Be aware of fraudulent and deceptive tactics/merchanside sold by KINGS JEWELERS near the cruise ship landing. Sold us a Tanzanite for $5,500.00 and on returning home had it appraised (twice), turns out to be synthetic sapphire. Guaranteed a 2 grade upgrade on a diamond, again after two appraisals, the stone is 2 grades LOWER. Complaint to the store has produced no satisfaction, claim is that US appraisers are prejudiced against Aruban jewelers because they sell such good quality for a very reasonable price.

NOT this Aruban jeweler.
