Gold and jewelry

  • Ponte Vecchio is an old bridge, a dainty place for those looking for exclusive Italian bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants and other things made of precious metals and stones lovely to any woman. We should not forget about the jewelry shops in city alleys. On the bridge, the buyer will find a huge selection in one place, but there is a possibility of losing in the quality of the goods.
