Caravan Gallery in Mongoose Junction has the St. John bracelet. Others will carry the St. Croix version. My husband and I both have them and love them. Happy shopping!

Easy.....Palm Jewelers. The girl there makes custom bracelets to fit every wrist. She even made my 4 year old one.

I will get mine from Freebird when I go back. The guy there was super nice, and isn't he the one with the cute doggie?

For me, the only place is Coral Bay Jewelers in Cruz Bay - next to JJ's on the corner.

They have the "traditional" hook bracelets and then he has them with a different design for every bay on STJ, ie: one for Maho, one for Trunk, one for Cinnamon etc so if you have "your" special beach/bay it is perfect :)

Hubby bought me one from there as a congratulation present for becoming a US Citizen and they engraved my name into the wrist band :D

You can choose any size wrist band, any thickness, any size "logo" any combination of gold (white and yellow etc) and the options keep going. They are more expensive than other places (I think anyway) but the quality is great. My friend purchased one from Caravan (sorry Caravan) and it tarnished 3 weeks after returning to kansas City from his vacation :(

Check out their website, and happy shopping :)

Oh Pia, I couldn't agree more but I thought they were looking for the traditional hook and the girl at Palm makes an awesome traditional bracelet at a better price then Coral Bay Jewelers. I have several of hers and wear them every day for years with no tarnishing, etc.

I actually have the Maho Hook from Coral Bay Jewelers and I love it. It is gold and more fancy so I wear it for special occasions.

We brought another couple with us to STJ a few years back and they ended up getting married on STJ. As a wedding gift, her "new" husband bought her the Honeymoon Hook since that is the beach they got married on. What a terrific gift!!

Hey Bug

Coral Bay does make the "traditional" hook as well, but I do agree, Palm does sell a nice traditional hook as well :) Don't forget Palm now only have one store and that is the one in Wharfside Village - the one in Mongoose closed down.

We like the ones from Freebird. They have a little notch on the hook that keeps it from coming undone.

Another recommendation for Coral Bay Jewelers. I love mine and I wear it every day. It is durable but still looks like a piece of fine jewelry.

I 2nd Caravan gallery . They are awesome and the people so friendly. I find theirs to be different than others. Mine almost looks carved instead of smooth . Have fun
