Went to Carribbean Gems last week on a recommendation from an acquaintance. So glad i stopped in to check out the store at 40 Front St. Dealt with Pallavi and another young lady. Very knowledgeable and very accomodating. No pressure from these ladies. No need, the jewelry spoke for itself. By the time we left, I felt like a friend.... More

We have traveled to St Maarten many times. Very good friends recommended Caribbean Gems as an excellent store to shop for diamonds, colored gems, watches and gold. The moment we walked in Ahasan made us feel right at home. The quality of diamonds was excellent. Ahasan expalined the quality, cut, color, etc. and showed us diamond rings in our price... More

We have been going to St Maarten for years and we always stop in to Carribean Gems to see Ajay so he can have some of our money. If you are looking for gold, diamonds or watches, this is the place. You will pay half of what you would pay in the states. They really are caring people and their... More

So glad my husband and I stopped in at this jewellery store. We had amazing service from the moment we walked in. Jay took the time to explain the difference in the items we were considering to purchase without any pressure. We ended up buying a gorgeous diamond bracelet and a hearts and arrows diamond. I sat and watched my... More

From start to finish this was a pleasant experience for very expensive and very memorable purchase. The staff was warm and friendly, making us feel welcome immediately. And the prices were better than we could have hoped. My boyfriend proposed on our trip to St. Maarten. He gave me a 'placeholder' ring so we could shop for a proper ring... More

A couple on the ship recommended a jewelry shop called Caribbean Gems on the island if we were interested in making a jewelry purchase. They had been doing business with this shop for years and had been extremely satisfied with their... More

My friend Jan and I have been going to this store for well over 20 years and they are the most honest and friendliest people you'd ever want to meet. Honesty is a big thing when it comes to buying expensive jewelry and the various pieces I have purchased are worth well over what I paid for them! It's a... More
