. Then we walked a few blocks through the La Calendaria area to the jewelry shop. We were assisted by a master craftsman who helped us every step of the way. I was actually nervous at first because I didn’t want to mess up the silver. Carlos, the master craftsman, was so patient and kind helping me to relax and enjoy the process. There are several levels of stones to choose from, if you would like to upgrade (roughly USD78, $140, $190). You can also get more expensive stones if preferred. I chose an upgraded stone in the $78 range. I was able to pay with a credit card. I recommend coming with a ring design in mind. I love my finished product. I would highly recommend this excursion. I’ll cherish my ring forever.
