Silver Jewelry Class in Ubud: Craft Your Own Piece

You melt the silver, shape it, solder it, and walk out wearing what you made.

A three-hour silver jewelry class in Ubud where you design and craft your own piece from sterling silver 925, guided through melting, forming, soldering, filing and polishing by experienced silversmiths. All materials, tools, snacks and water are included; the jewelry you make is yours to keep. The class runs 1.5 to 3 hours depending on your design, and no prior experience is needed.

The Experience

You start by choosing a design—a ring, bracelet, pendant or something else—then a silversmith walks you through the materials and tools you'll use. The work begins with melting pure sterling silver grains in a small crucible, then hammering and pressing the cooled metal into the shape you're aiming for. Each step happens at your own pace, with the silversmith watching and stepping in when you need a hand.

Once the basic form is right, you move into soldering—joining pieces together with heat and solder—then filing and sanding to smooth the surfaces. The final stage is polishing, which is when the piece suddenly looks like jewelry instead of metal. By the end of the session, you have a finished, wearable piece that weighs between 1 and 5 grams, depending on what you designed. If you want to use more silver, an additional fee applies; the silversmith will tell you the cost before you start.

The class happens in Ubud with a live guide who speaks English or Malay. Snacks and mineral water are provided, and the space is wheelchair accessible. Public transportation runs nearby if you're not driving yourself. You'll need a valid ID to book, and each person makes only one piece during the session—you can't pool silver with someone else or work on multiple designs.
