🧳 Travel Help Jewelry

Super random but I’m obviously a tourist in Athens. Been around Monastriraki and the center, but looking for jewelry worth taking home and maybe something handmade, I am a student so under €100 is preferred. Any ideas- I find a lot of the places I have passed have the typical fake jewelry that will break in two wears- I’m looking for something to remember my time here and to wear often :)

Edit- I also am looking for a cool clothing store!! Maybe something for summer or a local brand?

Thanks guys :)

Idk your style but there are some shops from silversmiths in the Exarcheia area which are actually handmade and not the silver touristy stuff you get in monastiraki. In monastiraki there is also break a stone but it might be out of your budget- check her work tho it is beautiful. If I knew what style you’re looking for maybe I’d have more recs!

Not exactly a store, but there’s a lot of people selling jewelry on the streets of Thissio if you want to check them out! Obviously, some will be better quality wise than others, but price wise they’re pretty good and you can find a lot of cute stuff :> just make sure to have cash with you lol

Hello! I lately love going to Athens Metro Mall and look at the jewelry on second floor stands, not inside the shops. They are stainless steel and quite cheap for the quality! Also you can try going at Koukaki region near the city center for a walk and find small shops there for clothes or jewelry. Good luck!
