Shopping in Mumbai - Jewellery, Beads?

true_entity

Hi Guys!
I am brand new to the forum - Myself and some colleagues will be travelling to Mumbai for 2-4 months (company so far undecided...) from the end of July. I am really hoping to pick up some beads and silver jewellery, both for myself and also for re sale when I come back home to Australia.
Does anyone know any small stores or wholesalers, or even any markets that are good for jewellery?
Any advice would be very much appreciated

don't buy from touristic places, prices always then are high.

i think if you go to Zaveri Bazar (gold market) located near Crawford market u will find lots of jewellers, mostly for gold but there are a few silver / beads wholesellers.

also on station road of santacruz west, (suburb) its a heaven for shoppers and though things are expensive its worth checking out.

Jaipur - Rajasthan is full of silver jewellers, if you know where to look and can differntiate between silver and fake. dunno if you are plan to go there also.

hope this helps.

mm I second that. you should try and make a trip there. PM if you would like a wholesaler contact in Jaipur. Otherwise, do be careful since gem/jewellery scams are all too common.
