I hear that a lady sells hand made garnet jewelry in the Marigot market. Anyone seen it or have any of the pieces?

Huhm, ok, thanks. We go in June. My birthstone is garnet, which I do not generally like, but I thought I might look for some of this jewelry.

Bought a beautiful necklace from them a few years ago - I do not know how to post pictures on this site, otherwise I would.
Gotta Caribbean soul I can barely control and some Texas hidden here in my heart...(J.B.)

OK, thanks. Green garnets? Didn't know they existed.. As I said, in general I do not like garnets, but if they are mined on SXM, that makes them special.

Hi Carol,
The woman selling garnet jewelry was at the market last Wednesday. I personally haven't purchased any pieces, but am tempted to. We may venture to the market tomorrow.

Thanks. So, you think Wednesday is the best day to go? If you do go tomorrow and talk to her, you might ask if she is normally there every Wednesday. Thanks!

It does seem somewhat unusual, that there would be gemstones mined on SXM. For me, it would probably be one of those things that I wouldn't necessarily worry about, one way or another. If I find a piece I like, I wear it and I associate it with SXM because I bought it there.. I have never even looked at garnet jewelry much, because the stones always seemed so uninteresting. Hopefully we'll make time to get to the market this year.

Their website, which someone linked here, definitely SAYS they are mined on the island, near Friar's Bay.
