I wanna share another Jakarta find… a gem of a place called Pistos. It’s a jewelry shop that is more accessible to my budget and with stylish, modern designs that are just to-die-for! Photos of the jewelry shop and the pieces that caught my eye after the jump!
Pistos Jewelry is designed by two gorgeous Jakartans, Dian & Sandy. But they also have some guest designers from New York. So the designs and materials are very eclectic! Though these pieces aren’t solid gold, they are usually solid silver/brass, then plated with gold/rose gold and studded with precious gemstones. They also have very luxe lucite pieces. For the materials used and workmanship, the prices are quite reasonable.
I am a big fan of their solid brass pieces. One of the benefits of buying from Pistos, is free-plating/polishing/cleaning if in the future your bling loses some of its sparkle. Awesome right?
MY LUST LIST…
Solid brass bangles (one with silver tips)
Bib necklace in solid brass and genuine turquoise
Rose gold-plated earrings with turquoise studs
CAFE
If you feel like taking a break after browsing their stuff, have a cappuccino and an oatmeal cookie in their quaint little cafe.

diplomaticwife says
March 20, 2013 at 12:40 PMHi Atri, the prices are actually quite reasonable for the quality and material used. The arrow bangles are 700.000 each if I recall correctly. What do you think of that price? Yay or nay??

March 5, 2014 at 2:45 PMDear Prinka, I did a post on this shop because I love their designs. I was not able to note all the prices because there are too many. To give you an idea I bought brass drop earrings for 500.000 and the arrow bangles were 700.000. You should visit the shop to check the prices if you like the designs, whether you buy anything or not, it is lovely looking at the gorgeous pieces.
