Jewellery shopping in Thailand

  1. A

    Uthai’s Gems

    With 40 years in the business, Uthai’s fixed prices and good service, including a money-back guarantee, make him a popular choice among expats. The showroom boasts a huge stock, and gems can be custom-cut to order.

    House Of Gems

    The name 'House of Gems' is an interesting sales pitch for a shop claiming to sell dinosaur droppings. If you look in the window, dry cross-sections will teach you the subtle difference between the 'gems' of a carnivorous dinosaur, compared to its herbivorous friends. Don't say we didn't tell you that there's nothing you can't buy in Bangkok.

    Chiang Mai

    Chiang Mai, one of our favourite shops along the entire strip, carries a selection of well-made cotton T-shirts silk screened with more than 30 different old Chiang Mai designs, along with equally well-designed silver and bead jewellery and a changing selection of interesting accessories.

    Johnny’s Gems

    A long-time favourite of Bangkok expats, Johnny’s Gems is a reliable name in an unreliable business. The namesake founder has since passed away, but his son carries on the spick-and-span reputation, primarily dealing in rubies and emeralds from fun to serious.

    mz collection

    On entering the night market from Th Phahonyothin you’ll see mz collection on the right-hand side. This shop has unusual handmade silver and semi-precious stone jewellery. Each piece is unique so don’t expect bargain basement prices.

    Lin Silvercraft

    Lin might be a bit pricier than your average Bangkok silver shop but you know you're getting the genuine article. You can pick up classic pieces like silver chokers, thick bangles and custom-engraved cuff links.

    Elephant Plus

    Almost too upscale and tasteful for the Kata crush, here you’ll find high-end designer jewellery imagined by Mrs Mom Tri, as well as speciality stemware, antique carvings and top-shelf silk sarongs.

    For contemporary jewellery, this studio hand-makes high-quality rings (7000B to 8000B), pendants and earrings using silver, gold and precious stones. Pieces can be custom made and are very classy.

    V Multi-Gems

    Peruse cases of rubies, pearls and sapphires. Sure, it has hideous print shirts and cheesy tea sets, but check out those strands of light-bending cultured pearls. Great deals abound.
