The 10 Best Shopping in Aruba, Aruba
Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

Lovely family owned business. They have great customer service. I brought in a ring that I did not buy from their store that was deformed, but KP (the owner) went in the back and bent in back into shape again as a complimentary service. Which I found really nice! They also have an in-house gold smith and said if I need something custom made with diamonds or whatever design, they can do it for me. That is always good to know ;)Very kind employees! I contacted them first on FB messenger where they responded well and quickly to all my questions.

When in Aruba and looking for trendy beachwear, accessories and souvenirs, the place to shop is The Juggling Fish, located outside Playa Linda Resort, on the beach. Whenever in Aruba I always stop in and manage to find something spectacular. Be sure to ask for Vonnie. Vonnie provides excellent service, always with a smile and very professional.

My wife and I just returned from a bead making class with Marian. This is a very interesting 3hr hands on class on make glass beads using a torch. If you’re looking for something different to do you must try this class. It really looks easier than it is using glass rods to make round beads. Marian is an incredibly patient teacher and really makes this class fun. The beads cool down and you can make many items to take home with you. Give them an email and reserve your spot. Classes are Monday and Thursday from 10am-1pm.

In 1989, the family began a journey that would take them from India to the Caribbean and into the hearts of many wonderful people.

Many years ago before our first trip to Aruba, reading many Tripadvisor reviews of things to do and see, we happened upon reviews about Kay’s Fine Jewelry. Since our hotel for that week was very close to Kay’s we had plenty of time to drop in and browse their huge selection of beautiful jewelry. This was six trips ago and when we first met Max. The Kay’s Fine Jewelry experience back then and the way Max dealt with us was perfect. No pressure, very helpful, and always fun. We were even offered, champagne, a cold beer, soda, or water during our visit. Since that trip along with another five trips to Aruba, we have always stopped in to shop Kay’s. Max has been our ‘go to guy’ ever since and he is always ready to help. Our most recent trip, during the second week of January, Max had great suggestions for a blue and white diamond bracelet to match a blue diamond ring we bought during a different Aruba trip. He also takes in our previous purchases and has them cleaned and buffed so they are gleaming, and has them inspected to make sure that all of the diamonds are perfectly mounted and in top condition. One time we needed something resized and Max easily took care of that. Joe at Kay’s has also been another great help to us when Max is busy. Max and Joe have always given us terrific ‘family’ prices. Every item purchased from them came with appraisals that are well over the purchase price. An added bonus for return visitors like us, is Kay’s trade up policy. We were able to trade up to bigger and better diamonds where they take back your original item and simply applied the original purchase price toward the new piece. This is another great benefit to shopping Kay’s. We’re looking forward to our next trip to Aruba and another chance to visit Kay’s Fine Jewelry and again ‘go to the Max’!

My wife and I visited Aruba last March (2020) for our honeymoon and checked out Little Switzerland for a watch to commemorate. Dennis was a great help. It was my first luxury watch purchase. He wasn't pushy at all, and let me try on whatever watch I wanted. I ended up getting an Omega Aqua Terra, and a year later, it's still a very happy purchase. Thanks Dennis!

I have been shopping with my wife at Gemani Jewelers for more than 15 years. We love the experience, the excellent service and the extra touch like offering a drink while we are shopping. Due to the sad state dealing with COVID-19, we have not been able to visit our beloved Aruba. Our anniversary was coming up and I had the idea to reach out to Gemani and see if I could do some remote shopping. I worked with the sales staff through email, shared my wife's tastes and past purchases at Gemani and the team sent me pictures of potential items. I settled on a beautify blue diamond necklace designed by Varsha. I bought it remotely, it was shipped to the US, all in time for a magical surprise for my wife. If you are ever in Oranjestad, and want to visit the best jewelry store, stop and by and enjoy the friendly staff and beautiful creations.

I cannot say enough about my beautiful engagement ring my fiance purchased from Ronnie at Time Square Aruba. The ring is everything I could have asked for and my fiance told me just how amazing his experience was working with Ronnie from start to finish. Ronnie did an incredible job at walking him through the process and helped him find me the ring of my dreams. We will absolutely be doing business here in the future and I highly recommend Time Square Aruba to anyone who is looking for incredible customer service, great prices, and quality jewelry!
