Silver and gold rings, bracelets, chains, earrings, and pendants are in high demand not only for their elegant shapes, but also for their superb quality. It should be highlighted that buying jewelry at major stores is preferable since there is a smaller chance of getting duped. However, you can find good-quality jewelry at lower prices if you go to local markets or shops in old town areas. In addition to silver and gold, other precious materials such as coral, amber, jade, and turquoise are popular in Tunisia. These items are expensive but worth it because of their unique colors and patterns. Non-precious metals like aluminum, copper, and zinc are used too although they are less valuable. Tunisians love wearing necklaces and bracelets. There are several types of jewelry that men and women both enjoy wearing. When going out to eat or visiting friends, most people will wear at least one piece of jewelry. You will usually see more men wearing rings than women wearing rings though; women tend to prefer using hair accessories as rings. When traveling to Tunisia, keep in mind the different cultural norms when shopping for jewelry. For example, men generally do not wear rings, so if you plan on selling your jewelry, be sure to remove any man's rings before putting it up for sale.
