What a relief to find a relaxed atmosphere while shopping in a tourist town, well the jewelry cateres to a local clientel. The plaza is gorgeous with exceptional contemporary Dominican artists. But back to the jewelry, they have a huge selection of mostly gold jewelry, some silver and local larimar. Service is spot on and not at all pushy, and great prices. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your kind review. Glad you enjoyed the art exhibition as part of the experience. Yes most of our business is with locals and a fair amount of visitors who do their homework before wondering into some of the tourist traps. We hope that when you are in the area that you will drop in again and say hello.

Years ago someone pointed us in this stores direction. What a great discovery!!!! For lack of better terms it’s a pawn shop. I go for the wide selection of jewellery and the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. Thelma has always taken care of us, maybe we just happen to be there while she’s in store.
The staff is knowledgeable and willing to go that little bit extra. They are so patient while browsing. Everyone is so willing to help.
If you’re looking for something to fill a bit of a down day, head into Puerto Plata to the store. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. I know I never am.

A few friends and I took a trip to Puerto Plata last Christmas and we stopped by. Dorca and the rest of the staff were very polite and patient we us. I am very picky when it comes to jewelry and was able to find exactly what i was looking for. I am definitely coming back on my next trip to try some more of that delicious coffee!

Thanks you and yes I agree, we do have wonderful people working with us. We try to keep the coffee always fresh and well maybe a bit sweet, Dominican style. We trust you will enjoy your jewelry for a lifetime. Please make an effort to drop by next time even if just for a coffee, Dorca will be waiting.

The truth is that I really value the good treatment provided by the staff, the exclusivity of its pieces and that it is located in an easily accessible place. As for prices, no one can match it. Truly the best jewelry store in Puerto Plata.

First of all we thank you for your patronage. We have reviewed the invoices, signed credit card vouchers, security video, your ID, and spoken with individuals present including your companion. The facts are you purchased a silver chain for yourself and put your own silver tennis shoe medallion on it and then made a second purchased of a gold necklace for your companion on April 8th, you both wore the jewelry out of the store. On April 9th you both returned, she shopped while you sat on the blue bench by the front entrance, she came over on her knee and spoke to you. You then accompanied her to the counter, she demonstrated the gold bracelet and ring she had selected, you then presented your credit card and signed the voucher which clearly stated the sales price in $US, as they all do. She was wearing the gold necklace from the previous day, and then you departed together wearing all four pieces of jewelry. Since your purchases, we have obtained written proof that your companion has or had possession of the gold necklace, bracelet, and ring that you purchased for her on the 8th and 9th. Additionally, your companion, who claims she has known you for 17 years, verified she received the three items of gold jewelry you purchased for her and claimed you were upset with her for some other reason. Obviously and regrettably the misunderstanding lies between you and your companion, that specific information we are not privy to. We have communicated with you and offered to assist; however, you declined to speak with us. If you wish to return any or all the items, as is our policy, we would refund you completely. The normal recourse is to file a claim with your credit card company, if you should wish to do that please do, as we are more than happy to comply and provide them with ample evidence of the purchases, then any fraud may be revealed. Best regards

WOW is all I can say about this place. A friend recommended us to this shop after purchasing a watch from this jeweler several months ago. We were pleasantly surprised with the array of merchandise avaliable. The store has a large assortment of silver, gold, gem stones jewelry and watches. The items avaliable are for any/all price range. We brought some beautiful gold jewelry for alittle over melt value my wife had to pull me out the store because I can't pass up good deals. Robert the owner is very knowledgeable and informative not only of the jewelry but Dominican culture as well. We'll be back on our next visit we highly recommend this jewelry shop.

Calling this 5th Ave looking jewelry store is not what I ever thought a Pawn Store would look like. Joel treated me with such attention and patience, their pricing was all by weight and karat. I suspect virtually all their business is with locals, it was such a nice lace to stop use the bathrooms and have a free cup of Dominican coffee.

Thank you for taking the time to review us on your recent visit. Your comment is humorous in that the first day we moved into this facility an elderly Dominican man walk in the front door, looked around and said "this is what New York must look like". Yes most of our customers are Dominicans but we have a following of North Americans and Europeans who have been frequenting our store for more than 20 years. We trust you will return one day as well.

I am interested in unique silver and larimar pieces.I am looking for a new ring and ankle bracelet. Has anyone shopped recently, and have seen unique designs. Looks like a great spot to shop. Thanks for any feedback.
Written October 20, 2019
Thanks for asking, we certainly have a lot more gold than silver. However, we do have some unique pieces. We are centrally located please drop in have a coffee and browse. No high pressure sales people or tourist prices.

Is this a fixed price shop or can we do a deal
Written September 27, 2017
Sorry, was out of the country. The gold is sold by the gram and karat based on world market prices. Diamonds are generally more negotiable. We cater more to the local market and are the leaders as we don't have "tourist prices". Thanks for asking, always compare.
