4 Best Gold Shops In The Grand Bazaar Of Istanbul To Buy Gold
Jewellery shops in Grand Bazaar Istanbul
The fame of gold shops in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul is worldwide, and that is why some tourists go to the Grand Bazaar to buy jewellery and gold.
During my trip to Istanbul, I saw many tourists who had travelled to Istanbul to celebrate their wedding anniversary and gave each other a gold ring as a gift that they had bought from gold shops in the Grand Bazaar.
Since goldsmith’s wages in Turkey are lower than in the US and labour is cheap in Turkey, many people tend to upgrade their jewellery and buy new jewellery when they travel to Istanbul because the price of jewellery here is lower than in some other countries.
For this reason, in this article, I will share with you the experience of visiting gold shops in Grand Bazaar and talk to you about jewellery shops in Grand Bazaar Istanbul and the guide to buying gold in the market.

At the very beginning, I do not receive any profit from introducing any of the jewellery stores below. I only know them based on my own experience and talking to the people of Istanbul, and I intend to introduce them to you.
All kinds of gold bars, bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings are sold in the gold shops of the Grand Bazaar, the prices of which may vary from one shop to another.

Is it safe to buy gold in grand bazaar Istanbul?
In response to this question, there are always some sellers who intend to defraud tourists. Ask the seller for appraisals or certifications to guarantee the authenticity of the gold and jewelry.
There is also an Istanbul Gold Refinery with the IGR mark in the city, where you can take your gold for grading after buying it to make sure of its authenticity.
In conclusion
Buying gold in the Grand Bazaar is very enjoyable, but you should be careful when buying from shops so that they don’t scam you. That’s why I recommend that you purchase gold from the authentic one that I introduced above.
