Jewelry
Okay…jewelry! This is classified as Serious Jewelry (like precious metals and stones), Light Jewelry (like costume jewelry, semiprecious stones and silver), and what is popularly called Junk Jewelry (which is very popular among school- and college-going students).

Serious Jewelry
If you want to buy gold, diamonds, emeralds and similar precious stones, you should head for Ganjam or Krishnaiah Chetty and Sons. These places basically keep traditional designs. However, if the design of your dreams is not in sight, go ahead and describe it to them. They’ll be more than happy to create it for you!
Light Jewelry
If you want to buy costume jewelry, the best brand would be Estelle. It’s good quality, gold-plated stuff and there’s a large variety in the designs. It ranges from cute stuff to formal stuff, so if you like modern, gold-plated jewelry, Estelle is for you. Estelle is available at Shoppers’ Stop, Topaz, and a number of other stores.
Junk Jewelry
This is something that you’ll find basically on roadsides of Commercial Street and Brigade Road, and on the side streets off these areas. Shopping complexes like Devatha Plaza also have junk jewelry. The best thing to do if you’re shopping for junk jewelry is to take someone with you, someone who is well acquainted with the city, and who can bargain convincingly. If you have a foreign accent, you’ll have to pay higher prices, so you’d do well to let someone else do the talking for you. If anything about you indicates that you’re rich, the shop owners will overcharge you, so avoid wearing overly classy clothes and don’t pull up in a fancy car.
