The Making Process

From a Simple Idea
to Your Own Silver Jewelry

See what happens inside our hands-on silver jewelry workshop in Ubud — from choosing a design and shaping the silver to refining, polishing, and taking home something you made yourself.

A Hands-On Experience

You don't just choose a piece.
You help make it.

A silver jewelry workshop is different from simply buying a souvenir. During the experience, you work with silver and traditional jewelry-making tools while being guided through the main stages of the process.

Your finished piece doesn't have to look exactly like something from a jewelry shop. The small marks, decisions, and details are part of what makes it yours.

Step by Step

What happens during the workshop?

The exact sequence can vary depending on the jewelry you choose to make, but the experience generally moves through these stages.

01

Choose Your Design

Start by deciding what you would like to make. Rings are a popular choice, but the design can be adapted according to the available options and the amount of silver included in your workshop.

02

Prepare the Silver

The silver is prepared before it can become the shape you have in mind. Depending on the piece, this can involve heating and working the metal so it becomes suitable for the next stage.

03

Shape the Metal

This is where the silver starts becoming recognizable. You may hammer, bend, shape, or work the material using traditional jewelry-making tools under the guidance of the workshop team.

Solder & Refine

Some designs require pieces of silver to be joined together. The workshop team helps with the more technical parts while you continue to be involved in shaping and refining your piece.

Sand & Smooth

Once the main shape is complete, the surface is carefully refined. Edges are smoothed and rough areas are worked down so the jewelry becomes comfortable to wear.

Polish & Finish

The final stage brings out the character of the silver. Your piece is polished and finished before you get to see the result of the work you have just completed.

Make It Personal

Your design is part of the experience.

You can come with an idea already in mind or choose from designs and examples available at the workshop. The goal is to create something that feels personal rather than simply picking a finished item from a shelf.

  • Choose a design that suits your style
  • Discuss adjustments with the workshop team
  • Work directly with silver and jewelry-making tools
  • Add gemstones where available at additional cost
  • Take home the finished piece as a personal souvenir

Inside the Workshop

It's practical, social, and a little messy.

You will be working with real tools and real materials, not simply watching a demonstration from a distance.

The atmosphere is informal and hands-on. You can ask questions, watch how a particular technique is done, and then try it yourself with guidance from the workshop team.

Some stages involve heat, tools, and technical work. Follow the workshop team's instructions throughout the experience.
The Result

The best part is seeing your idea become real.

After the shaping, refining, sanding, and polishing, you finally get to see the finished piece. Every piece carries a little bit of the experience that created it.
