On ether side of the road are established many art shops showcasing their finest works inside as glass display case. You can take a closer look at them to appreciate it and buy some if you realy like it. Most vendors and smiths usually accept custom made jewelries but you can always ask them to make sure. Most of them are used to dealing with foreign tourist so their English should be fair enough to promote a conversation. If you are confident enough, you may ask their permission to forget and shape your own jewelries. Some of them might allow you, even guide you how to use the tools properly. Be careful, because molding silvers and golds involves fire and fire can burn your finger pretty badly, not to say your money as well.
