I thought this was an unnecessary stop and it was not included in the original description of the tour we chose.
Seemed like a tourist shopping stop and Yes I did buy something, so I guess it worked.

The place is great filled with nice pieces of silver . I got the replica of the heart necklace and ring , my husband got the Miyan warrior statue . Husband and I were not prepared for spending a lot . You can say no to impulse buying ,I didnt feel pushed but my husband felt pressure when he saw all the other husband buying things for there wives
, I think the tour guides and the shop plotted that to include in the tour .
It was nice but I wish we had not done that cause it caused some friction on our trip .

Plateria Rafael had me excited about getting myself a little something. However, the owners wife pushes people to buy things and follows you around. Not allowing yourself to enjoy your time there. Picking things out to buy. Making you feel guilty if you tell them no. I ended up buying a bracelet, a lot of earrings and a few for my daughter.
Now… I didn’t care to leave a review until last night when my earring fell off. I realized I needed to clean it and when I started to clean it, it feel apart. That’s when I realized the “stone” on my earrings were made out of plastic. They’re not real at all. I feel horrible because my husband spent a lot of money on my daughter and I.
I would not purchase ANYTHING from here. Save your money and buy from other local places that don’t advertise for tourists.

The owner was very friendly and genial. When my tour guide brought me here, the owner gave me a demonstration. I was impressed by the art and the items on display. They have good Silver jewelry and stone sculptures. Prices are not that cheap, but the quality was great. The sales person was helpful. I chose a wonderful Mayan Chief sculpture and a silver bracelet. It was a good experience overall.

So, we went to the jewelry shop and they have pictures with leo di caprio, and they trick us into buying the “exact repkica of the blue heart of titanic.. they said Rafael cordova was the Mexican designer of the blue heart of the movie. They convinced my mother and later that day I researched it and his name was nowhere to be found or associated with the movie. I guess it was out bad on not researching beforehand but It is so wrong to mislead people into buying expensive jewelry!!

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. I forced here to drop off by the tour. Even though the goods and people here are nice, just a waste of time for people who have no interest.

Really enjoyed our visit to this shop. Mr Rafael and the staff were very nice and the entertainment was great. I even made a purchase, which I rarely do. Well worth the stop during our day trip.

I came here as part of a city tour. The history of this shop is very interesting. They bring raw filver from Tusco and refine it here. Rafael has made jewellery for films like Titanic and Romeo & Juliet as well as celebrities like Ronaldo.
The jewellery is beautiful and very good value compared with English prices. I bought a chunky silver choker and Rafael engraved my name on to the back of it right in front of me.

Avoid going to this jewelry store YOU MAY BE SCAMMED. Be alert, I bought a bracelet for $180 dollars and they scammed me by adding an extra zero to the bill for $1800 dollars. The saddest thing is that the owner acknowledged the mistake once we spoke to him on the phone; however, his business has been unable for the past two (2) months to make up for the mistake, returning the money they literally stole. So be careful if you go to this establishment. You may be scammed by their salespeople.

I booked a trip that included visiting Rafael and his wonderful shop. His story is fascinating and he made a piece while we were on a tour there that he gave to me. I bought silver bracelets and hoop earrings and a necklace and keychain I love everything and wished I had more time to shop! It’s so worth the trip
