all the taxi drivers know where it is.street name is jl hasanudin they mainly sell the 70 to 80 % gold.doubt if you will find the 9ct gold like in australia there.but the good news is you will only be paying the spot gold price on the day.not the 100% mark up that jewlers use.we bought a 70%braclet 10 years ago for $AUD 300.00.was valued at $AUD 1,200.00 here.that was when gold was around $AUD 300.00an oz.so the same bracelet would now cost appx $AUD 1,200.00 in bali. and would be worth around $AUD4,800.00 here.just type gold in search box and everything you would want to know is there.the mosts important thing to remember is you are only paying for the price of gold on the day.they do not charge anything extra for the craftsmanship needed to make rings bracelets necklaces etc.
