Celuk, Bali

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
