In Reply to: gold shop posted by col j on Thursday, 25. August 2005 at 19:25 Bali Time:
map reference - Lonely Planet Bali guide, p82, c4, marked as point of interest 24. Shops are around corner of Jl Sulawesi and Jl Hasanduin.
About 10-15 minute walk heading north from Ramayana department store.
All shops carry much the same stock but a few have some different and more interesting pieces. Everything is clearly marked with gold purity - eg 70% purity = 18 carat - and weight in grams.
Not much room for bargaining as price is directly related to price of gold.
Shop we bought at was Borobudur in Jl Hasanduin almost opposite start of Jl Sulawesi.
Hope this helps.
