Anyone buy wedding bands/jewelry in MEXICO???

jmb0902 · February 10, 2009

My FH thinks it would be really sentimental if he waited and got his wedding band while we are at our DW in Mexico. I've always heard Mexico has good silver, etc... but I'm kind of worried we'll be stuck not finding something! I guess I could bring a back up?! Anyone have any jewelry experience in Mexico? Does this sound like a good idea

Thanks girls!

My mom recently went to Mexico and bought like a grand in jewelry...she started just giving me stuff. I was like "MOM!!!" She was like...it was such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up!" I love every piece I picked out of her mound of jewelry. A lot of the jewelers down there will give you loose stones if you buy a necklace from them, so I had my "something blue" stone set into an anklet...so pretty! I think he is sure to find something...just be sure to go a few days ahead so that you can have some time to look. Good Luck!

I can't comment specifically on buying jewelry in Mexico, but my hubby wanted to buy his band in Negril, but I was worried we wouldn't find anything. I didn't want the stress of HAVING to find a ring there. So we bought one at home from Zales the week before we left. Zales has a 30 day return and 90 day exchange policy. I felt better just knowing we had a ring in case we didn't find one in Negril.

It turned out perfect, though, because we did find the perfect band for him in Negril. But I'm glad we brought a back-up just in case we hadn't found one.

Good Luck!
