some folks swear the product and the price in aruba is far superior than what they could get at home (wherever home may be).

i know there are plenty of reputible and terrific jewelers on island.
i think that there are some "unique" items that may not be able to be bought in the usa.

that being said, my opinion is that one can do as well at any jewelry center in NYC, BOS, ATL, MIA or LA. (to name a few)

i have never bought any real expensive items in aruba.
i have bought Lladro, waterford, earrings and a couple of fossil watches........
no huge $$ items. (all at little switzerland in downtown o'stad)

i have seen better prices for diamonds, emeralds, rolex in st maarten.

Anyone have any input???
