has a dark side, there are scams to lure foreign tourists into buying worthless gems and jewels for high prices with the promise they can sell this items with multiple profit at home.

It is necessary to mention that this is not a unique Thai case, similar things  happen also in other countries like Brazil etc.

To put this into proportion, when you intend to buy some items - in particular expensive ones - take a expert with you, for hire one, ask the hotel, or check with the Bangkok gem exchange. Almost all rubies have inclusions, although most are not

visible to the naked eye, it needs the stone to be examine with a magnifying glass. The less inclusions and the better the color into the direction "of pigeons blood" the higher the quality of the precious stone is.

Also the cut of the ruby is important, inspect the stone under good lighting to ensure there are no scratches and not to much inclusions.

This inclusions are leading to a certain scams

to turn almost worthless rubies into inclusion free gemstone with a great color.  It is necessary to indicate this is nothing illegal, this process of enhancing rubies is known and implemented since ancient times. It just should be told to the gem and jewelry buyer that

that is a heat treated ruby, which is not done many times. Probably the two best gem and jewelry market in this region are the bi annual Yangon Myanmar Emporium and the gem market at Chanthaburi.

Almost all heat treated rubies come from Chanthaburi. The problem is you cant recognize this heat treated ruby, but a specialist with the right tools can. Since a lot of money is usually used on excellent jewels it can turn into a nightmare if one is not careful. Many people buy gemstones and jewelry to have something to sell when times are maybe not so good. When buying precious stones at Chanthaburi the best is to buy them in a shop and specifically ask if they are treated, most of the shop people tell the true. This is not the case when buying at the roadside, they tell anything customers wants to here with the only idea to close the deal.

Examples include bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings, as well as items like hair ornaments or body piercing jewelry. The gold, emerald, ruby, sapphire and semi precious stones jewelry items made in Thailand also usually have a good quality.

Chanthaburi, the gem capital of Thailand

and south east Asia is worth to go for some serious gem buys. Chanthaburi is south of Pattaya on the eastern side of the Gulf. This items, particularly when made with precious materials, is generally considered valuable and desirable, but be vigilant.

They manipulate everything if they think they can get quick money, means there are no ethic parameters, its only hit and run, it means they often manipulate the gold composition by bringing some more copper into, or maybe other metal, everything is done when it brings money, they heat up precious stones to make them look more valuable (but never tell this to customer etc.)

In some countries people have the practice of keeping large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewelry. Jewelry can also be symbolic, as in the case of Buddhist wearing a Buddha made from gold or a Jade Buddha Pendant, or, as is the case in many cultures, married people wearing a expensive wedding ring. And what can symbolize love and, of course, the wedding ceremony more than a valuable diamond ring?

Diamonds are valued by four characteristics: cut, carat (weight), clarity, and color. All four together determine how much a diamond is worth. Diamonds are rather seldom used in Thailand fashion jewelry. For cutting there are some questions, what is the proportion of the diamond or other gemstone?

Round brilliant diamonds are usually cut with 58 facets. The better distributed these facets are on the diamond, the more light will be reflected. This is extremely important, since when cut properly, the diamond will sparkle more. Diamond cuts are measured by the table percentage, so always ask for it. Cut also refers to the shape such as: round, pear, oval. Fashion in terms of diamonds is all about pink diamond and princess cut.

But the most popular among tourist is Thailand silver jewelry

Carat - How big is the gemstone? Larger gems often cost more per carat due to their size. There are 100 points to a carat. Hence a 50 point diamond is 1/2 a carat. (There are 5 carats to a gram.)

Clarity - How clear is the gemstone? Clarity ranges from flawless (perfect) to I (included).

Color - Diamond colors generally range from D - X for white and yellow diamonds. D is the whitest.

Cleaning: The best method for cleaning is a jeweler's polishing cloth. Many jewelers will clean your diamond and gemstones ring for free if you are making another purchase in the store.

A other gem gemstone import channel for Thailand is Madagascar. Because of the political system in Myanmar and Madagascar there is no investment into modern jewelry manufacturing and there are enough local jewelry specialists to create beautiful jewelry by modern manufacturing.
