BOOK IT NOW - celebrated my birthday in Antigua and this was absolutely the highlight! Taking home a piece of jewelry that you make yourself is unmatched. Amazing and wholesome experience :) I don’t know how they do it but so impressed with the Guatemalan craftsmanship.

Interesting and accessible - A different experience highly recommended for those who like to get their hands dirty. You have the possibility to create a unique and unrepeatable piece which I think brings added value.

Experience of a Lifetime with Jade - David introduced himself and guided us through registration. We had an orientation class and went to work. He was so courteous and patient. Now we have 2 lovely pieces of jewellery. Everything was included. My husband and I loved the experience and will never forget it.
