Brazil : typical souvenirs and crafts

Shopping

Brazil is the foremost world producer of coloured stones: aquamarines, amethysts, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and topaz. Go to specialised shops that sell precious and semi-precious stones with a guarantee of authenticity. For example, go to Moreno, Rua Xavier da Silveira 23, a couple of steps away from the beach of Copacabana. The Nordeste (North-East) manufactures hammocks, embroidered linen for the house, pottery, leather work, silver work, articles made of straw, musical instruments, naive paintings, and wooden carvings. Amazonia specialises in bows, arrows, objects in carved wood, ornaments in bird feathers, baskets in coloured straw, and jewels. In Rio, fashion and decoration shops can be found in Visconde de Pirajá Street, in the district of Ipanema. In Salvador, the Mercado Modelo offers more than 200 shops that contain all the craftwork. Shops are usually open from 9.00am to 6.00pm, apart from Sundays.
