Wow.. That is all I have to day. I usually never buy such a big purchase wtihout lots of research, but my diamond and sapphire ring could be catagorized as more of an impluse buy.. I paid $1700 for it and it appriased for $4500. Raj was so great. Hope to get back soon and find some accessories to match.. more

We have been coming to St. Maarten for 15 years as timeshare owners, and we always stop at DK Gems, even though my jewelry collection by now is quite extensive. The best part about these people is that they will listen to you. They know I am not a jewelry expert, but I know what I like. They are willing... more

The people were very friendly even to our children. I bought a ring there for $900.00 U.S. and it appraised at $2100.00 I would recommend this place as a top pick for jewelry shopping. Do not go to the places the carnival ship recommends as they need to pay a commission to be on the recommendation list. more

Each time I visit St Maarten, my first stop in Phillipsburg is DK Gems. I have purchased several items with precious stones from Raj and his family. The quality of the vast selection of items is outstanding and the service impeccable! I am looking forward to my next trip to St Maarten in January 2009 to once again visit Raj... more

My husband and I recently took a cruise with a stop in St. Maarten. Based on the recommendation of an acquaintance, we went to DK Gems to look for a right hand diamond band. It was to be my 20th anniversary gift. This was a huge purchase for us. In fact, besides my wedding ring, it was to be the... more

After shopping in only 1 other jewelry store in St. Martin we strolled into DK International with the intention of only "looking". Well, let me tell you, they are good at what they do ! Screw people!!We were approched by John, a salesman,and we were quick to point out we did not have much experience buying jewelry. (foolish yes, but... more

I was on my honeymoon last week and had heard that DK's was the place to go. I tried to tell my wife to wait until we had been there to make her choice on her Diamond Stud Earrings. She made her choice at another jewelry store the cruise line had told her about. 5 minutes after we bought them... more

Buying a 1 and a half carat diamond ring at DK Gems ruined our whole trip. The best thing about the deal was that they finally agreed in the end to give us back our money! We picked up the ring once it was time to head back to the ship since the stone had to be set and the... more

4/6/08 We just returned from our third trip to St Maartin and our third buying trip at DK Gems International . As in the reviews for them I have been reading, our experience was so very enjoyable. Our salesman, John, took excellent care of us and gave us wonderful deals-trading in my older tanzanites for much more that I had... more

We have been purchasing jewellery from Raj and his family since 2002. We have been fortunate to visit St Martin 4 times and have purchased jewellery each time. It is quite an experience to shop with a glass of champagne, with a selection that is out of this world, with staff who are truly professional - expert knowledge of their... more
