LindaCt Posted March 2, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Do people haggle (bargain) in the jewelry stores on St. Thomas? Are beach cover-ups acceptable attire for the shopping areas? from Emerald Beach-if we are looking for the shopping area, do we just tell driver: downtown? Is there shopping by the Crowne Pier?

mumsiesof2 Posted March 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2010 In my past experience it depends on the store-you have nothing to loose by asking them "Is this the best price you can offer". And as far as the dress code just use your best judgement & look in the mirror-a coverup can be tasteful-right ? But as a adult think like one & have fun.

mandysmom2 Posted March 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have found that most jewelry stores will bargain with you to a point. I agree- ask if it's their "best price." We have always went shopping after our trips to the beach and wear cover-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinDon Posted March 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2010 You definitely should do your shopping in the "downtown" area of Charlotte Amalie. Great atmosphere, a feel for the real St. Thomas, not the Americanized feel near the piers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjscott Posted March 3, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2010 There are some stores at Crown Bay, but not a great many. However, if you are in port on a Sunday, the stores in Charlotte Amalie close at 1PM. The stores at Crown Bay will stay open until the ships depart. http://www.viport.com/cbc/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocksNoSalt Posted March 4, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I highly recommend Grand Jewelers. You can definitely bargain with them. I find them to be very fair and their jewelry is gorgeous! I have been dealing with them for years. I have some gorgeous things from there. Ask for Jacky (owner)....tell him I sent you....RocksNoSalt I plan on going back again this May.... Have fun!

All jewelry stores bargain. Rule of thumb in bargaining is whatever they say offer half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
