Shopping on Commercial Street is always a delight. You can pick up an entire wardrobe from clothes to shoes and accessories here. Jewellery shopping too can be particularly rewarding especially if you love pieces crafted from silver.

Sri Suryanarayan Art Jewellers
A legend on Commercial Street, Suryanarayan has been around for three decades now. The compact shop stocks up on everything from simple silver bands to trendy jhumkas. What we love about this store is the sheer range of designs. Traditional motifs like elegant birds rub shoulders with chic geometrical patterns.

Silvers
The collection, at this Dispensary Road shop, is super stylish to say the very least. You can browse through boxes looking for the perfect nose pins — these can be simple, stone studs or intricate designs. Our vote also goes to their collection of earrings that feature traditional motifs like peacocks and miniature deities. You can also buy silver bead necklaces and over the top anklets.

Narayan Jewellers
Want to stock up your jewellery box with silver earrings of all kinds, then, this place will prove to be paradise. One of the large stores around Commercial Street, you can browse through glass cases with seemingly endless designs. You can pick up studs with semi-precious stones or go for long earrings with colourful inlays. If you are a fan of jhumkas, you have to check out the collection here that ranges from traditional patterns to the more elaborate, glass work. However, if you are looking for little trinkets like nose pins, this is not the place to go to.
