- Frances Ivey ★★★★★ a month ago Ours is a bit of a crazy story. While on our honeymoon 32 years ago in St Marteen, my husband bought me an emerald ring. It recently was stolen and I was heartbroken. I thought about reaching out to the jeweler where we bought it to see … More if they still had something similar but had no idea how to find them, and figured it was a longshot. Then one day I was going through some papers and found the certificate from the ring which had the address of the jeweler. I googled them and called them. I reached Paul at Shivas, and told him my story. He was on it right away, looking for something that could replace what I had. He sent photos of the rings they had, and lo and behold, there was one very similar! We face timed and talked, and we placed the order. We had the ring within 2days of it shipping out, from St Marteen, to NYS! When I got it, I was not disappointed, it is gorgeous! And a reasonable in price to boot! I have to say, it was such a great experience from start to finish. Paul’s response time and customer service was amazing, not to mention I feel like we gained a friend!
- Jay Klahr ★★★★★ 6 months ago We had a very pleasant experience looking at, and ultimately purchasing a paper clip necklace at Shiva’s. We dealt with Anup, who was very patient, very personable, and very helpful in my wife making a decision. There was no sales pressure, … More no gimmicks, just an honest approach to business. There are probably hundreds of jewelry stores along Front Street, all trying to get your attention, but we highly recommend Shiva’s as a place to go to.
- Stephanie Baxter ★★★★★ 4 months ago Danny was great to work with. Very friendly and professional. Wide variety of jewelry and watches at a great price. Highly recommend seeing him at Shiva if visiting the island!
- Michael Finamore ★★★★★ 4 months ago Danny took the best care of me. Best jeweler on the island and even when I’m off the island I will always use Danny. Jay runs a great store and always takes care of my family!
- Ron D ★★★★★ 6 months ago We just returned from the wonderful Island of St Masrten, which is filled with an amazing amount of jewelry stores. We walked into Shiva’s in Phillipsburg, and found an amazing store, filled with watches rings, bracelets, necklaces, and … More every kind of jewelry you could imagine. The owner, Ajay, helped us directly and showed us everything that was new and exciting. One of the exciting things was the fact that the prices were very reasonable for the high-quality jewelry that they had. I highly recommend a visit to Shiva’s on your visit to the Island. Say hello to Ajay for us :).

Hi, Been trying to contact Jay from Shiva's Gold & Gems for several days however no response to my emails and or messages. 😧Anyone know if Jay is still active in the business? - Margaret Picken ★★★★★ 7 months ago Wonderful selection of high-quality jewellery. Anup was hugely knowledgeable and very helpful. Unlike many jewellery shops there was absolutely no hard sell. We were given lots of space and time to think about our purchase. Next time, we’re … More back on this island, we will certainly pop in again.
- Sriram Narayanan ★★★★★ a year ago We made our first purchase from Shiva's during our vacation in St Maarten and they got a life long customer now. We entered the store just to see things and not ready to buy anything. Anup Sharma attended us and he was willing to show … More us and never pushed us into buying and we left the store without buying anything. We looked at online reviews on Shiva's, got impressed and went back the next day. Bought a pendant and matching ear rings. Anup gave us a good price and he sent the receipt and appraisal a few days later by email. I took the jewelry to famous independent appraiser in Boston and he confirmed the Clarity, Color and Value of the items exactly as mentioned in the appraisal provided by Shiva's. There is a considerable difference between the appraised value and what we paid. We felt we got real value for what we paid. We will visit Shiva's whenever we visit St Maarten or Aruba in future and will order over phone when we are not travelling. I would recommend them to anyone who visits these islands too
- Bob L. ★★★★★ 2 years ago Great products, great prices, and especially a great team! We have been buying fine jewelry and watches from Shiva's St. Martin for over 15 years! While our budget doesn't allow us to visit Shiva's every year 🙂 we have … More purchased many beautiful pieces over the years. Pricing is much better than anything we have seen online or in local stores "back home". The team at Shiva's is excellent and has provided above and beyond service many times. This is our go to place for fine jewelry. Period. Highly recommended!
- David Peck ★★★★★ 2 years ago Shiva jewelers and Anuk took amazing care of us. He took his time and had patience for us to choose the perfect diamond necklace. The prices are great and the store display is organized and presents well.
We would definitely come back … More and buy again. - Pamela Belcher ★★★★★ 2 years ago I’ve been a Shiva’s customer for ten years, and have purchased many beautiful pieces of jewelry in their St Maarten store. The last ring I purchased was designed in the store while I was there. I had an emerald in mind, and the team helped … More me design the setting. Every time I wear it I receive compliments. My whole family loves Shiva’s! There’s no better value for the money!
- EMILY GARRETT ★★★★★ a year ago Anup helped us find a beautiful ring that we both loved! He was kind and very knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend Shiva’s, we will be back for sure!
- Dan Edwards ★★★★★ 9 months ago AMAZING store! Found exactly what we were looking for. No pressure sale! Go here and see these guys, they are the BEST!!
- John Goodman ★★★★★ a year ago We were treated with great care and attention to what we were interested in. My wife found a white gold ring with diamonds and she loves it. Anup was our salesman and he was great. We were there at the end of business on Monday and some … More of the staff waited around until our taxi picked us up.
- Lisa Rado ★★★★★ 2 years ago My family has been shopping with Shiva's Gold and Gems for over 30 years! We bring all of our friends who travel with us as well. The whole team treats you like a part of the Shiva family! From beautiful diamond bracelets, rings … More and earrings to fabulous timepieces - this is the place to shop in SXM. A special shout out to Sunny and Jay for always taking exceptional care of us. Like they say.... if you don't know jewelry, know a good jeweler!
- Anjali Lakhan ★★★★★ a year ago I had the pleasure of dealing with Ricky. If I can give his impeccable service 10 stars, I will. I have never received such caring, kind and attentive from anyone.....ever!!!! I purchased from him from my home country never having gone … More into the store. He sent me numerous pictures to choose from and shipped to me. I got fantastic prices with bonus offers. I purchased from other stores from before and will never return to them as the service was no where close to what I received from Ricky. Ricky has now gained a very loyal customer. He has my business always. Thank you so very much Ricky for such a wonderful purchasing experience. You are a blessed soul.
- Matt Maher ★★★★★ a year ago First visit to Shiva's in St. Maarten was in 2004 on our honeymoon. A friend from back home in Connecticut recommended this place as he has known Jay for a long, long time. They took such good care of us here. Excited that we're … More coming back here during our cruise this summer. Hoping to find a nice ring for my wife, for an early 20 year anniversary. Can't wait to go back! Excellent service and excellent jewelry.
- Natasha Schutze ★★★★★ a year ago We have been coming to Shiva's for years for all our jewelry needs. Their expertise and experience makes us return on every visit to Sint Maarten. They always take their time and patience to work with us. And the price, quality, and … More selection are excellent. Ask for our jewelry expert, Anthony. We have been working with him all these years!
- Joan Lukowiak ★★★★★ a year ago Both Eric in Aruba and Anup in Sint Maarten were very patient and took their time to satisfy my request from their extensive and well priced inventory. Thank you for the birthday certificate, Eric. I have already used it!
- Christine Maturo ★★★★★ 2 years ago Hi , Fell in love with shivas. Went on a vacation, visited the jewelry store and ended up upgrading my wedding ring setting.

They will ship it directly to you. 5 Stars!

We love Shiva’s in Aruba! - John Raineri ★★★★★ 2 years ago I have dealt with Kelly and his staff at Shiva’s for many years. He has always been caring and concerned about me and my family. Never has a merchant meant so much to my wife or I. Everything he has sold us has always been priced right … More and has appreciated unbelievable. There’s no haggling or games everything is the best price on quality jewelry right from the start. Kelly is one of the few people in business today that you can be sure you’ll always be satisfied with. Kelly is a true asset to the island of Aruba.
- Julianna Montano ★★★★★ 2 years ago When you first walk in Shiva’s Gold and Gems you immediately feel like family. You are greeted by many kind people who want to help you find what you need in a fast and easy way. Their jewelry is very good quality, I have two rings from … More Shiva’s that I wear everyday and they do not even have a scratch on them. If you’re looking for jewelry, go to Shiva’s, you will get good quality jewelry for affordable prices with people that treat you like family!

Our family and all our friends have bought all our beautiful jewelry from this family since 1987. They design and market all their amazing pieces with the highest quality of Gems and Gold. They stand 100% behind everything they sell and are still a “family based jeweler”. Every fine piece of jewelry that our family has purchased over the last 32 years has been of the highest quality and design and dealing with their family has been the greatest gift of all. As they make you part of their amazing family, one of which you can trust and honor. Our family and friends would never buy jewelry from anyone but Shiva’s! Their truthful motto is “If you don’t know your Jewelry, know your Jeweler”! read less

My girlfriend was looking for a particular type of ring and found one at Shiva’s. I had been to the store several years ago so felt okay returning. Met with Sunny a sales rep and then Kelly, an owner whose family has been in the jewelry business for many years. So, we agreed on a price and Kelly said, take the ring home. Have it appraised and for any reason I wasn’t satisfied, just return if for full credit. They placed a pre authorization on my cc . Bottom line, had the ring looked at by a jeweler whom I know well in Hollywood, Fl. They thought the ring was stunning and the terms very fair. Going to Shiva’s is a comforting experience and as travelers, they’re going to treat the customer as family bc they thrive on repeat business. read less
