Great experience - Absolutely a great experince for a great cause. Our student teacher was so pleasant and helpful. During my class, the we made a necklace, bracelet and ring each containing an unpolished Emerald. I purchased the earrings as a gift and got the ring for myself.

Not your usual, walking tour! - I was on a Viking tour and this was one of the excursions that was offered. Because I had some issues with one of my knees I didn’t want to go on the walking tour and instead selected to go here as it was a jewelry making class. It was a lot of fun! It was interesting to hear about the emeralds and to make the pieces (very easy) with the instructor. On our tour, they let you keep one of the four pieces you made, and you could buy the other three for a very reasonable price in my opinion. The quality of the emerald for your project is rough, non-polished and you do end up with a unique item. The instructors are young people that I believe are learning, the craft of jewelry making. That being said, they were very helpful and friendly. After the class you get a short trip through their museum and then they let you downstairs into the store. Of course, the store has very expensive pieces but I was able to purchase several pieces at a reasonable price and was happy with what I bought. I would definitely want to go again, but with more money ;-)

Make Jewelry and meet the Students! - We took a tour offered on "Ruby - Princess Cruise line". We enjoyed meeting the Students and Maria helped us make our jewelry. I kept a ring, necklace & purchased a bracelet. The Emerald tour was quite fascinating with lots of displays. I would recommend to anyone.

Hard Pass - 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.
