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.

Kay's Fine Jewelry

In 1989, the family began a journey that would take them from India to the Caribbean and into the hearts of many wonderful people. Kay’s Fine Jewelry was born as a family endeavor and, today, with locations throughout the 5 Caribbean islands, it remains a family owned and operated business with deep values in customer service and customer loyalty. Customers Are Extended Family: At Kay’s Fine, they adhere to the belief that truly meaningful customer service is as precious as any stone. They understand that people come to them seeking more than a piece of jewelry. They come to celebrate moments, commemorate milestones, remember loved ones, and build their own family legacies to pass down. In essence, they come to this family store looking to celebrate their own. Founder’s son Tesh Chugani expresses that “Each item purchased at KFJ, irrespective of dollar value, is celebrated and is a story. A Story about when, why, and who you were with”

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’!

Gemani Jewelers Aruba

Reviewed By rickengle_traveler - Washington DC, United States

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.

Touch of Gold is the only place I will go when visiting Aruba for Marahlago larimar. The artists' collection is stunning and when you add to that the best available price, outstanding customer service from Ryan and the staff, you will happily become a repeat customer. Why buy from any other place when the experience here is like no other. Super friendly and thoughtful. Highly recommend.

What a fun place to check out some delightful & delicious rum! There's quite a variety of flavors and unlimited tasting. Julie, our hostess, was fun and helpful...and we got a kick out of her being from the same area of PA as us! I don't know how many flavors we tasted, but it took some thought to decide what to buy! If you want to take some home in your checked luggage, Julie does a great job of wrapping it in bubble wrap. They also have some yummy hot sauces, old license plates, and some amusing jewelry. It's in a small plaza and definitely worth seeking out!
