The Ponte Vecchio
Florence is located in the beautiful and scenic Tuscany region of Italy. Florence is known for its beauty, history, architecture and museums. Florence is also known worldwide for its leather products and 18k gold jewelry. Where ever I travel I always make it a point to ask locals where they shop. This was certainly the case when shopping in Florence, Italy.
Basilica of Santa Croce
During our trip to Florence I asked our tour guide where she would normally buy Florentine leather and gold products. Without any hesitation she said Misuri – The Leather Guild and The Gold Market located in the historic square of Piazza Santa Croce. The inventory of leather and 18k gold was absolutely amazing! My preference in jewelry is gold. I literally had to take a deep breath when viewing the beautiful 18k jewelry made in Florence. I was like a kid in a candy store. There were so many choices I could not decide what to purchase. I eventually decided on two items, a delicate necklace that when the light hits it shimmers beautifully and a Rolo chain bracelet. I also purchased two leather handbags, a leather bracelet and a leather lipstick holder, all are inscribed with “Made In Italy”. Whenever I open the lipstick holder and see the “Made in Italy” inscription I am reminded of the amazing shopping experience in Florence, Italy.
