I was in Sri Lanka in September 2013, together with a local guide we traveled around a bunch of shops and so-called factories. The prices are different, there is very cheap, but even a non-specialist understands that these are not stones, but garbage. As a result, I bought in Halle, in the Douglas and Sons store, according to reviews on the Internet. The stones are of excellent quality, the owner himself chose me, upon arrival I checked with a jeweler - everything is super price 1.5-2 times chea ... Farther...
Gentlemen, does anyone know how easy it is to buy tanzanites there? I wanted to go directly to Tanzania, but I was told that tanzanites and other stones that are mined in Tanzania are sold in Kenya. In general, the question is: is it true? how easy is it to find high-quality and not fakes? how to export and import to the Russian Federation? Many thanks in advance to everyone!

this semi-precious stone can indeed be bought in Kenya, which borders Tanzania. But the prices for it are sometimes "pulled up". The stone, although it has a hardness of 6.5 (that is, 2.5 divisions less than precious sapphires and rubies), is rare (mined only in Tanzania in the Arusha region) and is famous for the play of light - from blue to brownish. There is a risk of running into a fake. Maybe you should combine an experience tour (Tanzania is among the most spectacular destinations for fans ... Farther...

ollennka, there are sapphires and topazes, there are no diamonds but! Mutnyak costs a penny about $ 15 per carat, but standing (clean, etc.) is about $ 900 carats. For the author, good clean stones cannot be cheap. Once I bought earrings with sapphires in India in a trusted jeweler, then I showed the jeweler at home, he said, I would make the same ones for you at the same price, or even cheaper This is what I mean, a good product will not be cheap anywhere. It is better to take not expensiv ... Farther...
We are flying for 11 nights and would not like long journeys. But I personally want to go to tea plantations. Are they far from Kalutara? And a couple of interesting excursions nearby. You can leave in the morning and be at the hotel in the evening. Preferably individually. And tell me a good scourge in Kalutara and how to find him. What do they bring from Sri Lanka besides tea and stones?

My advice: buy your gold. In the Czech Republic, I personally like silver more, but alas, not gold ... By the way, about gold jewelry with garnet, Czech garnet looks better in silver, and it’s better to buy not in Prague, but in Cesky Krumlov or Kutná Hora, much cheaper. Farther...

No, Michael is not stubborn. Michael is stubborn! Of course, I understand that the guide communicates with tourists often. Especially the one that leads group tours. But for those who specialize more in individuals, there is not enough communication ... But even during group tours, the guide rarely manages to talk with tourists on abstract topics, incl. and about going through customs upon arrival in Israel. It is not necessary to scare tourists with fines and confiscations of a lot of kno ... Farther...
