Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend the workshop.
At the beginning, we were told our designs were feasible and within budget. In reality, my ring ended up heavier than initially stated and therefore significantly more expensive. My companion was told her design was possible, but later it was suddenly considered too complex. She couldn’t work on it herself and spent most of the workshop just sitting and waiting.
There was almost no proper guidance. Tools were not at all explained, and we were not informed about the different steps of the process or how long each step would take. The entire experience felt like a rip off.
Despite being advertised as a workshop, you barely make the jewelry yourself. Most of the work is done by the staff, which leads to long waiting times and very little hands-on experience.
Some employees seemed irritated and unmotivated. Communication was difficult due to significant language barriers. On top of that, certain behavior among staff felt unprofessional (e.g., throwing paper at each other in front of customers).
It took longer than announced.
Considering the high price, the value for money is simply not there. Even though the piece of jewelry is nice, I would have spent my time and money differently.
