I believe there's a Jewels by Love on Front Street in Philipsburg, as well.

 

They carry Oris.

p.s. not aware of a website.

I am not aware of another genuine "Jewels by Love" store in St. Martin. I recommend starting with their store in Marigot just to be sure.

Hi me and my future wife are wondering if there are any shops good for watch lovers as we are going to buy one for each other as wedding presents, also any websites to go with the shops?

 

(I have checked out touch of gold and shiva's already)

 

thanks

If you are considering fine watches, visit Love Jewelers in Marigot. Nice selection, knowledgeable staff. The owner, Love, is an avid Patek collector and we have been watching our collections grow for the past several years. He also has fine jewelry and great diamonds. Of course, know your prices and you will do well.

All St. Maarten regulars will have their favorite, but your best advice for any port would be to be well educated in the jewelry (prices and quality indicators) that you are intending to purchase, and then visit several shops to compare offerings and prices.

 

Check out my posting in this prior thread on the board.

This is the best advice anyone can give you. The sort of jewelry available in St. Martin should be viewed as nothing more than a commodity and valued the exact same way. You should pay roughly the same price for the same quality diamond anywhere you shop. The same for Tanzanite. Thus, you must know what you're buying. If you end up over-paying, that's your fault.
