Ring fitting, nice belt, sunglasses, Saudi sandals

Allons-y

Instead of opening a bunch of threads, I'm putting different questions into one thread.

1) Where can I get a ring refitted? It's not an expensive ring, just a ring from a friend that is too big.  Also: would a ring refitting be cheaper here or in the U.S.?

2) Which brands do you recommend for a nice black men's belt to be worn with pants, a shirt, and a tie? I almost always go for a style that's more Turkish/Italian/Spanish/French than British/American, so I would like the look to be more Zara than Banana Republic, for example.  However, I want a belt that is going to last.  I have experience with a Perry Ellis belt that had to be tossed after not too long, so I am willing to spend more for something that is nice and durable. 

3) For those with experience in the States: how do prices and the selection of sunglasses in Jeddah compare to prices/selection in the U.S.? Is one better off looking in Jeddah or the U.S.?

4) Where can I get nice Saudi-style sandals? I don't need the highest quality sandals, but I wouldn't want to buy a pair that will fall apart after two months of use.

Thanks for any input with these four items.  :)

Hi,
1.    You can refit rings in any gold shop (if it was gold for SR10-25) or in any silver shop if it was silver or metal. I usually go to the accessories shops in the gold souq of Al Bawadi or ShataÂ’a souq and they can do it for SR5-10.
2.    Massimo dutti and Hugo Boss are the best for long lasting Italian style belts.
3.    No idea
4.    Are we talking about menÂ’s Saudi-style sandals? if yes  you can buy the typical design ones called Madaass Sharqi for SR45-60 from Khalidia or any none-branded shoe shops all over town. The best ones are made by an old guy in Qabil street in Balad after Nasif house to your left. Handmade lather and last forever for SR80-120
