Does anyone know if the jewerly store in town still carries the blue carribean diamond items?

Also, anyone know if the store haggles on price or is it the sticker price only?

On our last trip my wife saw some items that she really liked there that she couldn't find elsewhere. We are heading back soon and I'm sure she will want to go and visit.

Jeff

There is Littman's and Jewel of Bonaire. I can't see any merchant these days with the economy the way it is letting a paying customer just walk out the door without haggling a little bit. I don't know if they have the blue caribbean diamond items, tho. Rick at Jewel of Bonaire would probably work with you to have some available for when you get there if he does not have some there now. Don't quote me, tho. Rick and his wife are so nice to deal with. I love his work!!

It's been my experience that negotiating can be attempted, but only if you're prepared to pay in cash (credit card fees are around 5%, so insisting on paying with one will not help lower your purchase price).

The jewerly store I'm talking about is right in town (Kralendijk), on the right hand side as you are going north. I don't think it was Littman's, it was a fancy shop (at least about two years ago).

Is Jewel of Bonaire close to Atlantis? After looking at the Atlantis website I can't say that looks familair. The place we went to before had a lot of blue caribean diamonds. I guess we will just have to go look around once we get there.

Atlantis completely remodeled a few times so the pictures are not accurate. Since all 3 jewelers are very close to each other you can easily visit all 3.
