Default Turkish silver- Help needed

Hello everyone, I need your advice on this!

I am traveling to Istanbul in a few weeks and while there, I would like to buy sterling findings for my jewellry. I know there are silver wholesalers in the Grand Bazaar.

Is anybody here from Turkey, or has anyone been there lately and could inform me about what to expect price-wise? I am planning to stock up

check what the current market values are for gold/silver etc. it changes daily, but if you google "current gold and silver prices" you'll find today's numbers.

I haven't a clue as to where you would search out the silver market but I do order from silveran.com all the time. Omer is a top bloke and I'm sure would be able to help you.

Another suggestion would be to walk out of the spice bazaar and head up the street towards the Grand Bazaar. About a block or two (or maybe 3 or 4) there is a great bead shop one shop in from the corner on the left hand side of the street. On the corner, you'll find a wig shop and it's right next door. I don't remember if they have silver but they have an amazing collection of crystals for pretty reasonable prices.

Have a great time in Istanbul.
