Great workshop, very enjoyable. I attended to learn about the process rather than to buy and did not feel pressured to purchase anything. It is a family owned and run workshop and very friendly, I went on my own and was with 2 others. Transport is included but was a bit tight on the way there, so they took us back separately when returning. I would definitely recommend this experience and the price is a real bargain

We had such a lovely time at the jewellery making class!! So fun and informative as well, the family are really really lovely and helped choose designs and happy to work with what we wanted. Amazing to be able to help with every step of the process rather than just watching! We both bought our rings and will cherish them as the perfect souvenir. The guide was fantastic, amazing English and so quick to respond to messages prior to the day! Would recommend this activity to everyone!!

The whole family was absolutely lovely and welcoming with coffee and cake on arrival. It’s super interesting to learn a bit about gemstones and how you can recognise them. Also working with the silver and how much work it involves to create a piece of jewellery.
