Bogota is one of the best places in the world to purchase emeralds, as Colombia has some of the most productive mines anywhere. You can get some amazing deals, especially since the Colombian peso is still rather undervalued versus many currencies.
Some store recommendations:
ESMERALD TRADE CENTER
Av. Jiménez No 5 – 43
ell a taxi to take you there and wait for you. it is located in the center of Bogotá and you will find a lot of different stores where you can buy very nice emeralds.
Sterling Joyeros
They have 3 stores in Bogota in three major shopping malls: Centro Andino, Unicentro,Santa Ana.
Arlop
Cra 15 with Calle 88
Good prices and very reliable.
Pineda Hermanos
Telephone: 2577128.
They don´t have a store for the public. They´re wholesalers and they deal with emeralds and diamonds.
When buying emeralds, take a good quality emerald with you to compare colour and only view the stone in daylight as indoor light can be intentionally deceiving.
You will know quality when you see it. Clear stunning colour at any angle. Good luck!
