    Hi Hannah and welcome to our happy Forum.
    The girls on here will be back later and may be the best ones.
    My wife buys some nice costume bits from a shop in the upper level of the old Torvisca's market.
    If it is Gold and Silver items there are many discounted shops but haggle the price and shop around.
    Let us know what sort of Jewellery you are after.
    Tell us a bit more about yourself and what you like in a Holiday and I am sure many can give you some great advice.
    Tenerife has changed a lot in 13 years and many places you may have seen before, will be very different.
    Have a great holiday and keep posting and looking on here.

    I will give you a temp Avatar and you can change it later or just ask someone to.

    Hiya, Hannah. Have a wee look at this map, I've put your hotel on it with a couple of places that will sell decent jewellery.
    Los Cristianos/Playa De Las Americas

    If you zoom out you will see I have pinpointed The Safari Centre, Parque Santiago III shopping centre, Plaza Playa Del Duque and The Arona Gran hotel.

    HANNAHS INTRODUCTION 2610016412 Hannah to the forum.Please don't let some of the comments put you off posting again. As you can see the thread has gone off topic. If you give us a better idea of what sort of jewelry you are looking for we can help you better. Is it Gold or Silver etc you are looking for.

    Hi Hannah
    Steer well clear of the asian shops selling electronic equipment and watches..they will rip you off!!!! There are nice jewelry shops in the Safari Centre , between Los Cris and Las Americas...but haggle, they will drop their price. I hope have a nice holiday, beware of pick pockets xx

    Welcome Hannah I hope you haven´t been put off posting. They are so used to talking to themselves they forget how to behave when a lady is present.

    Gran Oasis, looks nice and while it is a bit out of town you can easily get to either Los Cris or Las Americas.

    Jewellery, must admit I'm a cheap date, I generally buy from the looky looky men for everyday stuff because I can change it to match whatever I am wearing (leave the good stuff at home for when I am going somewhere special). There is a nice shop on the Mirador strip where Cru and I went one day, they have all sorts of things in there and as you get to the back of the shop loads of jewellery.

    If it was me they would be deleted but I don't have time today to do it.

    I did start to plit it last night and think Hannah should be left as a serious thread. You will get the odd little off comment but to totally hijack was real bad.

    Hannah, welcome back....have a good look at pubs with Entertainment on here. The very best but expensive for drinks, in my opinion is St Eugens but there are many very good entertainment bars in your catchment area.
    As you have not been for ages I am sure things like money exchange are of interest to you so we will endeavor to keep you and others updated with the latest Tenerife rates and best places to go.
    My wife buys quite a lot in the Jewelers on the walk through to Los Cris beach from Las Americas.
    If you need directing to anywhere you see do not be afraid to ask. We can put maps and pics on.

    I received a PM this week (not from this forum I hasten to add) accusing me of being on commission as I always recommend Tenerife Sunshine [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] If only, I would be rich by now, but I honestly think they are one of the best on the island. If you go on their website they offer discounts to the prices they sell in the shops and if you are unsure about whether anything is suitable or not for your needs you can chat live to the girls online. They really do offer an excellent service and while I am not saying any other excursion shop may be the least bit dodgy, these guys have been around for approx 15 years so are going nowhere.
