San Jose del Cabo is home to dozens of jewelery stores with products that range the entire span from from inexpensive to statement pieces. I enjoy adding a new piece or several to my collection on my annual trips.
Juliete lured me in for several reasons.
#1, or course, was an air conditioned showroom.
#2, they offered me cold beer as I shopped.
#3, They have a jeweler onsite crafting unique pieces and making alterations as I wait in the air conditioned store with a cold beer in my hand.
My eyes were drawn to amber pieces this year. The selection of amber over the last few years has waned as the costs skyrocketed. Cherished pieces purchased in years past carry a hefty price now so my investment has paid off.
I found two amber necklaces that really stood out this year and began the negotiation process. July in Cabo means it is hot with fewer tourists than the winter months. Juliete wanted to bargain so I was all in. I negotiated several pieces and came out of there with two fantastic amber necklaces that will bring back memories of life's good times for years to come.
But that is not all, I returned a second time and picked out a ring made of opals. I did not like one of the stones and they were happy to replace it with a stone that I selected as I waited. Being able to customize my ring made the purchase special for me. read more
