We are considering coming to St Thomas to purchase some jewelry. We have heard that you can get diamond rings and other items for about 1/2 the price that you can get these in the states. Is this accurate? What jewelry stores are located in St. Thomas?
I don't think its 1/2 the price, perhaps someone else will comment, but definitely good prices, and its duty free. You can also try negotiating, and they have a wide variety of items and quality in the wide variety of shops in Charlotte Amalie. (We happened to get our diamonds at Cardows, but we saw many beautiful pieces elsewhere..) My recommendation is to do some research on the jewelry you intend to buy (gold/diamonds/jewels/watches) before you start shopping if you aren't familiar already. (this would be true no matter where you are shopping...) Don't be afraid to shop around either.
Other shops include: Omni, Royal Caribbean, Diamonds International, Trident, Little Switzerland and I am missing many many others...
