Very nice, upscale jewelry store near the ferry terminal in STJ. The production shop is next door, and you can watch them work! The only place to buy the unique “bamboo” hook bracelet, a sought after treasure for those who collect the bracelets! Super nice, friendly staff, very knowledgeable about the jewelry! Worth a visit!

Last operating goldsmith studio on the island that makes the famous hook bracelets. A bit pricey but the quality is worth it.

Clean and nice smelling storefront. Jewelry is well laid out and well lit. Customer service was excellent and customer satisfaction is an obvious priority. High end craftsmanship of beautiful pieces. Workshop on site.

I’ve bought many pieces of jewelry at this shop. I love them all. This year I bought a ring that matched my bracelet. I have had so many compliments on all my pieces.

They screwed up the ring for my son. Engraved the outside of it and did not even give us the correct engraving on the outside. Went back in and asked to have it corrected and they charged me $50 for their mistake. Will never purchase from this overpriced store again after 12 plus years of shopping there this is how we are treated. Plenty of other stores in STJ to choose from. Shame on you! Updated.

We've been visiting St. John since 2015 and my wife and I always make a purchase here at Bamboo Studio. The beautiful custom jewelry is made right there next to the store! I had them make my special bracelet and engraving to commemorate my 50th birthday! Their pieces are of the highest quality and are so unique that you will instantly recognize it anywhere in the world and have grounds to strike up a conversation if you see it on someone else. If you know, you know and will recognize their beautiful work!

I am obsessed with the store. I have bought a few pieces one being my St. John's coordinates ring that people always want to discuss and I am happy to share details about. Every year I am back on the island Bamboo Studios polishes it for me and makes sure that it looks brand new! This year a purchased a very special custom piece. It is a necklace with the cut out of the island with a very small diamond located on Cruz Bay. I am extremely excited to receive my one of a kind piece and when I get it I will be sure to upload photos!! Thanks to all the staff and artist at Bamboo for making me a satisfied returning customer!!!

Looked forward to the reopening of travel and headed straight to Bamboo Studios to get a new hook bracelet. Chose the Irma hook, couldn't be happier. The staff was amazing, the bracelet is stunning. They shipped it to me in New York in a timely fashion, perfectly packed, it's stunning.
