Plata Nativa

Jewelry / Accessories, El Centro


Fodor's Review:

This tiny shop tucked away in an arcade is filled with delights for both boho chicks and collectors of singular ethnic jewelry. Complex, chunky necklaces with turquoise, amber, and malachite -- all based on original Araucanian (ethnic Argentine) pieces -- and Mapuche-style silver earrings and brooches are some of the offerings. Sharon Stone and Liv Ullman have fallen for Florencia Bernales's knitted silver necklaces; other happy customers include Pedro Almodóvar and the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. Weavings and religious wooden statues complete the finds.
