How It Works

Basunjaya Ubud - Silver Making Process

From raw silver to a finished ring or bracelet — here’s how you’ll craft your own piece, guided by expert silversmiths at every step.

Silver Ring Ubud Group
Step 01

Choose your design

Every class starts at the design table. Browse a range of ring, pendant, and bracelet designs, from simple bands to more detailed patterns, or sketch something of your own with your silversmith.

Step 02

Melt the silver

Pure silver is melted over an open flame until it’s soft enough to shape. Your silversmith handles the flame directly beside you, and once it’s ready, you’ll get to try it yourself under close guidance.

A note on safety: the flame and tools are handled with your silversmith right beside you at every step. This is a guided craft class, not a self-service workshop.

Step 03

Hammer & shape

This is the part most guests remember. Using traditional hand tools — hammers, mandrels, and pliers — you’ll form the softened silver into your chosen design, with your silversmith guiding each strike.

Step 04

File & polish

Once the shape is set, every edge is filed smooth and the piece is polished until it shines. This final stage is what turns a rough hand-hammered form into a piece you’d actually wear.
