Gem & Jewellery

Certain parts of Thailand are blessed with a natural abundance of precious stones: ruby, sapphire, zircon, onyx jade, opal. There is no doubting their marvelous properties and enduring monetary value, but what elevates the intrinsic value of these stones is the masterly skill of Thai lapidaries. Their faultless precision ensures the perfection of every cut and every facet.

These cutting skills are matched by an innate creative genius in design and setting. The result is an exciting choice of fine quality items at a wide range of prices. Thailand's gem and jewellery trade is concentrated mainly in Kanchanaburi, Chanthaburi, and Bangkok. The first two are in the main gemstone mining areas. Bangkok is internationally renowned as the centre of this glittering business, the place where experts converge to judge, grade, buy, and sell.
