Caribbean and Emerald Jewelry Museum : info and guided tour

Introduction to the Caribbean and Emerald Jewelry Museum

Located in Cartagena de Indias, the Caribbean and Emerald Jewelry Museum combines a museum space with a jewelry store specializing in Colombian emeralds. Situated in the historic center at Cl. 5 #2-51, it is part of a city known for its colonial heritage and artisanal activity linked to precious stones.

The place is especially appreciated for highlighting the emerald, Colombia’s emblematic gemstone. Visitors can discover jewelry pieces and objects that illustrate stone craftsmanship, as well as gain insight into the place of this gemstone in local culture. The whole experience blends exhibition, expertise, and sales.

This museum-jewelry store attracts visitors who want to understand, in one place, the world of emeralds and that of Cartagena jewelry. Its appeal lies both in the presentation of the jewelry, the country’s mineral identity, and its proximity to the historic fabric of the old city.
