I purchased a mans ring in the DI store in Phillipsburg on the main street. When I got home to have the ring sized I found out it had an inscription and names inside. My store valued it at half of what I paid for it. At no time did the clerk tell me is was a "used" or estate... More

We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise with a stop at St. Maarten. We were shopping for a little bling for my wife and stopped in at Diamonds International while at port. They must have seen "sucker" written on my face because they immediately invited us upstairs to their VIP lounge where they offered (and we accepted) several wonderful mixed... More

We were recently in Philipsburg port via a Disney Cruise. We were told all the shopping advice listed in the Trip Advisor shopping article on Philipsburg by the Disney shopping expert. We asked lots of questions, and were assured we were getting the best price at Diamonds International of anyhwere else possible. The shopping expert even offered to meet us... More

Attended DI on a whim in St Maarten and found the staff to be great. Looked at various rings and after visiting other shops returned and eventuially bartered a deal. Upon returning to the UK found the ring to be valued at £1750 more than we paid for it and found to be of exceptional quality. Guess if you know... More

My fiancee got my ring at the location in St. Marteen. Nine months down the road one of the baguettes on the setting starts shifting and moving. I took it to a few jewelers and they did not want to repair it because they all agreed that the issue was not simply a loose diamond but the poor workmanship of... More

On July 3, 2011, I purchased a pair of diamond stud earrings from your store in Juneau, AK under unprecedented circumstances for me. Once removed from the situation and able to process the information and experience that occurred, I realized I had been scammed, harassed, pressured, and brainwashed. On board the Rhapsody of the Seas, Royal Caribbean cruise ship, I... More

D.I. in St Maarten is a "recommended" place to shop when you cruise on Royal Caribbean. Personally I think the place is a rip-off. Was there on 9/30/10 and wanted to see the Romain Jerome "Titanic" watch. We were taken upstairs for some beverages and "sweet sales talk" while we looked at the watches. It was late in the day...

I only wish I could rate zero instead of one. We bought here on a whim. The sales person "Vijay" told us we would be able to return our diamond stud earrings "no problem" after running them by our local jeweler. Four jewelers later they all agree: one of the the pair is virtually worthless due to a chip and... More

Was recently in St. Maarten with my fiancée whom I shopped with to pick out an engagement ring. We came to the island with the intention of buying jewelry so had already had experience shopping around in Canada. From the moment we walked in we were greeted graciously by the manager Raj. He provided very professional and courteous service asking... More
