Led by an instructor at Amaluma Studio, this experience combines creativity, hands-on learning, and a taste of Parisian charm.

What we love about this experience is how accessible it is—no prior jewelry-making experience needed—and how it offers a genuine connection to upcycling and vintage Paris. Plus, after your creative session, you’re perfectly positioned to explore nearby thrifts stores, the Pompidou Center, or simply wander along the iconic Pont Neuf.
