Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Lima right now.
Hundreds of stores around Lima offer traditional crafts of varying quality. The same goes for silver and gold jewelry. Wander down Avenida La Paz in Miraflores and you'll be astounded at the number of shops selling silver knick-knacks, elaborate jewelry, and antiques. The district is also full of crafts shops, many of them along Avenida Petit Thouars. For upscale merchandise, many shoppers head to the boutiques of San Isidro. For original works of art and the highest-quality handicrafts, Barranco has excellent small galleries.
It's unlikely you'll find gold jewelry elsewhere as distinctive as the pieces at H. Stern. The well-regarded South American chain specializes in designs influenced by pre-Columbian art. There are also branches in the Larco Herrera Museum, the Miraflores Park Hotel, and the airport.
If you're looking for silver jewelry, gifts, or household items, you can't do better than the chic designs of Ilaria, which also has small shops at Calle Los Eucaliptos 578, next to the Country Club Lima Hotel, in the lobby of The Westin, and at the airport.
