Celuk Village is a famous tourist village with a gold and silver smith centre, with its artisans creating high-quality jewellery with such unique and intricate designs. Tourists who visit this place can see firsthand the process of making finished products such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches and others. Here you can also take your own jewellery making class (Silver Class), making it an ideal place for art souvenirs with high aesthetic value at affordable prices as well.
In the past, the residents in Celuk Village were mostly farmers. And it is said that there are only three families belonging to the caste that are famous for their expertise in processing various types of metals to make accessories for Hindu worship. As tourism developed which became the main commodity on the island of Bali, so more and more people left their jobs as farmers, and they began to learn to make gold and silver smith. Especially in 1977 almost all residents have become craftsmen, so that until now Celuk Village has become a traditional art village that is famous for its gold and silver crafts which have high aesthetic value and of course at affordable prices as well.
Celuk Village is located in Sukawati District, Gianyar-Bali Regency, located on a strategic route between Batubulan and Ubud which is approximately 7 km from Denpasar, which is famous as a centre for gold and silver smith. When you enter this neighbourhood, you will feel like you are in a jewellery exhibition, because on both sides of the street there are many art shops that exhibit their best work in glass storefronts, and you can take a closer look at them to appreciate them and can also buy jewellery crafts if you really like them.
Most sellers and blacksmiths usually accept custom order jewellery, but you can always ask them to be sure. If you are confident enough, you can ask their permission to forge and shape your own jewellery and most of them are used to dealing with foreign tourists so their English is enough to start a conversation. Be careful, though, because forming gold and silver involves fire, and the flames can burn your fingers quite severely, not to mention your money as well. Explore the village of Celuk by visiting one of the art shops and see their collections of gold and silver smith that have high aesthetic value and of course also at affordable prices.
