joyeria caribe museum & factory

It was a wonderful experience touring the museum and purchasing emeralds. Salesperson was most helpful. I would definitely shop there again if traveling to Cartagena.

Guides bring you to the Emerald Museum, but it is primarily a jewelry store. Just be aware that the real purpose is to sell you emerald jewelry. As long as you know that, it is a beautiful store.

I thorough enjoyed my time here,as well as the information given during ny tour! The sales people were not pushy but we're very informative and answered my questions with a smile! I would highly recommend The Caribe museum and factory!

We have been at the main location before.This time we were in the smaller location in the center of the walled city.There is a much bigger selection at the main location.I think, you can get some good quality jewelry there and of course you have to work on the price.That is the most fun of it.I have the fun, the wife gets the stuff...ha-ha.

Always visited Caribe when in Cartagena, bought various items over the years and again this year February while on a cruise. Also repaired a link in daughters bracelet under the life time guarantee. Great value and very nice people not too pushy as well.

The "museum" part is interesting, but beware that Colombians seem to use the word museum as a marketing ploy to get you into their retail shop. That being said, this joyeria (jewelry store) had an excellent "museum"'that is very informative about emeralds and they do have the most incredible displays that are worth seeing. Beware that in Cartagena, emerald prices are much higher admit is more touristy, so if you happen to be traveling to bogota, it is a better bet to head to la candeleria to purchase emeralds...just keep a much tighter grip on your walker as crime in bogota is much higher than in Cartagena.

Especially if you are considering purchasing emeralds at very good prices. The museum tour was actually interesting.

Great time and learned a lot about emeralds. Once I learned about them I then had the chance to purchase one. Love My Ring!!!

Tour was interesting and availability of jewelry very diverse, from expensive to reasonable pieces. Our tour guide took us here after I mentioned I was looking for earrings for my wife for our 10th anniversary. Glad we went.

That was a very interesting tour through the Museum and factory. The most beautiful emeralds are from Colombia a must see if you go to Cartagena.

Very personal service from Maria made this an interesting visit for both parents and our 7 year old. Enjoyed the emerald museum there, and they have plenty of beautiful emerald jewelry for sale at various price levels.

I'm not into cut/polished/faceted jewels; but Maria Eugenia Zuniga helped me find the ideal "raw" emerald earrings and then a pendant that matched perfectly. All my friends and family raved about my Facebook post. Ask for her by name and you won't be disappointed.

We visited the museum and factory as part of a cruise ship excursion. First we went to a school to teach under privileged students how to make jewelery and polish and set emeralds. We continued to the museum and factory where some of the employees were graduates of the school working at the jewelery benches. The tour of the museum with it's mock emerald mine made us feel as if we had visited a real mine. It was fascinating. Finally, the jewelery that was made in the factory and is on display is gorgeous and glittery. They negotiate on prices, so don't pay what is on the ticket! I bought 60 carat emerald earrings at a fourth what I would have paid in the States.
