What Is the Jewelry Making Workshop?
The Jewelry Making Workshop in Puerto Morelos is a hands-on creative experience where participants learn traditional jewelry techniques and create their own piece to take home.
Rather than a single standardized project, the workshop offers multiple jewelry paths, allowing participants to choose what resonates most with them. Options may include creating:
rings
earrings
bracelets
necklaces
Each option follows a different technique and process, giving participants a deeper appreciation for the skill and time involved in authentic jewelry making.
Mexican Gemstones & Materials
A defining feature of this workshop is the use of authentic Mexican gemstones, including stones traditionally sourced from regions such as Chiapas.
Participants are invited to:
learn about the stones and materials
choose gemstones that resonate personally
receive guidance if unsure which stone to select
This choice transforms the jewelry from an accessory into a personal talisman, connected to both the land and the maker’s intention.
The Creation Process
During the workshop, participants are guided step-by-step through:
understanding the chosen jewelry technique
working with tools and materials safely
shaping, assembling, and finishing the piece
honoring patience, presence, and craftsmanship

No prior jewelry-making experience is required.
