Silver & Art Palace

This large building in the historic part of town is on lots of group tour stops because the owner has smartly positioned actual stone cutters right inside the entry. It is one of the places you can examine raw stones and watch how they are cut and polished. After the show, you are ushered into a large showroom where you can buy loose precious and semi-precious stones or finished pieces. The quality is good, but it’s best to come after you have done some comparison shopping and to negotiate in private so you might get a significant price reduction.
