You can buy the chips (SM chips), and download the free software drivers for them, but it's probably as cheap to just buy a readymade converter?.

Have a look here then:

But all you're doing is duplicating what's inside a ready built one, so it's not what I would consider 'experimenting'.

If you want to 'experiment'?, then get a USB capable 18F series PIC, and write a program and drivers to use it as a USB/Serial converter.
