Gemstone
The Gemstone Market in Rawabening, Jatinegara is one choice for you to consider. This is a place where precious and semi-precious stones are available for sale. This is a traditional market environment, so bargaining is expected, and the quality and origin of the stones can not be guaranteed. It will be a cultural experience.

Textile
Indonesia is famous for its' textile and garments industry. The colorful rainbow stripes of Timorese ikat contrasts with the deeper browns and oranges and navy blue of the ikat of the islands of Alor, Flores and Savu. Every color can be found in the soft cotton batiks of Java - the bright colors of the north coast cloths, especially from Cirebon and Pekalongan, and the fine browns, whites and indigos of the court cloths of Solo and Yogyakarta. From Bali there is a veritable explosion of color and texture - in both traditional and totally modern design.
