Hyderabad also has a range of local markets where you can shop for pearls, real, cultured or imitation. They are Laad Bazaar, Koti Sultan Bazaar, Begum Bazaar, Basheer Bagh, Madina Market and Patharghata.
Beware of fake pearls. Do the standard teeth gritting test to be sure, real pearls are luminous, heavier and cold to the touch. If you’re looking for the best quality real pearls, a premium store is an answer. But if you’re looking for affordable pearls, you can try off-brand stores in one of the above-mentioned markets also.
If you’re looking to buy pearls online, try one of the jeweller websites we’ve listed above, or else if you’re ever in Hyderabad, do visit some of its finest pearl jewellery stores to enjoy the pearl shopping experience in a retail store.
