Hard Pass
Christopher_S, Aug 2023
Ultimately, this was a sales gimmick. Although our "teacher," Maria, was lovely, this "three hour class" was just a 45 minute class, followed by a two hour Reach-Around Rodeo to trap you in the retail jewelry store. Some notes for the owner: If you sell emerald jewelry, your "handlers" should be wearing your jewelry, even if just loaned for the day.

Great class with Jessica & Maria
Jassly_P, Apr 2023
We were picked up on time and drove to the location for the jewelry making class. Jessica gave us a lot of the history on emeralds and Maria helped us make our jewelry they were both great! The class was well instructed and very kid and adult friendly and also great for solo travelers. After making the jewelry you get in depth look and the museum and are able to purchase emeralds if you would like. Great class, nice people and I would recommend.
Personalized, Hands on, Wonderful
Sachel_B, Feb 2023
This class was absolutely wonderful! Our guide, Daniella (I’m so sorry if this isn’t how her name is spelled), picked us up directly from the hotel and took us to the Caribe Jewelry factory. She was so kind and knowledgeable about the emeralds and the experience was truly personalized. The class was led by an individual instructor who, after observing your progress, decided whether you should work on a more difficult project or not. The class itself was so much fun and geared towards every level. The company has a really beautiful story that you learn as well, and the teachers are from a wonderful program implemented by the company to support people who have very low incomes or are homeless. You get to select one of your pieces to take home, or you can buy others if you choose to. After the class, we were guided around the museum by Daniella who told us everything we needed to know and then saw the workers polish the emeralds and create the jewelry in the different settings. This was one of the most beautiful museums I’ve ever been to and the personalized and hands on experience made it even better. I 100% recommend this. If you are hesitant, go for it. It’s absolutely worth it.

We never actually made it to the experience due to some confusion with our hotel’s front desk sending the guide away, however we were so touched by the apology we received- including offering to schedule us in anytime for free (unfortunately the rest of our time in Cartagena was spoken for). Later on they dropped off some complementary jewelry we were not able to make for ourselves. Hopefully next time we will be able to enjoy the experience!
Excellent excursion
Linda_V, Jan 2020
The emerald jewelry excursion was educational, interesting and a lot of fun. I left with four lovely pieces of jewelry that I will wear and treasure.
Amazing experience in Cartagena...
Chenelle_B, Mar 2018
Amazing experience in Cartagena. You are able to see every single step in the process of jewelry making and then sit down and make some of your own. We ended up purchasing an extra piece that we made to bring home with us before going to the store and purchasing even more. The Colombian Emeralds are so green and beautiful.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
Thanks a lot for booking this experience with us, we are glad to teach jewelry making and to share about emeralds in Colombia.

I booked this tour for a client, and I was unsure about it as it was a new Viator offering. However, I got pictures of my client making her jewelry- and it looked like she had an amazing time! They were also so responsive in helping me with transporting her to and from her hotel. Definitely recommend this tour!

Thanks Charlotte, hope we can work together again.
