Podgorica Jewellery Shops

Jewellery shops in Podgorica cover the full range from inherited goldsmiths to international watch dealers. The centre's pedestrian zone along Slobode Avenue and Hercegovacka holds most of the older goldsmiths and the silver and amber boutiques, with the smaller workshops inside Stara Varos handling repair, custom design and the locally-made pieces. The international watch and high-jewellery brands sit inside the central shopping centres.

Montenegrin gold is typically eighteen-carat with the local hallmark for Podgorica plus a single trade-mark denoting the goldsmith. The traditional pieces still carry strong demand: silver filigree, the pojas wedding belt, the pafte fastenings on the bridal dress, and the larger amber pieces on chains. Prices vary widely with weight and design, a small silver pendant runs fifteen to forty euros, an eighteen-carat gold wedding band three hundred to seven hundred. Most shops accept card payment and offer custom design and engraving on a one-to-two-week turnaround.
