ShoppingPatrick's Silversmithy, Calle Pedro Clisante 3 (tel. 809/571-2121), was established by British expatriate Patrick Fagg in 1973 as a showcase for his unusual jewelry designs. At least half of the inventory here is made within his studios, and each incorporates such local stones as larimar, amber, and black coral. About 80% of the inventory is made from silver, making these one-of-a-kind creations affordable. The best art gallery is Viva, Calle Dr. Alejo Martínez 10 (tel. 809/571-4222), which sells local art and giftware. An excellent selection of Dominican masters is on sale; the giftware includes beautifully crafted wood sculptures in mahogany and guayacán (ironwood). Many ceramic "faceless" dolls are also for sale. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
