April 23, 200916 yr Any up-to-date recommendations for places doing miscellaneous small repairs on gold jewelry -- central Bangkok, within reach of public transport? Things like enlarging rings, repairing settings for loose gemstones etc. My wife has a backlog of small repairs needed.
April 23, 200916 yr go to china town,many gold shops there on the main road,i am sure they can fix for you
April 23, 200916 yr Author That's a good idea, thanks. I know the area. Will check it out. I've also been told of a repair shop called "Jewelry Clinic" which has outlets in MBK 3rd floor and Siam Paragon basement. I'll put a note here next week of how things work out.
April 23, 200916 yr I might check that out too. My FIL gave me a lovely gold necklace when I got married and after 20 years of constant wear, its starting to break a little.
April 23, 200916 yr I know a very good guy. He has a factory in Banglampoo, showroom in MBK. Anyone, feel free to PM me for his mobile. He speaks good English.
April 27, 200916 yr Author Thanks again for the suggestions. We first tried the easiest option, which was the 'Jewelry Clinic' in the basement of Siam Paragon (ask at the info desk if you cannot find it), who have a small workshop behind their counter with a couple of craftsmen and they were able to do everything we wanted at reasonable cost: enlarge 2 gold rings to a new size (requiring additional gold), refix a detached gemstone on another gold ring, resolder some broken silver cufflinks. The service was good and the jobs were done within a couple of hours. Maybe for something more complex or needing artistic skill, I might go to one of the other suggested options, but for straightforward things this place is fine.
