About this plan

If you want a different plan in Bogotá, the emerald ring workshop turns you into a jeweler for a few hours. The experience starts in front of the Gold Museum, where you meet your guide and walk to a local jewelry shop in the city center. On the way, there is a stop at the Casa de la Moneda to learn about the role of metals in pre-Hispanic and colonial times.

Once at the workshop, an instructor tells you all about Colombian emeralds, their value, and why they became the country's most loved stone. Then comes the fun part: you pick the shape, the design, and the stone to create your own emerald ring. At the end, you take home a piece of jewelry you made yourself, ready to wear or to give as a gift. The activity lasts about three hours and runs every day.

What to expect

  • Create your own ring with a Colombian emerald
  • Guided walk from the Gold Museum through the historic center
  • Stop at the Casa de la Moneda included
  • Hands-on workshop lasting about three hours
  • Available every day
