One thing I discovered in Namdaemun is the plethora of little handmade accessories and jewelry artists/vendors that you can find in Korea. Sure, the ones in the Trillion building for example are making jewelry for wholesale and you can find everything from cheap trinkety type accessories to the more sophisticated feathers and pearl accessories.
There are also quite a few independent handmade jewelry makers around. By far though, my favourite is Dami on Karosogil (see my earlier post on this cool shopping street in Sinsa-dong). Their jewelry is delicate and easy to match. Their style makes it easy to layer several necklaces together and they also sell sets which are always more tempting than just buying one necklace. I think that's the point!
Their earrings tend to be the dangly type and are exquisite. They have a range of hair accessories as well but I never really pay any attention to them as I am often too distracted by their necklaces and earrings.
You will find Dami at the top end of Karosogil opposite Cafe Nescafe and right next to Farmers which specialises in Hair Accessories.
