Fodor's Expert Review Sonya Ltd.

This boutique was founded by Crucian designer Sonya Hough, who invented the popular hook bracelet (wear the hook facing out if you're "available," inward if you're attached). Bracelets are priced from about $65 and up, depending on size and materials. In addition to the original silver and gold hooks in a variety of diameters, the shop sells variations that incorporate hurricane symbols, dolphins, hibiscus flowers, and infinity symbols. If you're going to splurge on one nice souvenir in St. Croix, make it a hook bracelet and you'll be recognized as an honorary Crucian whenever you wear it.
