Jewelry Shops in India

My Recommendations for Jewelry Shops I have bought from these jewelers, know them personally, and can recommend them as trustworthy and honest. When you are in their city, please call them and ask them to come get you. If you take a taxi, or a shikara (boat), or go with the houseboat owner, you will pay significantly more than if you go alone. Any one of them will be glad to pick you up and bring you to their shop. Trust me on this! Be sure to mention you found them from this website. In India, as in most of the world, it's who you know, rather than what you know, that's most important. A referral always helps the customer. Srinagar, Kashmir Gulam Mohammed's shop is in his home, but he travels all over Kashmir to houseboats, hotels, etc, to meet his customers. He has a large selection of jewelry, especially from Nepal, Tibet, and northern India. He has many antique pieces that you will not find anywhere else. Call him at (91)9419007439.
