Maral Kunst : Jewelry Bar Experience (Jewelry Making)

Creating Jewelry in Oslo: A Personal Touch on Your Trip

Imagine spending a few hours in Oslo, not just sightseeing but actually making something beautiful with your own hands. For $147, you can join the Maral Kunst Jewelry Bar Experience, a 3-hour workshop where you’ll craft custom bracelets, earrings, or necklaces from high-quality materials. Led by an expert guide, Maral, this experience combines hands-on creativity with a touch of inspiration in a cozy, gallery-like environment.

What we love about this experience is the opportunity to design something uniquely yours—whether you’re a jewelry novice or a seasoned craftsperson. The personal guidance from Maral ensures you’ll feel supported whether it’s your first time working with gemstones or you’re redesigning a beloved pre-loved item. Plus, the gallery tour adds an extra layer of inspiration, making the entire process feel immersive and meaningful.

This tour is especially ideal for creative travelers, couples, or small groups who enjoy hands-on activities and authentic local experiences. It’s also a great choice if you want to bring home a personalized piece of jewelry that tells a story from your trip.
