Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been a pivotal hub for international trade for centuries. Historically, Sri Lanka—famed as 'Ratnadeepa' or the 'Island of Gems'—has supplied the world with its finest stones. This workshop offers a glimpse into this 2,000-year-old legacy, rooted in the ancient traditions that made Galle a center for global gem exchange.

Upon arrival at the traditional jewelry workshop, you will be welcomed by professional artisans who will guide you through this fascinating heritage. Watch live, up-close demonstrations of intricate jewelry production stages, including precision gem cutting, polishing, silver casting, and stone setting. You will have the unique opportunity to handle precious and semi-precious gemstones like moonstones, sapphires, rubies, and garnets, while learning firsthand from experts how to distinguish natural, authentic stones from synthetic ones.

Enjoy a hands-on jewelry-making session for beginners, where you can use traditional tools under expert artisan guidance to create your own custom piece of jewelry to take home. During the workshop, relax and enjoy a complimentary cup of authentic Ceylon tea or coffee paired with light local refreshments. After this immersive cultural session, you will be transferred safely and comfortably back to your hotel in our Toyota Axio.
