one place to go would be the weekend market. Ive only been a couple of times but saw loads of beads and loads of jewellery stalls.

If you are looking for gem stones look out for a expo as i picked up some at the mall bangkapi last year

Get on the sky train and get off at Mo Chit station and follow the crowds to Chatuchak Market (cant go wrong).

on the left side !

yeah I know horrible directions ,

someone will know where I am talking about ,

I have seen lost wax casting supplys , polishing stuff and lots more

Plus its fun to look around there anyway

if for the real McCoy check out the Gem Traders around Surawongse and consult "Yellow Pages" let the fingers do the walking!

There is a jewellery fair twice yearly in Bangkok for the trade--I believe that it is coming up the end of February 2009. It is one of the largest jewellery fairs in Asia--and once can find all types of supplies and finished jewellery at "true" wholesale prices. The fair is at the Impact Fair Grounds, and if you google Bangkok Gems and Jewellery fair, I am sure that you can get the information you need including a list of suppliers, and you may be able to pre-register.

The exhibition hall is quite large with thousands of suppliers, and took me the good part of a day to walk through it.
