Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is worth a quick visit while in Antigua. It’s a small museum, workshop, and store. There is a brief tour—maybe 10-15 minutes—that explains about jade, its role in Guatemalan history and shows replicas of famous jade pieces. It’s short enough for kids to learn something but interesting for adults. I didn’t realize that jade was even found Guatemala. This is completely FREE and although there is a store, there’s no pressure to buy. Our guide Berny spoke great English, looked up our animal protectors on the Mayan calendar, and was very informative! Take a moment to pop in.

This museum/workshop offers valuable insight into the history of jade and its uses in ancient Mayan culture. The saff are welcoming and enthusiastic. Beautiful jewelry is on display for sale at varying and affordable prices. Lovely gallery in a beautiful setting. Our visit there was a highpoint of our time in Antigua. A "gem" of ambiance not to be missed.

We ended stopping as we walked by, prompted by free Museum Tour signs and recognizing the name.
The museum is small, but contains many interesting pieces on display as well several interesting facts regarding Jade mining and the history of Jade in Guatemala.
Our shopping experience was great. No pressure to buy. The sales associate was patient and helpful. They spoke English fluently as well.
There are shops / cafés on the second floor of the building above the small square that also has a nice fountain

Wow! This was such an amazing experience! We met the awesome Diego who gave us a free tour of the musem and shop and then introduced us to the workshop. Buying a souvenir from a shop is easy but making your own out of Jade is the real deal. Diego is so passionate and knowledgeable that he makes you feel like you’ve been doing this forever!

We accidentally got in line with a cruise tour group and learned a bit about the usage of jade (little because the tour was in Spanish for which we were not proficient).
Our purpose was strictly shopping for beautiful jade jewelry.
The staff are most helpful and accommodating. They are standing by to individually wait on the customers. You feel like you are in an exclusive jewelry store in NYC.
Impressed because my friend had to have a ring sized and gentleman walked us up to a restaurant and later brought her ring to the table afterward. Now that is service we had not expected!

I participated in the carve your own jade class with Cesar and really enjoyed my time there. Cesar knows what he is doing and has the most important skill any teacher needs: patience. I ended up with a lovely bracelet that looks as good as it does thanks to Cesar.
I also enjoyed touring the museum which really has an amazing selection of reproductions and an educational component to help you appreciate the value of jade.
Finally I did love the store. They have something for everyone from real expensive to moderately priced and still lovely. I picked up a pretty holiday gift for my daughter in law.

My husband has been a long time customer at casa del jade. I was visiting Guatamala for the first time and my husband brought me to this very special store to buy me a gift.
First, the showroom is exquisite. The salespeople are very nice and helpful. Not pushy at all. I was wearing the jade cross that I had been gifted and the salesman volunteered to polish the silver embellishments.
After searching the store for just the perfect item, I found and exquisite princess jade and pearl bracelet. The salesman told me the translucent gray jade was discovered the same year that princess Diana died and they named the jade after her. I have very thin wrists and the bracelet fit beautifully and was linked thus very comfortable.
The service at casa del jade was only exceeded by the beautiful jewelry. Don’t miss this amazing shop in Antigua.

i walked by this shop every day on the way from my hotel to the central park, every day the nice man who works there would be standing in the doorway and ask me "do you need any jade?" which as a matter of fact I didnt. But every day he politely asked me as i walked by. The store was very nice, the product looked beautiful, but it just wasnt something which i was interested in purchasing at the time. The friendly guy at the door though definitely was nice though.

We had a great time at the jade museum! Berny gave us the short tour and we learned so much about different types of jade and its historical uses. He was very friendly and helpful, he helped us pick out a beautiful ring to buy and talked to us about Antigua.
