Los Angeles Jewelry
The second largest city in the United States, the City of Angels has gained recognition worldwide as an international center of trade, culture, technology and entertainment. Los Angeles is probably most well known for its massive television, cinema, theater and music industries. But there's certainly more to Los Angeles than paparazzi and Tinseltown. Besides being home to Hollywood, this sunny city also harbors one the most diverse populations in the US, and the urban landscape is colored by multi-ethnic neighborhoods. Check out LA born skate-boarding culture at the Venice Skatepark dubbed a "skaters utopia" or wander through the LA zoo and botanical gardens. Of course, no trip to LA is complete without hitting up the beaches, The Getty Museum, and of course world-famous shopping districts like Rodeo Drive, Robertson Boulevard, and Melrose Avenue, which are lined with glamorous couture and funky boutiques, cosmopolitan cafes and gourmet restaurants.
Los Angeles is a shopper's delight. Anyone looking for loose diamonds, wedding rings, engagement rings or high-end jewelry can wander into the most exclusive designer jewelry boutiques in LA. The Jewelry District in Downtown Los Angeles, one of the most extensive in the United States, is a mecca for fancy jewelry, immaculate diamonds, precious gemstones and pearl jewelry. Excellent quality jewelry boutiques are scattered around Hollywood, Bel Air and Brentwood. A stroll down Rodeo Drive will take you past world-famous designer jewelry shops like the House of Harry Winston, who frequently decks out the stars for the red carpet, the luxurious Gucci Jewelry Boutique and veteran jeweler Tiffany & Co. For a more educational look at diamonds and gemstones, the Natural History Museum houses a permanent collection of over 2,000 precious diamonds and minerals, and some interactive exhibits give visitors a chance to handle these rare and precious gems.
