I had the best experience at this local jewellery workshop. It’s a family run business and even lunch was provided (home-made, of course). They also provided lots of snacks, water and tea. They really took the time to look into my ideas and fulfill my dream jewellery. I could decide everything myself, from the design to the stone and the texture of the silver. I also learned a lot about gems themselves. During the making process, I could join and help in every step, as far as was possible and safe. In the end, I had amazing jewellery for a fair price. I would recommend 100%
It was one of the best experiences in Sri Lanka. These people are so friend, not pushy and ready to help you with every question you have. I will definitely come again if I come to Sri Lanka and they are also great professionals too
