Ten Jewelry Shops in Shanghai to Spice Up Any Wardrobe

Ten Jewelry Shops in Shanghai to Spice Up Any Wardrobe
By Andrea Scarlatelli , eChinacities.com

Everyone knows that in China, Shanghai is the place to go for shopping. Walking down the street often resembles a mash-up of international runways. But all those trendy threads are nothing without some hot accessories to spice things up. From cheap fashion accessories to quality craftsmanship, Shanghai has got something for every taste (and price range).

Pearl CityView In Map
Also known as the Hongqiao Pearl Market, this is the place to go when you're looking for cheap, cheap, cheap. They have everything from costume jewelry to (ahem) “pearls,” and they're not afraid to show you. Prices are generally cheaper here than in other fake markets, as it’s a bit more out of the way than the Nanjing Xi Lu market. Speaking of which. . .

Fenshine Fashion and Accessories PlazaView In Map
Whether you call it the Fake Market, TaoBao City, or by its given name, the Fenshine Fashion and Accessories Plaza is the quintessential Shanghai experience. Prepare to dig in your heels as you bargain hard, long, and often loudly to get the best deals on silver jewelry, “pearls,” traditional Buddhist prayer bracelets and more.

Jin DianView In Map
Don't be fooled by this store's odd location, tucked inside the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum metro station (Line 2). Jin Dian offers a small, chic setting in which to browse their luscious rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and barrettes. A self-described mixture of “Chinese and Southeast Asian ethnic styles,” their unique settings and stones are perfect conversation starters.

MeidoView In Map
While Meido is not exclusively a jewelry store (they also sell clothing and purses), its unusual earrings alone make it worth putting on this list. Many of their earring offerings are crafted out of things most people would overlook: porcelain, shell, ribbon, cloth. . . You can wear it all on your ears! These are definitely made for those looking to make a statement.

Josie ChenView In Map
A favorite on the runway, Josie Chen's creations are a little bit chic, a little bit rock n' roll. Her favorite color is black, a fact that should become obvious in the first few seconds of browsing the selection. The delicate yet hard-edged designs make for an interesting contrast. Expect lots of layers, beading, and playful fabrics such as velvet.

Folli FollieView In Map
With countless locations scattered about the city, this Greek jewelry import is a mainstay in Shanghai.

PH7View In Map
If you haven't seen a PH7 store around, you apparently never walk out your front door. Shanghai's favorite (and seemingly most abundant) local brand aims for a fusion of traditional Chinese and modern styles. They mainly focus on silver when designing their bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. Also keep this place in mind when you're looking for your man's next gift – they carry a funky selection of cufflinks too.

Marion Carsten JewelryView In Map
Originally from Germany, Marion Carsten uses her European background to “reinterpret formal elements” of Chinese culture into her jewelry collection. Using an unusual mix of materials, such as leather, precious metals, and pearls (sometimes all in the same piece!), Carsten's jewelry remains some of the most easily identifiable in town.

Tel: 021 6415 3098

Tiffany & Co.View In Map
There's really no explanation needed for this one is there? Tiffany & Co., perhaps the most well-known jewelry brand in the world, has set up shop in little old Shanghai and those into simple, sophisticated designs could not be happier. From their classic Tiffany heart pendant (250 USD) to their yellow diamond ring (10,000 USD), it's the only place on this list to have its name in a movie title. And that should say it all.

Add: Shop 116, Jing'an City Plaza, 1618 Nanjing Xi Lu, near Huashan Lu, Shanghai
