Celuk is a village in Central Bali. It is the main center for gold and silversmithing on the island, with much of the jewelry sold in Bali coming from here. The workers of this cottage industry come from the Pande Mas clan who are traditionally artisans in metal crafts.

The main road in Celuk is lined with the main jewelry shops, with smaller ones huddled in the side lanes. You can find here jewelry fashioned according to modern as well as traditional designs. If you are visiting on a tour package, be aware that the big shops provide a commission to tour guides which may be as much as 40-60% of the retail price.
