I will be in Aruba the beginning of August and my husband and I would like to buy new wedding bands. Any suggestions on a good place to shop and do you accept the price that is first stated or do you try to bargain a little?

Bargain.....Kays Jewelers, ask for Andy. Or, we've had good luck at Little Europe, also negoitiable.

thanks for the info

The culinary and Culture at Aruba is simply superb..We have enjoyed the culture over there which was just amazing...It has specialised vacation of its own..

I also suggest Kays.....But I do my business with Ash. Absolutely wonderful shop. This is the only jeweler we use when going to Aruba.

Most places bargain...the big "named" ones don't. For the typical stores downtown, I usually pay 35 to 37 percent of what's on the tag. If it's a unique piece, your bargaining position is not as good and you may pay 45 to 50 percent.

Have fun bargaining, be prepared to walk away, show confidence in your offer and you'll get a good price. If you offer $250 on something $1000, you'll have no credibility. If they take out something tagged at $1000 and they say $475 and you reply $350....they'll take you more seriously.
