Beschrijving
Master ancient jewelry crafting in Galle. Carve, melt, and polish solid sterling silver to handcraft your own ring or pendant, then celebrate your creation over a home-cooked Sri Lankan lunch.
Escape the busy streets of Galle Fort and journey 6 km into the Sri Lankan countryside to discover the traditional art of silversmithing in a genuine family-run workshop.
Begin your creative journey in Galle with a warm welcome and a freshly brewed cup of Ceylon tea. Your master artisan will introduce you to the rich heritage of Sri Lankan silverwork, the natural properties of precious metals, and the world of famous Sri Lankan gemstones. Learn the fundamental techniques of traditional jewelry making and discover how to incorporate local gems into your handcrafted silver design.
Sketch your vision—whether a ring, pendant, or custom motif—and learn how to select and integrate natural Sri Lankan gemstones into your piece. Use specialty tools, micro-chisels, and files to carve and shape your design, preparing the intricate details and gemstone settings for the metalwork stage. Don your protective gear, ignite the torch, and heat solid 925 sterling silver to over 900°C until fluid. Under expert supervision, cast the glowing metal to transform your design into solid silver. Retrieve your raw silver creation, refine the structural details, and carefully set your chosen Sri Lankan gemstone into your piece. File, sand, and polish your jewelry to a brilliant high shine or an antique oxidized finish. Size your custom ring or attach a bail for a pendant—leaving with a ready-to-wear piece of handmade silver jewelry.
