Jaipur's jewellery bazaar, lined with gem dealers, goldsmiths and sweet shops under pink arcaded facades.
Johari Bazaar is the jewellery street of the Pink City, running from the Sanganeri Gate end toward Tripolia and the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Its pink-washed arcaded shops sell kundan, meenakari and polki jewellery, loose gems, silver, and sarees. Jaipur is a global centre for coloured gemstones, and most dealers will show certificates for expensive stones.
Prices range from INR 500 for silver trinkets to hundreds of thousands of rupees for gold and gemstones. Hours are roughly 10AM to 9PM, with some shops closed on Sunday. The bazaar is a traffic-heavy, busy street; Laxmi Misthan Bhandar and other sweet shops make useful rest stops.
