Omni Jewelers — Local services in Saint Thomas

Visited the store in St Thomas while on a cruise. Bought a small amount of jewelry - 14 kt diamond stud earrings ($2,000), single 14kt diamond stud earring ($500), men's 14kt Ammolite/diamond ring ($2,000). From 'some' reviews I was worried we had paid too much, or the quality wasn't there... REVIEWS WERE FAR FROM THE TRUTH ... when we got home, took them to have appraised and they were not only great quality, but the appraisal was unbelievable. The pair of earrings were $1,700 more, single earring was $650 more and the men's ring - $6,900 more - YES $6,900 more than what we paid. We weren't pressured to buy there no more than anywhere else does. EVERY business wants to sell you something and they dwell on "spontaneous" buying. People say they are pressured to buy - just say NO and go on - you don't have to buy anything. This business does not advertise with the cruise ship. What is aggravating for me is the places that advertise free stuff with the cruise ship - you waste your time going there, and yes to look and see what they have, and when they see you have the paper from the ship, the first thing out of their mouth is "we're out" and usually...

DONT BUY!!!!! If anyone has any advice on how to resolve this issue it would greatly be appreciated! I cant express how upset I am to have lost our savings on a rip off, I am truly in tears! I tried emailing 2 different addresses about this situation and calling with no response! My husband is a very kind loving man who surprised me with a ring purchased from this company in St. Thomas. I had brought all paperwork and documentation to be appraised by a couple jewelers here in my own town who all had the same thing to say.....We've been scammed! We paid almost $1,700.00 for a ring worth no more than MAYBE $600.00. Every single component of the ring was broken down for my husband and I from the worth of the gold, to the labor cost, and the amount and quality of the diamonds. As you can imagine we were incredibly upset and beside ourselves to find this out. We are good, hard-working people who do not deserve this! All I kindly wanted was to resolve this issue and receive the money back...

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! THEY ARE CROOKS!! We bought a diamond from Omni Jewelers in St. Thomas and when we got home took it to get an appraisal. The paid appraisal was actually valued less than what was paid and several thousand less than their appraisal. The color and clarity are several grades less than what we were told we were buying and their appraisal. We tried contacting them several times with no response. Their website says the quality and value of their merchandise is guaranteed. This is an outright lie! There are over 100 jewelry stores in St. Thomas. Skip over Omni Jewelers and go to the next one to save yourself money,...
