- Aron KLauderhill, Florida2 contributionsAmazing selection of jewelry best store in ArubaOur involvement with Kristies in Aruba was absolutely fabulous. From the second we ventured into the store, we were welcomed in and was offered with some cold water to drink & cool off as it was a very hot day in Aruba. The determination of adornments at Kristies is basically amazing. Each piece of jewelry appeared to recount its own story. The jewelry on display was evidently a labor of love. What made our visit genuinely momentous was the outstanding help given by the staff especially Roy & Kash. In addition to being knowledgeable about their products, they took the time to learn about our preferences and requirements. I felt like an esteemed client, and they exceeded our expectations to help us in tracking down the ideal piece. They paid attention to our thoughts, offered significant bits of knowledge, and guaranteed that we went with a decision we would treasure for a lifetime. We left the store with a piece of jewelry. Dina & I might want to stretch out my earnest appreciation to Kristies for giving such a significant encounter. Visit Kristies Jewels if you're in Aruba and looking for a stunning piece of jewelry and exceptional service.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 September 2023
- Sheryl H1 contributionGreat customer service!I travel to Aruba every year, and always shop at Kristie's for jewelry. Manny Chandwani has been my jeweler there for the past several years. He's very knowledgeable about gems and jewelry, and always negotiates great prices for me! It's amazing what this shop can provide. If you have a vision, they can make it happen!Visited February 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 17 September 2023
- Amanda L1 contribution“BEST JEWELRY STORE EVER”First I was greeted by three very charming gentlemen, that showed me every piece of Jewelry I asked about without pressure ! I ended up buying a few pieces there and then ordered another two bracelets when I returned home to the states! Kristie’s has an awesome selection and really great prices ! I plan on visiting them again when I return to Aruba !!!Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 18 September 2023
- Donna S1 contributionThe best jewelerI first visited Kristie's 8 years ago and have been back every year since. They have the most beautiful jewels and prices I have found on the Island. I always deal with Manny who has become a dear friend. He always gives me the best service and price and if I ever have a concern, he addresses it immediately. I can't wait to be back again in November to visit my favorite jeweler!!Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 18 September 2023
- Kathleen VAugusta, Maine23 contributionsMost fun jewelry looking and shoppingWe "ran" into Kristie's Jewels in 2012, and except for not travelling in 2020-2021, we have been in to visit or shop 1-2 times a year since. We love all the staff who have become part of our Aruba family with their kind approaches, their care and patience in getting to know our interests and having pieces selected to show us, and their no pressure to buy attitude. It makes dropping in fabulous and fun. Their prices are remarkably affordable when you bundle your pieces. Just look what pieces we picked out, and these are just what I got. I'll post hubby David's pieces next!! Stop in and enjoy all the sparkle of the bling, especially at night with the lights on. Ask for Roy, Cindy, Manny, Roger, or any of the highly experienced jewelry associates. You can't beat'em!!!!Visited December 2022Travelled soloWritten 5 November 2023
- smiles1244 contributionsBest Jeweler in ArubaThis is the best jeweler in Aruba! I have been vacationing in Aruba for 20 plus years. I am so grateful that approximately 5 years ago I was introduced to Roy at Kristies. Since then I have had Roy recreate a beautiful ring and ship it to me in the US. I have also contacted Toy while Iin the US to send me some pieces wguch I had seen at Kristies while on vacation. I have purchased many one of. A kind spectacular pieces and fairly priced. Kristies stands behind their product and it is guaranteed! Roy and the staff at Kristies are not only extremely friendly and trustworthy but also outstanding in their craftsmanship! They are my jeweler all year round and not just when Im visiting Aruba. I always but a special piece on every visit to Kristiez. Thank you Roy and team for always being accommodating, helpful and mostly for your caring and friendship! See you soon!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 November 2023
- Diane BSalem, Massachusetts1 contributionGreat Experience!!This was my 2nd purchase from Kristie's Jewels. My first experience was so so positive I knew I would return to them when I wanted another piece of jewelry. I was on a cruise ship and I only had 1 day in Aruba. I wanted a tanzanite ring and I found a beautiful one at Kristie's. Unfortunately, it needed to be sized. That was no problem! They were able to size my ring in a few hours and I was able to pick it up before getting back on the boat. They will go out of their way to find you exactly what you want at the price point you can afford. The customer service was outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality piece of jewelry.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 16 November 2023
- DetroitKickinDetroit, Michigan1 contributionDazzling jewelry pieces with honest and zero pressure salesWe thoroughly enjoyed this jewelry store. Just wanted to browse and no intentions of purchase. We were welcomed and not pressured to buy anything. Roy let us try a variety of jewelry, again no pressure to purchase. I fell in love with the diamond bangle bracelet and bought it. Roy has stayed in touch with me to confirm my satisfaction. I recommend this store for friendly and honest advice.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 November 2023
- NikkiNikki3023 contributionsThe ONLY Place for Jewelry!!If I could rate this business more than 5/5, I would. The owner Ravi and his team of excellent jewelers, are not only the nicest people you’ll meet, but also the most knowledgeable. The selection of one of kind pieces are beyond anything I’ve seen, and everything is top quality. The best part about them is how willing they are to help customers upgrade pieces over time, while always giving them the value they initially paid. Every person at Kristie’s takes their time with each customer and will work on giving the best deals possible on top of line jewelry. I own several pieces from them, and will never buy anything from any other business. From cute silver pieces to incredible diamonds, you’ll be in the best hands with Kristie’s! I cannot wait to go back!Visited August 2023Travelled on businessWritten 11 December 2023
- sabbycatNew York City, New York7 contributionsBest jewelers ever ❤️My favorite jewelers I always have to stop by Kristies and buy myself some thing when in Aruba! I want to bring my boyfriend to Aruba so he could buy me a ring here haha. Seriously they treat you like VIP here. This is the only jeweler I go to.

This store is run by super rude and arrogant men who are condescending and literally laughed in our faces when we were trying to ask a question. I would never in a million years give anyone with this arrogant attitude my hard earned money. The owner is so rude and usually I don’t write awful reviews. But spending money on jewelry is a luxury and as such being treated in a kind manner is paramount. He isn’t saving lives or anything—-good thing for that, otherwise he likely would have walked away from you mid heart attack and started laughing at you...I hope you read this and start behaving nicer as a human being...

Hi thegirlcdn,
Good afternoon.
We are extremely sorry for the experience you had at our business. I am Roy who is responsible of the floor and the sales reps and their behavior on the floor. We need your help to identify which rep on the floor did this. We are in the fine Jewelry business. Every rep should know how to take care of any customers who visit the business. Nobody would appreciate this behavior. It is not acceptable anywhere. Personally I wouldn't like to be treated like this too in any business. Please let us know the best way to get in touch with you as soon as possible. Waiting to hear from you.
Best Regards,
Roy.

We’ve been purchasing my jewelry with Kristie’s Jewelry for the past 15+ years. Every year we go to Kristie’s, I buy something beautiful! The quality and expertise is incredible! They definitely have the best selection, prices, quality and workmanship than any other jewelry store in Aruba. Kash has always been like family greeting us when we come and making us feel very welcome. I highly recommend KRISTIE’S JEWELRY! Go and see their selection and great prices!!

We purchased two pairs of Marahlago earrings. We worked with both Roy and Shaz, who were very friendly and professional. The selection of Marahlago was excellent and Shaz was very patient as I looked over most of the earring inventory. The store was crowded when I first got there, but the staff was friendly with everyone. I enjoyed this store and working with these lovely people.

My first trip to Aruba and I wanted to buy a memento that would remind me of this spectacular Island. I came across Kristie's Jewels, a husband/wife team who are passionate about their work. Roy Ariana is a gemologist and worked with me to select a magnificent pair of Morganite and diamond drop earrings. I was very pleased with is fair pricing and honesty. I am planning to wear them everyday and in doing so, it will remind me of the beautiful stay at Aruba and it's kind, happy people.

Roy was a pleasure to work with. My in-laws have been customers for several years now. On a recent vacation, my wife and I went to the store with them. Roy assisted my father-in law first and my wife and I were looking for a momento as it was our first trip to Aruba with our 18 month old daughter. Roy showed us some various options and ultimately we settled on a diamond piece with 3 starfish. It was perfect and felt we received a great value for the piece. Highly recommend Roy!

Dear K1226ONjamesk,
Thank you very much for your generous words and for entrusting me with such a special moment during your vacation in Aruba. It's truly heartwarming to hear that the diamond piece with the three starfish resonated with you as the perfect memento of your first trip with your 18-month-old daughter. Creating meaningful memories like these is what makes my work so rewarding.
I'm grateful for your recommendation and thrilled to hear that you felt you received great value from your purchase. It was a pleasure assisting your father-in-law and then helping you and your wife find the perfect piece.
If you ever find yourselves back in Aruba or have any future jewelry needs, please don't hesitate to visit the store again. I'd be more than happy to assist you.
Warm regards,
Roy

We had visited their store in Aruba during an earlier vacation and bought a bracelet and a ring. The bracelet unexpectedly broke recently while my wife was wearing it. We reached out to Kristie's to see what could be done.
Their customer service absolutely blew us away and earned them future customers. They were totally understanding, accepting, and helpful through our repair process. They constantly checked in to see if we needed anything, going so far as to send us shipping labels. *Then*, once they received the broken bracelet, they had a new one overnighted to us!
Total resolution time from start to finish on our complaint was under a week. To be honest I didn't expect much to be done about it, let alone this kind of service!
Thank you Kristie's for a happy wife!

I would like to say thank you to the amazing staff that works at kristie’s jewels. They couldn’t be more welcoming when you enter there beautiful Establishment. My wife and I had the pleasure to work with Manny. His level of professionalism and knowledge in this business is everything you want when buying any type of jewelry. Never once did my wife and I feel like we were being pressured into buying a item. Manny was able to help us find exactly what we came for. Thank you Kristie’s for the amazing experience, we can’t wait to come back to your establishment.
