How to Buy Jewelry in Adana, Turkey

Adana, Turkey, is a beautiful Turkish city that is a major distribution center for Turkey's agricultural region. It is also a city where beautiful jewelry can be found for low prices – if you know when to go and where to look. Jewelry, especially gold jewelry, in Turkey is of excellent quality and can be found inexpensively.

Instructions

1. Visit Adana to buy jewelry when the jewelry trade show is in town. That way, you have more options and better likelihood of getting a good price. The trade show visits once a year in April at the Tuyap Adana International Exhibition and Congress Center.

2. Compare shops and prices. If you're there in April, you can check out the trade show, but there are other options as well. Many stores have good jewelry and might be willing to negotiate prices, including Boga Kuyumcu, a jewelry store located at Saydam Cad. Nuri Has Pasaji 49. You can also explore the department stores and other downtown stores.

3. Negotiate a price. After you've taken a look at your options and have seen what the cost is, see if you can talk to the jewelry store owner or the people at the trade show and see if you can get them to lower the price based on what the other place is offering. Also, while you're doing that, be sure to check out what their return policy is. You don't want to buy jewelry that you decide against the next day and get stuck with it.

4. Purchase the piece when you're sure you're satisfied and are confident you want the piece. Make sure you know the piece's actual value and that you don't have any concerns about price or anything else. Go home confident that you made a good purchase. Again, don't be afraid to negotiate a price if you think it's too high.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you know which method of payment you can use. It's possible not all the stores will take credit cards, and if you're a foreigner, they might not take checks either.

• Avoid people trying to help you. It's a scam used frequently, and they might be paid to bring you to the store. If someone does help, it's likely he will get a piece of what you pay, which will be added to the price of what you're paying. It might help to negotiate and compare prices at other stores.
