Aruba’s turquoise waters and gentle breezes have long attracted travelers seeking more than sun and sand. The idea of selecting a diamond beneath Caribbean skies is undeniably alluring. Aruba, with its world-renowned beaches and vibrant luxury scene, has quietly become a destination for travelers who wonder: Are diamonds truly less expensive here — and why?
At Jewels in Paradise, we believe you deserve an honest answer — and an experience as luminous as the pieces you choose.
Is Jewelry Actually Less Expensive in Aruba?
The short answer: yes, often — and here’s why.
Key advantages for diamond buyers:
- No Sales Tax — Unlike many U.S. states, Aruba’s jewelry purchases are tax-free.
- Lower Import Duties — Many diamonds are sourced directly from trusted international cutting centers like Antwerp, minimizing fees.
- Duty-Free Designer Pieces — Shoppers enjoy exclusive pricing on world-renowned names like Roberto Coin, Rolex, Jacob & Co., and Pasquale Bruni.
These factors combine to make Aruba a rare destination for luxury jewelry at truly competitive value.
