In this small-group class at a studio in Jeonpo-dong, Busan, you make your own ring using mother-of-pearl, a traditional Korean craft. After learning about the craft, you apply jewelry clay to a brass ring base, then break natural mother-of-pearl into pieces and place them one by one to design your own pattern. You can upgrade to a 925 sterling silver ring for an extra fee paid on site. No experience is needed, and you take your finished ring home in gift packaging.
When you arrive at the studio, the instructor introduces najeon, the traditional Korean craft of mother-of-pearl that shimmers iridescently in the light. Then you choose a ring base made of high-quality brass, or upgrade to 925 sterling silver for an extra fee paid on site. It is a small-group class of up to 8 people, and the instructor guides in Korean and English.
Apply special jewelry clay to the ring base so the shell holds firmly, then break natural mother-of-pearl into small pieces and place them one by one to create your own pattern. If you like, finish with a glossy resin coating to protect your design and make it shine even more.
Your finished ring comes in pretty gift packaging that you take with you right away. It becomes a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your trip to Busan.
