Ondox Silver Class and jewelry UBUD

Silver jewelry starts with your own sketch. In Ubud’s Ceking rice-terrace area, I love how Kedak and Komang guide you into making a real, wearable keepsake, not a souvenir you barely touch. The other big win is the included 5 grams of 100% pure silver, so you leave with metal you personally shaped. The one thing to watch: if you want a very complex, heavy design, plan for extra costs for more silver.

This is a small family setup with multiple daily times, which makes it easier to slot in around temple visits and rice-terrace walks. You’re also not stuck with a large crowd: the class maxes out at 5 travelers, so help is close at hand.

One more practical note: your design work is hands-on, but the casting process isn’t included, so keep your expectations aligned with what you can shape and finish during the session.

Key things that make this Ubud silver class worth your time

• Ceking rice terraces location: right by one of Ubud’s most photogenic views, so you can pair it with a walk before or after.
• Small-group teaching (max 5): easier Q&A, more guidance on how to get the shape you want.
• You keep the silver you make: included 5 grams of pure silver, plus optional upgrades if you want more.
• Family-run vibe: you’ll be taught by a working husband-and-wife team with real experience.
• Design-focused, manual work: you create and finish your piece; casting is the one part that’s not part of the class.
• Clear time range (1.5–2 hours): great for a half-day plan, with an extra fee if it runs longer.

Ubud’s Ceking rice-terrace workshop: what you’re really signing up for

This class is a hands-on silver jewelry experience in the Ceking area, north of Ubud. Think “workshop” more than “show,” and think “make something you can wear” more than “watch demonstrations.” When you arrive, you’re welcomed as part of the day’s small group, and you start from your own design idea—ring, earrings, pendant, bracelet, or another style they can help you execute within the class flow.

The location is a big part of the appeal. The workshop sits across from the rice terraces at Ceking, so the setting is calm and scenic while you work. You’ll also find it straightforward to get there without a hotel shuttle, because ride apps like Grab and GoJek are common in the area.

Who’s behind it

This is a family business run by local Balinese craftsmen. From what you’ll hear in class and see in how they teach, the teachers have deep experience—long enough that they can explain the steps simply and still keep the end result looking polished. In particular, many students reference the husband-and-wife team, including Kedak and Komang, for patient instruction.

Price and value: why $30.56 can make sense here

The listed price is $30.56 per person, and the class runs about 1.5 to 2 hours. That’s not a huge time block, but it’s long enough to actually form your own jewelry rather than do a quick craft. The real value piece is the metal: you get 5 grams of 100% pure silver included.

Here’s the balanced way to think about value:

• If you want a meaningful keepsake and you’re happy with a smaller design (like a ring with a clear, clean look), this price-to-output ratio is strong.
• If you’re aiming for a larger, more detailed piece, you’ll likely need to purchase additional silver. That’s where the cost can rise.

Also keep an eye on class length. The standard session is 1.5–2 hours. If it goes beyond 2 hours, there’s an extra charge of IDR 75,000. So if you’re doing other activities that day, it’s smart to plan for the normal window.

What’s included, in plain terms

Your class includes:

• 5 grams of pure silver
• Snacks and bottled water
• Free WiFi
• A guide to making silver jewelry
• Time for design and hands-on work
• The ability to create your design except the casting process

You can also add to your piece with gemstones (sold separately).

The class flow: from your idea to a finished ring or pendant

The class is designed around you creating something personal. Before you start shaping metal, you’ll talk through the design you want. If you arrive with inspiration—like a simple photo reference—you’ll likely have an easier time because the teachers can translate your idea into steps that fit the class timeframe.

Step 1: Pick a design you can realistically finish

You can design items such as:

• rings
• earrings
• pendants
• bracelets
• other jewelry styles they can guide during the workshop

But here’s a key limitation: casting isn’t included. That means designs that rely on casting a full shape may not be the best fit for this session. Instead, you’ll focus on the steps they teach you to do manually and finish during class.

Practical tip: choose a design that has clean lines and clear structure. It doesn’t have to be plain, just doable in the time they have and within what they can do without casting.

Step 2: Manual shaping and carving

Once your design is set, the workshop portion kicks in. This is where your hands learn the basics of working with silver. The teachers guide you through what to do at each stage, and because the group is small (max 5), you get help when you get stuck.

Several people highlight that the instruction feels simple, even if English isn’t your strongest language. So if you’re traveling with someone who’s not fluent, you’re usually not left behind.

Step 3: Finishing your piece

The finishing stage is what turns “I made something” into “I’ll wear this.” You’ll work through the steps needed to complete the jewelry to the level possible within the class.

And the end goal is real: you take your piece home. Many students describe their ring looking like it belongs in a normal jewelry shop rather than a first-attempt craft project.

Small-group attention: how Kedak and Komang help you get a clean result

This is one of the standout reasons to book this class. In a class this size, you’re not shouting questions across a room. You can ask what something means, point to the design you’re trying to build, and get corrections before you commit too far into the process.

You’re guided, not just supervised

The teaching style is hands-on. The teachers demonstrate, then they walk you through the steps so your piece comes out the way you expected. Students repeatedly mention how patient the instructors are, especially when the design includes details that take careful shaping.

They’re also used to the real-world problem of travel timing. If you’re late, show up anyway; the team tends to be accommodating and helps you catch up so you still finish something you’re happy with.

You get help designing, not just making

Another thing that matters: you’re not limited to one template. People talk about arriving with an idea (sometimes modern-style inspiration) and leaving with a version they helped craft. That mix—your input plus their guidance—is what makes it feel personal.

Location and timing: getting to Ceking and pairing it with rice terraces

The workshop is in the Ceking rice terraces area, north of Ubud. The big convenience point: there’s no shuttle included, but the location is easy to reach with local taxis and ride apps like Grab or GoJek.

How to plan your day

Because the class is close to major sights, you can design a simple flow:

• do the class, then walk to the terraces right across the street
• or visit the terraces first, then come in for your workshop session

Either way works, and the timing is flexible because there are multiple daily class times. If you’re building your Ubud itinerary, this kind of scheduling helps you avoid “one fixed slot” stress.

What the setting feels like

Expect a quiet workshop vibe, with greenery around you. You’ll also be dealing with real tools and metalwork, so you’ll want to arrive ready to focus for the full session window.

Silver, gemstones, and extras: what costs can pop up

This class includes the core materials, but upgrades are real. Here’s what you can expect if you decide you want more than the base amount.

Extra silver pricing (so you can plan)

If you want more metal than what’s included, extra silver costs IDR 80,000 per 1 gram. That can be relevant if you’re making:

• a larger ring size
• bracelets with more length
• multiple pieces in one session

Gemstones cost extra

Gemstones are available for purchase in addition to the silver. That means your final piece can look more customized and personal, but you’ll want to decide ahead of time whether you’re treating this as:

• a metal-only keepsake, or
• a fully styled jewelry moment

Time overage fee

If your session runs longer than the normal 2-hour window, there’s an additional IDR 75,000 fee. If you have a dinner reservation or a transport plan afterward, keep that in mind.

What to bring (and how to make the most of 1.5–2 hours)

You don’t need to be an artist. But you’ll get better results if you show up prepared.

Bring:

• a photo of the jewelry style you want (a phone screenshot works)
• any ring size idea you might have in mind
• comfortable clothes (you’ll be working with materials for a full session)

And mentally, remember the one key limitation: casting isn’t part of the class. So you’ll want designs that align with manual shaping and finishing.

A smart strategy for first-timers

If you’re not sure what you can finish in time, start simple: one ring design with clean lines is often the safest bet. If you want more than one piece, ask what’s feasible within their session flow and silver amount—because the included grams are the base for success.

Who should book this Ubud silver class, and who should look elsewhere

I’d point most people here:

• couples or friends who want a shared activity
• travelers who want a meaningful keepsake they’ll actually use
• anyone who likes practical crafts with real instruction
• first-timers who need clear step-by-step help

You might look elsewhere if:

• you want a very large, highly detailed jewelry item that requires parts outside what casting would normally provide
• you’re chasing a strict budget and want zero chance of add-ons (because extra silver and gemstones are part of the options)

This class is best when you see it as an experience plus a personal souvenir—not as a factory for big-ticket jewelry.

Should you book Ondox Silver Class and Jewelry in Ubud?

If you want an authentic Ubud craft where you leave with something you designed and made yourself, I think this is a strong pick. The small-group size, the hands-on guidance, and the fact that you keep pure silver give you real value for your time.

My rule of thumb:

• Book it if you’re excited to make a ring or similar piece and you’re okay with the class limits (no casting).
• Consider extra costs up front if you’re aiming for a bigger or more detailed design, since you can add silver at IDR 80,000 per gram and gemstones are extra.

For most people planning a day around Ubud and the Ceking terraces, it’s a satisfying, grounded activity—one where you’ll remember the process long after you’ve packed your bags.
