On my usual local crystal hunt - they certainly have the larimar here. Here way my experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Welcome to Old San Juan - parking gets competitive so make sure you plan ahead of time. Vibes: Very classic Old San Juan jewelry shop feel. Not overly flashy, but everything is presented in a way that lets the pieces speak for themselves. PRODUCTS Larimar Gem (Recommend) They got your usual gems from diamonds to gemstones then they got great choices from a necklace, earring to rings! Everything feels high quality but still approachable. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They did their usually upselling but it wasn't too bad. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Great selections, knowledgable, and honest prices. This is a solid jewelry stop in Old San Juan. Great mix of quality pieces, welcoming service, and a relaxed browsing experience. Not overwhelming, not pushy--just a good place to explore if something catches your eye. TIPS: * Good stop if you're looking for a meaningful souvenir or gift read more

My husband and I were on our 10th anniversary trip and happened to wandered into the store for souvenirs and so glad we did. In a very touristy area, a lot of shops don't take an interest in the person, but just try to sell you anything and everything they could especially the expensive items. This shop was different. Yes they were trying to sell stuff, but they were very personable and actually cared to hear what we had to say. Fabiola was AMAZING! She made me feel right at home and really listened when I said I was looking for something about $100. She did not make me feel less than or pushy to spend more. She was very delightful to talk to and told me some amazing Puerto Rican history. She definitely went way above and beyond! She even took me to attached shop when I still couldn't find what I was looking for and then introduced me to Amauri (aka Chuck Norris). This attached shop had more of the things that I was interested in buying. The two of them helped us find exactly what I was looking for. A big thank you to both! And if we are ever back in Puerto Rico, I will definitely stop by the shop just to say hi to Fabiola. She really made me feel welcomed that much! In fact, I can say that my days in Puerto Rico would not have been the same had I not met her kindness! read more

The employees of the store are very friendly and non assuming. They don't Heckle or harass you like employees of other stores in Caribbean ports. We were able to find a slightly rare cut and size for tanzanite earrings. The prices for their merchandise were quite competitive and the quality was lovely. We shopped around many other stores in the area and we ended up right back at exotic gems for the first earrings we saw. Check them out, there is a lot to see. read more

On one of our many many trips to Puerto Rico especially Old San Juan. We stop at this place called Exotic Gems and yes we never leave empty handed. My wife always seems to find another piece of jewelry missing from her collection. Oh and I must admit, I too find something for myself. VINCE and his staff are amazing and wonderful to us not just because we buy something but just because they are great people and easy to deal with. We have been to this shop so many times that even Vince's dog Yossie knows me. Keep up the great friendly service. read more

Felix fixed a family antique wedding ring that was severely broken. The jeweler did an amazing job at repairing the ring. It looks like new, with no sign of breakage. Felix was friendly, repaired the ring at an affordable price, and was able to complete the work quickly (overnight). Plus he cleaned the ring too. I highly recommend read more

My wife and I have bought several jewelry items at Exotic Gems, both while traveling as well as through the mail. Well I bought numerous pieces for my wife and several others for friends and family. Everyone is delighted with the quality of the jewelry' and the personal effort that the owners, Vince and Helma, put into selecting the best pieces for us. The owners are extremely professional, personable, knowledgeable and sensitive to what kinds of pieces are best suited to your budget and tastes. Further, they fully stand behind their products. And a particularly pointed bonus is to be treated as a friend or family, rather than merely a customer. read more

Exotic Gems is the jewelry store to visit while in San Juan! Beautiful pieces at reaaonable prices. The best in customer service. Stopped while in town on a cruise. Purchased esrrings and rings. The 3rd time I wore the earrings, they broke. When I returned home, I contacted Vince to see what I needed to do to return the earrings to be repaired or replaced. Vince responded very quickly to my email with instructions. Within a week of returning the earrings I had the received the replacements. Customer service is extremely important to the staff and they ho sbove and beyond what would be expected. Definitely recommend stopping in to see Vince and the staff of Exotic Gems when in San Juan.
