Marrakech, Morocco

In Marrakech, there are many great places to shop for jewelry, and much of the gold is sold in the Jewish quarter known as Mellah. This is an artisan city where you can buy directly from the people who made the jewelry, rather than the middlemen.

Morocco's major cities, such as Marrakesh, have "mazes" of souks that line the streets with their wares, but souks can also be found in smaller towns. This is an excellent place to shop for chunky and stylish silver jewelry. Some of the best shops in Marrakesh to visit include Joanna Bristow, Jewels, Gallerie Al Yel, and the Khalid Art Gallery.
