Most often praised: friendly, patient staff, the garden and rice-field setting, the choice of designs and stones, and a finished piece guests keep as a memory of Bali.

“The specialist who guided me was so patient, helpful and great at explaining every step. I also loved being able to choose my own stones and make the ring truly personal.”

“The staff was super patient with us as we chose our style. It's a really manual workshop. We do most of it, but they mostly handle the hard and dangerous things.”

“Such a beautiful place! The staff were so lovely and welcoming! It’s surrounded by gorgeous flowers and rice fields. You have a huge selection of stones to choose from and it was super easy and fun to make your own piece of jewellery!”

Before you book

How is Alas Arum Silver & Gold Workshop rated?

4.9 out of 5 from 2,030 Google reviews, 4.8 from 784 reviews on GetYourGuide, 5.0 from 5 reviews on Klook, and 4.7 from 10 reviews on TripAdvisor (a second TripAdvisor listing, in Ubud, shows 3.7 from 3 reviews). Guests mention the helpful staff and the ring making most often.

Should I book direct or on GetYourGuide?

Either works. Booking direct on WhatsApp gives you every class: single, couple, kids, brass, the Late Night class from 5 to 9 PM, gold, group and masterclasses. GetYourGuide and Klook list the silver workshop with their own price, payment and cancellation terms, which can differ from ours. Check both for your date.

Are there extra costs at the workshop?

The Single Silver Class (IDR 650.000) includes 1–6 grams of pure silver and a drink. Extra silver, gold plating and gemstones are optional extras; ask your instructor for the price before you start if you want to stay within the class price.

What do guests say could be better?

A few guests felt the class was rushed on busy days, or that the instructor did more of the work than they wanted. Couples sometimes work with separate instructors. Tell your instructor at the start how much of the work you want to do yourself.
