Silver rings start with a hot hammer. In Ubud, I love that this class happens in a Delodsema village workshop with a real silversmith team, not a showroom. You start with tea or coffee and Balinese snacks, then jump into shaping silver with guidance that feels personal.

My favorite part is the design-to-finish support. You can sketch from your own idea or pick a sample, and your instructor helps you plan the details so your ring, pendant, bangle, or earrings don’t just look good on day one. I also like how the class is built around practical metalwork like hammering, soldering, engraving, and cutting.

One thing to plan for: the workshop is out of town from central Ubud, and the rural setting can mean mosquitos. If you hate bugs or you’re short on time, add-on pickup helps a lot, but you may still want to pack light repellent.

Key things that make this Ubud silver class worth your time

• 7 grams of silver included for the main piece (and more if you have time and extra silver)
• Hands-on guidance so you’re not just watching while others work
• Small max group size (20 travelers) so questions get answered fast
• Real workshop tools and techniques like hammering, soldering, engraving, and cutting
• Optional add-ons that let you build a full Ubud day: cooking, ATV, sightseeing, village time, or retro VW safari
• Pickup from Ubud is available (extra charges apply outside the Ubud area)

Ubud silver jewelry making at a real Delodsema workshop

This isn’t one of those Bali activities where you sit in a chair, pick from a menu, and leave with something that feels mass-produced. The Ubud Silver Class experience runs out of a working craft area in Delodsema (near Taro and Tegallalang, Gianyar). That matters because the atmosphere is calmer and more local than the typical tourist strip.

You’re also not just making one generic trinket. The workshop supports several jewelry styles, and you’ll start by looking at samples your instructor shares. If you already have an idea, you can bring it and work it into your design. If you don’t, you’ll build from a sample you like, with help adjusting it to what’s possible with the silver and time you’ve got.

Most people can participate, and the pace is hands-on. That sounds obvious, but in practice it means you’ll learn by doing, not by listening forever. One review mentioned it took away the mystery of how much work goes into even a simple ring, and that’s the feeling you want here: you go in thinking it’s easy, and you leave respecting the craft.

Getting there: pickup, time on the road, and why it affects your enjoyment

The class base is in Delodsema, at GBE Silver Class on Jl. Taman Gajah in Taro (Tegallalang, Gianyar). If you choose pickup, a driver collects you from your Ubud-area address and brings you to the start of the workshop. Pickup from elsewhere costs extra, so if you’re staying outside Ubud, check your location before you assume the same ride conditions.

From the reviews and the way the workshop is described, expect a proper ride out of central Ubud. That can be a plus. The rural area doesn’t feel like a tourist set, and you’re in the kind of place where craft is part of daily life. The trade-off is that you may feel farther away from restaurants and shops once the class begins.

Also, plan around the fact that it’s a rural workshop. Some people specifically mentioned mosquitos. The good news is bug spray was available for at least one group, but you’ll still be happier if you wear breathable long sleeves or bring your own repellent.

Duration is about 3 hours. Some shorter class options are discussed as well (including a 1.5-hour format), so if your schedule is tight, you may have flexibility—just know that silver amount and how much you can finish depends on the option you pick.

Start of class: tea, snacks, and choosing your jewelry design

The first part is about getting you comfortable and giving you a clear starting point. You’ll be offered a welcome drink, and you’ll also sip tea or coffee along with Balinese snacks. Then your instructor brings out jewelry samples to spark ideas.

This is where you decide what you’re making. You might:

• sketch your own ring or pendant concept, then refine it with help
• choose a sample design and build from it
• ask for adjustments if you’re aiming for a specific look or fit

This is also where the class becomes surprisingly practical. Several people praised how detailed the instructors were about the finished result, especially for ring fit. That’s the detail that can make or break a souvenir you’ll actually wear.

If you go in with a photo reference, bring it on your phone so you can compare ideas with the sample designs. If you’re going in with no idea at all, don’t worry. The workshop setup is designed to guide beginners toward something achievable with the included silver.

The workshop lesson: hammering, soldering, engraving, and cutting

Here’s what the class teaches you to do, in plain terms:

1. Shape the silver

You’ll use hammering techniques to form the base of your design. This is often the part that surprises beginners because it takes careful, steady pressure and a little technique to avoid warping or thinning unevenly.

1. Join and finish

Soldering is used as part of construction when your design needs parts to connect cleanly. The instructor’s job here is to keep your design stable so it doesn’t turn into a cracked or messy shape during heating.

1. Add detail with engraving or cutting

You’ll work through engraving and cutting techniques to create the look you chose at the start. Even if your final piece is simple, this is where it starts looking like real jewelry instead of a metal craft project.

1. Optional extra piece if you have time and silver

Your package includes a set amount of silver, but the class flow can allow another piece if there’s time and material left.

One of the best takeaways from the reviews is patience and attention to detail. People described instructors guiding them through the steps without making them feel rushed or judged. In a craft like this, that support matters because small mistakes can ruin alignment or fit. Here, you’re not just left with tools; you’re helped while you’re using them.

You may work with different staff depending on the day. Names mentioned in the provided info include Aldi, WaWan (also written as Wawam), Pepi, and drivers such as Olen and Budi for pickup situations. Whoever you get, the role is consistent: keep you moving forward and help you finish with confidence.

Silver grams, what you can actually make, and how upgrades work

The included silver amount is 7 grams. That’s enough for a solid primary piece, and the instruction team can help you implement your plan with that material.

If you’re choosing the full-length option (about 3 hours), the goal is usually to finish one main item well, with the possibility of more than one piece if you have time and the silver holds out. One review mentioned a friend making multiple rings when they had enough silver and time, which is a great sign that the workshop is flexible with output when your design choices stay within material limits.

Some people opted for the shorter 1.5-hour format, and in that case you’re described as receiving 5 grams of silver, enough for a pendant or ring. So if you want maximum finishing time for detailed work, lean toward the longer session.

Upgrades and extras work like this:

• If you want to add gemstones, there’s an extra charge.
• If you need more silver, extra silver is listed at 80k per gram.
• If you like, you can create another piece if time and silver allow.

The best money move here is to design within the included silver unless you have a very specific vision. Buying extra silver can be worth it, but you’ll get more value if your first choice is realistic and you use instructor feedback during the design stage.

Pairing options: turning the class into a full Ubud day

This experience includes optional add-ons that can happen before or after the jewelry workshop. That’s important because the workshop itself is out of town, so pairing makes the trip feel more complete.

Add-ons listed include:

• ATV/quad bike tour
• Cooking class
• Village visit
• Sightseeing tour
• Retro Volkswagen Safari tour

In practice, the value of these add-ons depends on what you want from Bali that day. If you like hands-on experiences, combining the silver class with a cooking class is a strong pairing because you get two different kinds of learning: one craft-based, one food-based. If you prefer movement and views, an ATV or safari option can balance the workshop’s slower, detailed pace.

If you choose add-ons, keep an eye on timing. The jewelry class is a focused block of work, and you’ll do better if you don’t feel rushed into switching activities right after you finish. A longer day is fun, but you don’t want to treat this like a checklist stop.

Value check: is $36.66 a fair price for Ubud silver making?

At $36.66 per person, the headline price is easy to like. The real value comes from what you get for that money: a welcome drink, instructor time, and 7 grams of silver included.

Here’s why that matters:

• If you were buying a finished silver ring at a shop, you’d usually pay far more than a craft class ticket.
• You’re not paying for entertainment only. You’re paying for materials plus hands-on guidance.
• The final product is a souvenir you can wear, not just a photo.

The potential extra cost is also clear: gemstones and extra silver cost extra (with extra silver listed at 80k per gram). So if you’re someone who tends to add upgrades automatically, plan a budget cap.

But if you go in with a design you can complete using the included silver, this price is very reasonable for the time investment (about 3 hours) and the level of personal instruction the workshop appears to offer.

Who should book this Ubud silver jewelry making class

You’ll probably love this class if you:

• want a hands-on Bali souvenir you’ll actually wear
• enjoy crafts and don’t mind working at a steady pace with tools
• like small-group settings with time for questions and corrections
• want something different from the usual Ubud day tours

It’s also a good option for couples or anniversaries because it’s easy to make matching rings. Several mentions in the provided info highlight that kind of personal celebration.

You might want to think twice if:

• you’re very time-strapped and can’t handle getting out to Taro/Tegallalang area
• you don’t like rural conditions (mosquitos are a real consideration)
• you’re hoping for a fully hands-off experience (the class is meant to be done with your own hands)

Should you book Ubud Silver Class jewelry making?

Yes, book it if you want a real craft experience in Bali with instructor support and a finished silver piece you created yourself. The price is fair for the included 7 grams of silver, and the workshop set-up is clearly built for beginners who want to succeed without guessing.

If you have to pick one factor to plan around, make it transportation and timing: choose pickup from your Ubud address if possible, and wear bug-friendly clothing for the rural Delodsema setting. Do that, and you’ll leave with something you can look at every day and remember how it was made.
