Are there any web sites for stores on the Ponte Veechio? Would like to look before I go. Thanks

I think for shops on the Ponte Vecchio, you look at
overpricedblingbling.com

This site has links to websites for at least some of the shops. The selection will be much more extensive than what you see on-line, however.

I dont think they are overly expensive on the P. Vecchio. I shopped a few times on the first store on the right if you are coming from the Uffizi side of the river. Just politely bargain with them a bit, they have high quality work.

I respectfully disagree with maitai. I have purchased rings and paid far less for them than what I would have paid at home. And they are all 18k gold. It depends on what you are in interested in buying but I'm sure you can find jewelry in any price range. I shopped at this store:

Actually Tracy did get a good deal on some earrings on the Ponte Vecchio in 2003. Of course, she got me liquored up before I got there, so I don't know how good a deal it was.

Thanks cls2paris for the web site. I saw a ring I love. Thanks again Myra

The rings look nice, but they don't list any prices.

They list €0.00. I surmise either 1-they're sold out, or 2-they're free

I'd prefer to think it was #2

cls2paris, that is the store! the first one on the right. Have fun Myra53!

Florence has beautiful jewelry but just wanted to comment that if you buy a 18K ring and plan on wearing it every day, such as to work etc. do be aware that 18K is softer than the 14K we normally have here in the US. Consequently constant wear can cause the band to break.
