Is it worth buying pearls and jewelry in Nha Trang?

Buying jewelry and pearls in Nha Trang is a risky and likely disappointing endeavor. This is based on personal experience visiting stores that often bring in tourists from excursions.

Pearls: They are harvested in the country, but tourist shops often sell rejects at low prices (for example, a bracelet for $5). The question is whether you need low-quality pearls that resemble cheap costume jewelry.

Jewelry with stones: Vietnam mines topazes, including the beautiful "London" variety. However, the quality of cutting and metalwork often leaves much to be desired. Earrings often have flimsy, sometimes plastic clasps.

Conclusion: If you are not an expert, you can easily buy an item with poor cutting and rough workmanship. The situation in neighboring Thailand is not much better. After such shopping, you involuntarily begin to appreciate domestic producers more. Before buying anything, carefully inspect the product under a magnifying glass.
