Hanoi Old Quarter Pearl Jewelry Making Small-Group Class

Make your own pearl jewelry
at a workshop in Hanoi's Old Quarter

This is a small-group craft class of about 40 minutes where you choose a pearl, combine it with a base and charms, and finish a piece such as a necklace, ring, or earrings yourself. Groups are limited to 6 participants, and the instructor guides in English and Vietnamese. Start with a short introduction to the pearl farm and finish by receiving your piece in a gift box.

Choose one of three pearl colors

A tray of pearls in three signature colors, white, purple, and orange, is placed in front of you. Hold up a mirror under the warm lighting of the atelier and try each pearl against your wrist and skin to find your favorite.

Set your style with a base and charms

Pick the details you like from a range of bases and a charm collection prepared for each style. The team holds your chosen pearl and charms together to suggest combinations that match, and helps you preview the overall look before assembly.

Assemble it yourself and take it home in a gift box

Sit at the assembly table, watch a staff demonstration, and learn how to thread pearls and charms onto the base, close jump rings with pliers, and secure the clasp firmly as you finish the piece yourself. Try your jewelry on in front of the mirror, take a few photos, and receive it in a pearl factory box.
