It can seem hard to find pretty and simple jewelry in Bogota. A lot of designers prefer to make big, busy pieces with a lot of colors. Don't get me wrong, some of them are beautiful, but if you are looking for something you can wear everyday and at a great price, this designer won't let you down. Everything is hand-made with high quality silver and can be adjusted to your size within a few day, at no extra cost. The address below is their "Atelier" and if you can make it there it's the best since they have the whole collection. However, you can also find their creations in many stores throughout in the city.

Colombia's big box superstore. The quality is good, and you will notice a significant difference in your receipt if you do your weekly shopping here as opposed to Carulla or Carrefour.

The same Rafael you can find in la Zona G along with the 2 other ones in Lima, La Despensa offers the same delicious Pisco Sour in a toned down atmosphere that fits better this up and coming neighborhood, Quinta Camacho. Their menu is also different than the other location and offers a very original selection of Peruvian classics. A great idea is to order a variety of plates and share so you can enjoy it all. Romantic dinner or a friend's birthday, a must.
