The Celuk village is Bali’s major centre for goldsmiths and silversmiths.It is located approximately 4km southwest of the Sukawati District. The Celuk village is also a link between Bali’s Batubulan-Mas-Sukawati-Ubud ‘golden pentacle’ of artisans and craftsmen.
The craftsmen here are known for their skills and their industriousness, hence the gold and silver items crafted here are of high quality and feature unique and elaborate designs. Each Celuk villager possesses artistic skills in developing and executing intricate designs and varying patterns and almost all of the households in the village are homes to jeweler families.
They produce various gold and silver items that include souvenirs and mass export items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, studs, broaches and many other Balinese ceremonial accessories and adornments. Celuk welcomes tourists by the day that come to see the elaborate designing and production processes up close and witness a work of art in the making. Also, produce can be purchased directly here.Even though most of the items bear price tags, bargaining is still possible. A common thumb rule for buying items at traditional art markets also applies here; start with half of the price on the tag.
