Jewellery

There are two kinds of jewellery that is popular in Rameshwaram. The ones made from beads and trinkets using sea shells as well as pure gold and silver ones. Earrings and necklaces made of palm leaves and coconut shells are also popular in these parts. For budget purchases, check out the large range of imitation, pearl and sea shell jewellery. Special mention must be made of pearl jewellery as it is available in abundance here. However, it is wise to exercise prudence as many of the pearls are not real, especially the ones sold in smaller street side stores. Exquisite earrings, neck pieces, finger rings and bangles are on display here and you will certainly be spoilt for choice. Alternately, if you want the real thing, check out the gold jewellery stores in Varthakan Street that retail pure gold jewellery.
