Emerald Isles

Frommer's Review

This jewelry boutique in the old town is smaller than other entities that specialize in colored gemstones, but because of its much lower overheads, its prices can sometimes be more reasonable. It specializes in Colombian emeralds, set into silver or gold settings already, or waiting for you to select one. But as long as you're in the shop, look also at the unusual inventories of contemporary reproductions of pre-Colombian Aztec jewelry, some of it gold-plated and richly enameled. Many of these pieces sell for around $50 each, and some of them are genuinely intriguing.
