Trusted Jewelry Shops

[DrewSpz]

Hi folks, last request for info, promise!

How about any preferred/ trusted jewelry shops where I might find decent/ quality selection of male rings. Not necessarily wedding/ engagement rings...

Thanks for any thoughts.

If gold, then any gold shop.

There's a shop in Pattaya called Honest Gems so I suppose they should be high on the list

Am I correct in believing that all gold shops have to be registered with the government?
Very common for them to show the official gold value rate in their windows.

Since I'm not an expert at evaluating gemstones, and don't have one to assist me, I wouldn't trust any gems on sale in Thailand. Call me a cynic.

If I were looking to just buy something in gold, that's different. I would trust a number of larger, long-established gold shops, but there's one thing you need to know: if you buy jewelry (as opposed to bullion) you won't be able to sell it back to any shop except the one that sold it to you, and even then they will come up with fees or other tricks to ensure you don't get the full buy-back value. This despite the "guarantee" on the receipt.

I wouldn't call you a cynic.
I'd call you extremely wise.

That's not my experience.
There are 'manufacturing' fees, but fairly reasonable.

Absolutely not! What’s in a name? Only go with personal recommendations, especially here.

I'm shocked that you can't trust business names here! I am worried now - do you think I should I cancel my reservation for the super deluxe room at the Hi-So hotel just up the road?

I'm shocked you trust anything here!!! Do you also trust mamasans who say boy do everything?
A true story I went round Thailand last week and booked ordinary rooms. My friends booked super delux. TWICE they got an identical room . So yes chech everything very very carefully
