Rare franski Posted March 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi there - Just wondering about availability of amber jewellry in Russia... especially in St. Petersburg. There has been lots written about other souvenirs - but no one has said anything about amber. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand74 Posted March 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2012 A couple of years ago...we did a cruise to the Baltic...and went to St. Petersburg. During the entire cruise they were selling amber....it was all over the place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted March 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi Fran, When we went last year, it was all St. Petersburg. Didn't notice anything in Moscow since we had only a day and one half there. Have a great time. I'm sure you will post here when you return. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare franski Posted March 24, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks... I am hoping to get a brooch (or 2) while I am there if it is a reasonable price. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williegirlcat Posted March 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi Fran, Yes, it is all found all over. A bit more maney than in Poland, but a lot less than in Scandinavia. The quality may be not as good, but as souvenirs, or to wear to work, it's fine. The handpainted pins and earrings are a good price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Coral Posted March 25, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I bought some amber jewelry in Moscow at a store on Arbat Street. I would try to buy it at a real jewelry store or nice store and not off the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
