I had the best time! When they say you make your own ring they mean it! From design, to melting the metal, forming it, soldering, hammering, and polishing. Juan was a phenomenal guide/teacher as were the master jewellers, shout to you Master Carlos! In this tour you also learn about the history of gold and emeralds in Colombia. A wonderful learning opportunity and the best souvenir to take home!
