Excellent experience - It is a great experience that hopefully all who visit Antigua can make it. Master craftsmen are very good, accessible and very friendly, they have everything so that you can polish your stone and transform it into a real gem.

Well worth it - You can make any shape with a given stencil or branch out with help from the instructor. He’s very helpful and it’s a straightforward yet creative process

My favorite experience in Guatemala! - It was so fun to do this! I’m not artsy at all, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the class was simple enough for a beginner. They were good at teaching us how to use the machines and helped out when it was tricky. I LOVE the necklace I created! I learned that Guatemala is the only place in the world you can find lavender jade. Definitely felt that this class was worth the price.

I would recommend - We had a really nice time making our Jade jewelry but there was a big group with us so a lot of the focus was on helping them. I think it was a bit overbooked. I was there with my daughter and happy we booked but just would’ve liked more direction for us.
