Pearl shopping
No trip to Hyderabad can be complete without purchasing some fine pearl jewellery. Each shop has its specialities and it's better to check out several before making up your mind. For black and purple pearl earrings with zircon and platinum finish (priced between Rs 180 and Rs 250), visit a shop called 'Princess Pearls'. Pearl junk jewellery costs between Rs 100 and Rs 200 at 'Sri Jagadamba Pearls', while pearl bangles cost around Rs 400. 'Krishna Pearls' is another place near Charminar known for genuine pearls. It has branches at most five-star hotels in the city.
