I will be looking for a 14K gold necklace when we arrive in St. Thomas and was wondering if anyone knew how the item is sold. Is it by weight, grams, etc. Also, where is the best place to bargain for this pricewise. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you
Larry

Depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a big purchase then try places like Cardow's. If you are buying a small one then almost any place will do. Almost all of the big items have as a base the gold weight. Then comes the design.

Just walk down main street and there are tons of stores.

But beware if you are buying a good one. Know what you are looking for.

Hello Larry,

There are dozens and dozens of jewelry stores in downtown Charlotte Amalie. Best bet is to have an idea of what you are looking for and then visit several stores and compare. Some places will bargain so keep that in mind.
