A unique experience and a souvenir of your own creation
juaneduardol333, October 2026
This is a truly unique and personalized experience in Antigua, and you take home a souvenir that you made yourself. You can learn about the different types of Jade and go through the entire process of preparing jade jewelry. My girlfriend and I prepared one piece each. I chose a bracelet that needed a curved piece, which is a more elaborate process. Cesar helped us and gave us excellent service. Thank you so much, and if you are still deciding what to do in Antigua, do not miss this experience!
Response from the operator · Casa D ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir una reseña tan completa y especial! Nos alegra enorme conocer que tú y tu novia disfrutaron tanto la experiencia de crear sus propias piezas. Cesar es un pilar fundamental de nuestro equipo y le transmitiremos tus amables palabras; estará encantado de saber que su atención y guía hicieron que el proceso de tu brazalete fuera aún más significativo. ¡Esperamos que lleven sus joyas de jade con mucho orgullo como un hermoso recuerdo de Antigua!
