My wife and I just returned from a bead making class with Marian. This is a very interesting 3hr hands on class on make glass beads using a torch. If you’re looking for something different to do you must try this class. It really looks easier than it is using glass rods to make round beads. Marian is an incredibly patient teacher and really makes this class fun. The beads cool down and you can make many items to take home with you. Give them an email and reserve your spot. Classes are Monday and Thursday from 10am-1pm.

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’!

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.
