The
Singapore Jewellers' Association (SJA) has advised tourists to buy
jewellery from retailers accredited with the Singapore Jewellers'
Association or who carry the Jeweller Trust or Case Trust logo. Its
announcement follows a series of complaints by tourists from China who
told the Chinese daily, Lianhe Zaobao that they were "ripped
off" by jewellers in Singapore who sold them fake products.
