Cardow's has been our family's on island jeweler for over 50 years and they never cease to amaze us with each visit. Upon our most recent and past few visits we have had the pleasure of working with Cynthia, who has made the experience that much more memorable. She always goes above and beyond to make sure we find exactly what we are looking for and with a year in between our last two visits - Cynthia personally greeted us as if we had just walked into the store yesterday. Cardow's selection is, and has always been top notch - with 4 locations on St. Thomas it's evident as to why. We would 100% recommend Cardow Jewelers as they are deeply enriched into the culture of St. Thomas and have been around since 1954.

Great place to get spices, hot sauces and other local items. I love Blind Betty’s sauce, among others and the prices here are the best. Will order from their online shop when home and run out of the supply I bought on vacation.

We discovered Ajanta Jewelers several years ago while in St. Thomas. The store is indeed a jewel, full of sparkle and shine all beautifully displayed. We returned this month to make a purchase and to see about having some inherited pieces restyled. Handsome Harry and his team are very knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed working with Harry to come up with just the right pieces. His creative input was extremely helpful in our decision-making process, and we couldn't be more pleased with our new jewelry. In the sea of St. Thomas jewelry stores, Ajanta Jewelers is a true standout and has us as loyal clients for life.

I always enjoy it when the Jewel House brings their goods to the Westin St. John. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and their jewelry is stunning with high quality. I purchased a few island themed pendants that I cherish. They always bring back fond memories of the islands when I wear them. I also love the hand painted ornaments that I bought this year. Each ornament was unique with intricate artistry depicting the beauty of the islands. I highly recommend this family run business!

I go to St. Croix annually and this is my first shopping stop always! Unique, one of a kind jewelry designed and crafted by the owner. I have been complimented on every piece I've bought here and look forward to his new designs. His "knot" jewelry is quite unique-never saw anything anywhere else like it. You can get silver or gold and special order anything you'd like. He has made me charms, bracelets and rings from Chaney, shells and black coral. AND, anything you purchase you can return with and he will clean it! I can't wait until next year when I go to St. Croix again and see what new pieces he has concocted!

Once again, Imperial Dynasty was truly a pleasure to visit. It’s the only jewelry store we visit when in St. Thomas (there are a LOT), and this trip did not disappoint. Vandy, Rita and their staff were wonderful as always: warm, welcoming, great listeners, and gave helpful suggestions but never pushy. The Imperial Dynasty ladies worked together w/out any sense of competition, just genuinely a lovely time shopping for jewelry. Their designs are plentiful and creative, prices manageable regardless of your budget. Cold drinks were a nice treat on a hot day. We look forward to visiting again and no trip to St. Thomas would be complete w/out stopping by Imperial Dynasty to see Vandy & Rita. They treated us like family. Thanks again for the great memories, ladies— we shall return for your warm hospitality, friendliness and beautiful jewelry!

Shakita Pollard helped me and she was amazing!! I was trying on engagement rings and she showed me beautiful rings! When I was trying on a ring, I accidentally left my very special promise ring in the store. She had given me her number, so I texted her, and she helped me by talking to her boss and getting him to hold it for me with my name by it! All in all they were very helpful and kind when I was stressed about my ring.
