What you can expect

Craft Your Own Legacy: Galle Traditional Jewellery Workshop
Immerse yourself in the world of Ratna-Dweepa (Gem Island) with an authentic, hands-on workshop just minutes from the historic Galle Fort. Step into a family-run artisan space where generations-old silversmithing techniques are still very much alive.

The Experience
Over 2 to 3 hours, you will work 1-on-1 with a master craftsman to transform raw materials into a finished masterpiece.

Gem Discovery: Learn to identify genuine Ceylon Sapphires, Moonstones, and Garnets. Gain the skills to distinguish authentic local gems from imitations.

The Forge: Go hands-on with traditional tools. You will melt raw silver, hammer it into shape, and solder your design.

The Finish: Learn the delicate art of polishing to bring a brilliant luster to your creation.

Your Handcrafted Memento
This isn't just a class; it's a transformation. You will leave with a handcrafted silver ring with a gemstone that you personally helped create—a tangible reminder of Sri Lanka’s artistic legacy.
