During our early March 2020, one week visit to Cartagena, we had ample opportunity to shop many emerald stores. We found the staff to be honest and up front. They have quite a variety of pieces at various price points. After visiting the store and going to other venues, my wife decided between two rings at Lucy's so we returned. We ended up buying the more expensive piece. Though it was higher than our pre-trip budget, we opted to spend the extra money to find a ring that had a quality stone and beautiful setting. It absolutely checked all the boxes.
Because they dont pay to be on the vacation traveler bus tour circuit, their prices (considering quality) were the best we found. We look forward to returning to get accompanying pieces.

The only place to shop for emeralds in Cartagena. The selection and quality was far superior to any other store we visited. They really took the time to educate us on what to look for when selecting your ideal stone. I purchased a beautiful pair of earrings that I couldn't be happier with. Highly recommend!

I’ve purchased jewelry from Lucy’s on 3 different occasions now and I must say that their reputation as Cartagena’s premium emerald jewelry store is completely accurate! Both Lucy & Alejandra are extremely knowledgeable and professional; they’ll help guide you to select the right gift for any occasion. They source the best stones in the world, design and hand craft all of their jewelry lines as well as provide you with credentials and certifications for every piece. This is the ONLY store in which you should purchase emeralds in Cartagena.

I purchased a ring from Lucy back in December 2017. I decided on Lucy's for emerald shopping in Cartagena after reading positive review, after positive review, after positive review. Upon going to the store, it was obvious why they have such excellent reviews. The store is lovely; Lucy, her family, and staff were kind, but not pushy. They were all very friendly and allowed us to browse in peace. I bought a lovely ring that I wear every single day. Here's the best part....
I had a little issue (not important) come up a few months ago. I live in the USA, so I emailed Lucy Jewelry explaining my concern. Lucy (as in the actual owner) immediately emailed me back offering to replace the item with a brand new one. Shipping items to and from Colombia can be challenging, as you can imagine, and security was our main concern. Lucy actually had someone on her staff meet me in the U.S. to replace the ring. Talk about customer service!!!! The staff member was the same young lady that actually sold me the ring, so it was really great to see her again.
The entire time this was going on, Lucy was communicating with me via email. She gave me her staff members cell number, so we were able to text and meet up very easily. I cannot say enough about how genuinely kind and honest Lucy and her staff are. Do not go anywhere else in Cartagena!!! If you are shopping for Emeralds, Lucy Jewelry is the only place I would go. They have unparalleled service, excellent quality emeralds, and most of all they will stand behind their products. I will be going back for sure!

After visiting several Jewelry stores including the famous "Museo de la Esmeralda" which by the way is NOT A MUSEUM.it is just a store with a misleading name....I visited Lucy by coincidence...and I finally saw all the great Esmeralda jewelry Colombia offers...Lucy pieces are unique..and BEST QUALITY...the best part is Lucy and her workers. Very professional and helpful with providing information. There is no need to bargain.. .. This is the only jewelry in Cartagena that does not pay "finder fees" instead pass the fees to its clients.

I went to this beautiful jewelry by coincidence last year, while dwelling trough road of Cartagena. The store is beautifully designed with modern touch. Lucy (the owner) turned out to be an expert for premium emerald stones. As Germans we werent really familiar with these gorgeous green stones and found Love for them trough Lucys patient narratives giving us some background Information. I Ended up buying a Ring for my wife, who is also Colombian :), and for my mom who Loves me slightly more Since i am back from Cartagena. Go visit Lucy and make some People happy back home :)

Lucy Jewelry had the most high quality emeralds that we saw of all of the shops in Old Town Cartagena. Additionally, you don't see the same foot traffic as they don't pay for commissions. Accordingly, the store is actually much less crowded than the tourist trap other places and you can actually get fantastic customer service since you were likely directly by a very satisfied customer or the reviews here. I am very familiar with emerald ratings and quality and while Lucy Jewelry is not the most cheapest place, we paid a very fair price for very high quality stones and we have no questions on authenticity - I can't stress this point enough. When you are talking about jewelry, a reliable and reputable supplier is key. Additionally, the quality was much better than we saw at Caribe, Mister Emerald, or the other numerous stores in Cartagena. Very satisfied customer and will definitely go back when in Cartagena.

Visiting Colombia, a country famous for its beautiful hand made jewelry and precious and rare world renowned emeralds, you must stop by this place if you're in Cartagena. The shop is beautiful, the attention is first rate and the prices are fair. There's no need to haggle here, it's basically a showcase of the best jewelry and emeralds Colombia has to offer. Just going in to the place to browse is worth it. Highly recommended.

I have visited Cartagena in February 2015. Finding Lucy Jewelry was a kind of coincidentally. Specialist in fine Colombian emeralds and pre-Colombian jewelry. LUCY JEWELRY is the only addressin Cartagena.

Hi Lynn,
I am not 100% sure but if my memory serves me right I think that Lucy Jewelry can make the kind of jewelry that a customer wants.

How far from the cruise port are you located? What is the safest way to get to you if one domes in on a Princess cruise?

We are in Downtown, the easiest way to get here is to ask for a taxi to your Cruise company and tell him to leave you at Santo Domingo Plaza and as soon as you get there, ask for Lucy Jewelry, its two steps from it
PD: Dont tell the cab driver you are coming to Lucy's because as we are a company without tourist guides, we dont raise your price to give them commision, so they wont bring you here
Hope you enjoy and make it here
Best Regards
Lucy
