Information About Surin Jewellers, Craftsmen

[cnxpat]

Not sure if this should go into the business forum, but since this is where the Surin ppl seem to gather :-) I guess a moderator will correct me if so, but I'll make the inquiry here first.

I am looking for contacts with jewellery makers in Surin. I heard there were a lot of them is that correct? I used to design and make rings etc. In Chiang Mai, now would like to find someone that can do casting and designing of either custom made items, or using the molds I have.

Experiences and suggestions are very welcome,

thanks in advance

There are some silver jewelry/silversmith places just outside Surin I know of that could do this. Don't know about gold. Also, there is a village a ways from Surin that calls itself the Red Sapphire Village (rubies actually) that may interest you. Lots of places doing semi-precious stone jewelry I've seen as well.

I went on a holiday many years ago to Surin to see the Elephant Roundup. I remember there was a sign to a Silver Village there. I was on a tour, so we never had the opportunity to visit the village. Maybe someone else knows a better location, otherwise you could be driving around for days.

I can show the OP around to these silver villages if he gets down here. I bring friends to the smithy house/shop to buy silver jewelry and products when they are up here on a visit. Nice place. I have the info handy somewhere that I can give to him as well. I know where the ruby village is, but have yet to visit it. See it on the way to the waterfalls all the time and pass right by it. They also have shops that manufacutre the semi-precious stone jewelry right nearby that he might be interested in visiting. Lots of rings, earrings, necklaces, etc. Some nice stuff and inexpensive if you can bargain politely.

Thanks a lot,

Cent, I will let you know before when I plan to go to Surin, it's only 45 mins. from where I live. I will send you a PM, it will probably be end of this week, and obviously when it suits you!

cnxpat,

No problem. We can meet up at the Farang Connection in Surin (right by the Bus Terminal and easy enough to find) for lunch, or breakfast even, any day except Sundays (I'm up to the village house on most Sundays/Sat nights). The silver smithy place closes around 4 p.m., so best to go in the late morning or early afternoon. Send me a PM for when you are coming down and we can figure it out.
