John Hardy, Tulola, Sunaka and Celuk's workshops are options to consider when looking for quality jewellery.
Gold prices follow global markets, so do not expect exceptionally low prices. Balinese silver is generally more affordable while still offering quality craftsmanship.
Larger shops usually provide authenticity certificates for gold or gemstones.
Many artisans accept commissions. Bring a design for a distinctive ring or necklace.
Prices at small artisan shops may be somewhat flexible, but keep any bargaining courteous.
Bali is relatively safe, but avoid carrying large amounts of jewellery when walking alone at night.
After discovering a special piece of jewellery, complement your trip with a premium driving experience. Explore Bali in a BMW, Jeep Rubicon or Mercedes-Benz for another touch of luxury.
For a distinctive look, consider a MINI Cooper or Mustang Convertible. An Alphard Transformer offers family comfort, while a Porsche adds another memorable option for exploring Bali.
