What happened next was part luck, part genius. Ravi &amp; Anita Lalwani, the founders of Kristie\u2019s Jewels took a leap of faith and decided to add a second store at the newly opened Paseo Herencia Mall, which turned out to be a great decision. Ravi noticed that even though tracking <a href=\"https:\/\/smartfootball.com\/\">online sports betting<\/a> odds, catching resort shows, and visiting the local casinos kept many tourists busy, plenty of people still wanted to stroll and shop after dinner. He became one of the first jewelers to capitalize on the new niche of nighttime shopping in the high-rise hotel area. \u201cIt\u2019s true we\u2019ve worked very hard to get here, but luck and blessings from above are also very important ingredients in the mix,\u201d says Ravi. And the result of what this husband and wife team has done with Kristie\u2019s is amazing!<\/p>\n<p>With like-minded partners comes success. Customer service is a focal point for Kristie\u2019s, much like it is for Dune! Kristie\u2019s team members go the extra mile for their customers by providing hotel drop-off, mail-order service and guaranteed after-sales service. They are also keen to recognize and reward customer loyalty. Hard work, integrity, loyalty, and their easy smiles will bring you back again and again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7846\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunes-TTW-Display-at-Kristies-copy-1100x825.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunes-TTW-Display-at-Kristies-copy-1100x825.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunes-TTW-Display-at-Kristies-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunes-TTW-Display-at-Kristies-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunes-TTW-Display-at-Kristies-copy-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunes-TTW-Display-at-Kristies-copy-530x398.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They introduced Dune Jewelry to Aruba just over 2 years ago and the combination of Dune\u2019s and Kristie&#8217;s philosophy have been a winning combination.
