March 27, 2022 Joeann Galban

If you love the beach, but also want a little culture, you'll love Christiansted, one of St. Croix's two waterfront towns. Historic churches, charming courtyards, shaded walkways, stone arches, antique lampposts and rows of restored townhouses add to the city's appeal. Relax on a tranquil, white sand beach or float in the aquamarine water. Enjoy the many shops, boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants, or visit attractions like Fort Christianvaern, the Customs House and the Old Scale House.

He first started tying sailing knots in precious metals as a hobby in the 1970's, selling his first jewelry pieces from a handmade mahogany box he carried with him to display and share his budding passion.Now, Nathan and Therese can be found in Crucian Gold on Strand street creating new designs inspired by the history, people, and natural environment of St. Croix. All of the materials they work with come from recycled and eco-friendly sources. FEEL THE LOVE!!

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!

Prince was awesome! He has so much knowledge about the islands. He was prompt on picking up the phones and returning calls. He picked us up and took us around the island (St.Croix). The journey was super fun. He made sure we were engaged all the time with this sense of humor and little surprises. He made sure we covered all the places on the island. Would definitely recommend him to others!! P.S: Beer drinking pigs are the best part of the trip!
