Bangladesh Shopping

Jute carpets

by Saagar

Several places offer colorful and beautiful jute carpets for sale. They tend to come in the prayer rug size as the standard, and then as larger floor covers, runners etc. Jute carpets do not survive very long, they get worn and frayed after some time of use as floor rugs. OK for wall decorations and as prayer mats, though.For the floor, you better look outside Bangladesh to find South Asian and Central Asian silk carpets (plenty of cash at hand is a must) or cotton or wool carpets from India or Tibetan style wool carpets from Nepal. Jute carpets. 20 dollars and up, depending on size.

several of them: Pink pearls

by Saagar

Several shops and jewelries in Bangladesh have a good selection of the indigenous pink pearls. The pinkyness is caused by the river silt that actually pollute the river and brackish-water pearls. Pink pearls come in a variety of qualities and price categories, set or unset in gold or other metal jewelry.Personally I find the pink pearls matched with the dark yellow gold (22-24k) of Bangladesh' goldsmiths very attractive. Also mixed with red rubies they do a good job.Compared to India's and especially Nepal's rather bulky and standard indigenous investment jewelry, Bangladesh seems to have a finer, more delicate and artistic flavour to its jewelry. You will find something you like at the cost you can afford. All options are there. But basically, you pay very little for the actual art work done by the jeweler.The pearls are priced according to color, lustre, size and roundness. Be smart...
