It's so very easy to get ripped off in Bali.
You can buy a beautiful ring in Bali for far less than you would pay in Australia. If you take your design with you, Bruhan will have it made exactly as you want it and in can be done in a few days.
For those people thinking of using a jeweller in Bali, I would like to pass on the name of a business that I know to be extremely honest.
The Jeweller that I always use, is near the big Art market and the lane where all the silver shops are in Denpasar, Bruhan's English is excellent and he will come to your hotel if you ask him. His work is both outstanding and inexpensive,he is honest and very reliable.
I have had a four rings remodelled in the last two years and they are brilliant. I wouldn't go anywhere else for jewllery. I have had each ring valued when I returned to Adelaide and I have been delighted with each valuation, each one was far higher than I had expected
I know many people who have had work done by Bruhan over the years and they keep going back, it was through their recommendations that I decided to use him. I intend to make further purchases from him next month. His name and address are
