Just returned from a vacation to St. Maarten.
I have been to many Caribbean Islands in the past but I must say that the shopping district on Front Street is the longest jewelry/diamond district I have seen. They have all the luxo watch brands from Rolex to Patek and tons of diamond stores. I went into a few and by PS standards we would all walk out. Each day we were there, at least 5 large cruise ships were in port, that translates to over 15,000 new people each day during the holidays.
However, I did go into 2 diamond stores that had Hearts on Fire diamonds. They were really beautiful. I held a 3 carat round I/VS1 in my hand and I really needed sunglasses to view this little baby. It was the most sparkly diamond I have ever held, the asking price tag was over $100K, wow! But it was fun to really examine it.
