1000/10!! Amazing!!
Leroy_P, September 2026
Can’t say enough good things about this experience! It was so much fun and a highlight of my entire Colombia trip! Nick was great and the master jewelers were also great! You get to design your own ring, pick your own emerald and build it from scraps of silver to a fun finished and polished ring. Would totally do this again as it was so much fun!

Custom made ring & history lesson
sunnydayscloudsaway, August 2026
I had a BLAST at the ring making experience. Juan, Hesneyder and team gave me a super personalized experience, helping me design a gorgeous custom (and very unique) ring. They had so much patience letting me do the whole experience in Spanish so I could practice, and gave me tons of good info about caring for silver and shopping in the area. I had so much fun
