Buying gemstones & jewellery in Bangkok?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello Contributors.

 

 

 

Hoping for some advise around buying gemstone jewellery in Bangkok.

The missus was interested in simple white gold ring with a blue gemstone.

 

I've been hearing of horror stories when it comes to this industry.

Some have suggested Chinatown for gold and jewellery.

 

Any tips on where to shop to avoid being scammed?

Also, how would I assess a real gemstone vs a substitute?

 

cheers

The Big Chinatown Goldshops are cool.

 

You can get GIA or equivalent stones in the Jewelery center in Silom. Use the net for carat costs
