Your Experience

On this tour, visit a goldsmith’s workshop in the heart of Oristano to experience the ancient art of Sardinian jewelry-making. See how jewelry gets created using the wire technique. From casting to lamination and drawing, witness the transformation of an ingot into increasingly thin wire using traditional and modern methods in a wire processing laboratory. The goldsmith, who has inherited skills and creativity passed down to him through generations, showcases traditional techniques and shares stories of the craft.

The father of the goldsmith was a passionate mineral collector, which sparked the beginning of this activity.
