Haggling, negotiating is expected. Be careful, they will serve many drinks at the jewelry store ! It's fun shopping, but sometimes more than you would budget.

I agree with cruisingUK; we have purchased various pieces over the course of our trips and always stick with the reputable ones, especially ones that have a US presence. We did have a problem with a setting on one piece and it was taken care of in NY with them paying postage both ways, insured and did a great job of repairing it. Also, we have always had our jewler locally check out our purchases and said we got alot of quality and quantity for the price.
