Does anyone know if there are any stores in St. Thomas that sell David Yurman jewelry at less than U.S. retail?

Yes there is a shop in yacht haven that sells it exclusively. HOWEVER there are no real bargains other than duty free. Yurman is a fixed price jewler. Lord knows I found that the hard way w/ wifee in tote

It will be less than stateside retail - duty free and no sales tax can be significant and there is also a Main Street location -- the downtown store - it does a lot more volume, has a wider selection and does have some specials.

The store that has the exclusive on David Yurman and John Hardy in the USVI is Jewels, though it looks like they may be changing all their locations to Little Switzerland. There's a store in Mongoose Junction on St John, Havensight and town on St Thomas, and a few hotels maybe on both islands.

Check the David Yurman website for prices, and then compare them to the "duty free" prices here. That's the best way to assure yourself you're getting a better than stateside price.

Being husband/father that has procured more David Yurman jewelry that he thought he would ever buy has a recommendation

Shop for the discontinued items. You can find some pretty good deals. Of course be knowledgeable of the product line and cost always helps

Best time for ladies to buy....
After a morning at the beach and cool cocktail are just a few steps away
Men are not interested in cost
They like cool beverages and women that sparkle

Heather C. in St John is very helpful

There is a David Yurman Boutique on Main Street in STT as well as carried in the Jewels stores on Waterfront Havensight and Crown Bay to name a few on STT.

The Caribbean Duty Free pricing IS less than US retail. If you check the stores periodically you will find other value options on their retired of heritage items that offer additional savings.

Designer lines have very strict discounting covenants (DY in particular) that do require their stores to stay within the correct parameters. If not followed, the line is taken away from the retailer. This has been done numerous times in the states when those retailers discounted beyond the DY guidelines.

Encourage you to visit the website and then visit the stores in USVI to make your decision.

Because of this thread I stopped by the Main St David Yurman store -- it is very nice with informative sales people and a wide selection - some items were reduced as discontinued etc. - definitely give it a look is my advice.
