Located in Bocagrande, a neighborhood on the eastern edge of the city, Caribe Jewelry was founded by three brothers in 1983. The facility is far more than just another jewelry store: it doubles as a museum. Visitors to the museum learn about the history, techniques and heritage around emeralds and gold. Then, they are given the option to buy emerald and gold jewelry of their own.

Past visitors were impressed with the museum aspect of the attraction, saying that the tour is very informative and showcases many beautiful pieces. They also mention that an indoor, air-conditioned activity is always a plus. Visitors can expect a sales pitch at the end of the museum, but there is little pressure to make a purchase.

Entrance to the museum costs $10 per person; admission is free for anyone who buys jewelry at the store. The museum and store are open 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
