About this experience
I'm an artist and master jeweller, art lover and food passioned, I still haven’t decided yet what I’m going to do when I grow up, meanwhile (since 1982) I design jewels and I like teach jewelry-making. In 2013 I was appointed Master of Art by Tuscany Govt. I always like meeting new people, find new inspirations, sharing my knowledge... and telling stories about my work and my city. The ancient cuttlefish bone casting technique, already known by the Egyptians more than 2000 years ago, is one of my favorites is one of my favourites and it's easy to learn. The cuttlefish bone is easy to carve to make a mold that will be filled with melted silver. After my instuctions it will be your turn to project and carve the bone into the shape of your own jewel. You will make your personalized pendant or ring, choosing from the proposed models; I will help individually to reach the best result. In the mold just carved I will cast the melted silver and you'll see immediately the rough jewel.

Wonderful, unique experience
Federico is absolutely amazing! Such a sweet, patient person with vast knowledge about jewelry and generosity about teaching. (His jewelry pieces are also exquisite.) Cuttlefish casting is a unique experience and it was totally new to me. It's not something you have the opportunity to do every day, which is why I was eager to try it. I wound up really enjoying it and learning a lot! I loved working with Federico, and I adore the pendant I made.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words, dear. It was a pleasure meeting you and spending some time with you, and I'm happy to hear you're so pleased with your jewelry. Have a wonderful holiday!

The best day!
Definitely the highlight and lasting memory of our Italian holiday. My brother and I so enjoyed learning this ancient craft which we never heard of before. He was knowledgeable and patient and shared many tales about his life and the city he loves. What an afternoon!
Response from the operator: Thank you! I'm so happy to have left you with such a beautiful memory of our time together! ...and the jewelry you carefully crafted will preserve that memory for years to come.

An 6/5 Experience.
Frederico is an absolute sweetheart with lots to share about his life and the city. He's also a very patient and effective teacher. And I would give him 5 stars just for all that. But I would give him a sixth star if I could because he also cared a lot about making sure we both got to make rings even after our first attempts catastrophically failed during casting. I would absolutely take other classes taught by Frederico if for no other reason than to spend time with him.
Response from the operator: My dearest, it was a pleasure meeting you. I'm happy to have left you a beautiful memory in your jewelry. I will always carry your sixth star with me, in my heart!

Wonderful!
This was such a wonderful time and I highly recommend it for a unique and lasting experience in your travels!
Response from the operator: Dear Maria, thank you so much for your kind words. I was delighted to host you and was very pleased with the jewel you created!
via Viator
Experience of a lifetime
A truly special and memorable experience that perfectly captured Florence culture! Federico is not only an amazing artist himself, but a great teacher (not all artists can teach well, but he was patient, clear, and encouraging). The timing of the jewelry class was perfect - 3 or so hours to work on your piece and then time to discuss art, Florence, and whatever else that came up over a drink at a near by cafe. It’s great that he allows you some independence in choosing and creating your design. I now have one of the best memories and souvenirs of my time in Florence. So very grateful for the opportunity.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, dear. I'm so happy to have left you with such a beautiful memory! ...I'll remember you fondly too.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry. cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry. take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry.?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Create your original cuttlefish bone cast jewelry. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
