waters Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Hi All, My fiancé and I are looking for a good jeweler in Bangkok. We have an old family ring, gold with a ruby that we'd like to have re-made into a smaller band with a ruby and perhaps diamond inset. We know absolutely nothing about jewelry - and only what we've read about gold (Baht value etc) here in Thailand. Any suggestions? The ring means a lot to us - and we're a little nervous about having this done here. Thanks, Waters Edited September 4, 2011 by waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliaminBKK Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The Thai Gem show is next week, perhaps you can take a look at their site http://www.bangkokgemsfair.com/ and see what Jewelers are exhibiting there and what associations they belong to.

boonchu Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 There is a goog jewller, repairs and reconstruction at MBK centre. He is near the entrance to car park on level 3 near tokyu department store. I have used him numerous times and always found the work and price very good.

jeffgood Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Johnny gems in China town always seems to be well recommended in threads such as this. I bought a ring from there after carrying out online research, they were very fair, knowledgeable and honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakseedaa Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 How can a ring mean a lot to you....its a thing.!!! Get a life for Gods sake.. sing sing and show your ring... and I bet you will find out its a spinal...... just because its Red does not mean its sapphire... spinal looks just the same as red corundum...(ruby) And a jewler would not be able to tell unless he is a gemologyst.. Only very recently it was discovered that the Black Princes ruby in the British Queens crown, is in fact a spinal. not worth a ha,pence , but a very nice stone.... Buy your chick a new ring ..

Well - it was given to us by my mother, and it was actually my father's ring - who has since passed away. He would have wanted us to wear it on our wedding day.

Korat88 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 You could try speaking with Scott Davies at American-Thai in the jewelry tower in Silom near the Holiday Inn Hotel. His shop is on the ground floor and if he can't help he may be able to recommend others who could help. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inane comments like the one "How can a ring mean a lot to you" are why Thaivisa is considered by some as the Fools Forum which is a shame because there are many many decent people offering very good advice and help. As me old granny used to say what can you expect from a pig only a grunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
