Neighborhood: Silom
Despite the lack of any major tourist attractions, this lively neighborhood is a favorite of many. Whether it's the (somewhat naughty) nightlife of Soi Patpong, the various handicraft night markets or the plethora of dining options that tickle your fancy, a night out in Silom is a must on every itinerary. It's worth a stop during daytime, too: join office workers on a quest to tasty street food during lunch and shop at Silom Complex for a great mix of Thai and international stores. After a day of strolling around the congested sidewalks, a visit to Silom's Lumphini Park, Bangkok's answer to NYC's Central Park, is a welcome change of scenery.

The complaint about material sent to be cut is true. They did some beautiful work for me and I am sure they continue today. There was that third shipment I sent over that had so little material cut and returned. No answers from Lambert. In fact the stopped communication. One of my customers that was in Thialand reported seeing the material for sale on the streets. Other than that time they were a great company .

With all the gems and jewelry business in Bangkok I am grateful for Lambert Industries that it exists! This is the only place where you will not be cheated but receive a professional advice, honest value of the gems, gold, jewelry and the finest jewelry work instead. Every time I wear my jewelry made at Lambert I receive compliments and happy to reveal the source. Lambert does provide services remotely as well and it works perfect. My colleague, who was impressed with my jewelry from Lambert, contacted them remotely and got her earrings by post to her great satisfaction with the jewelry work, time and the service overall. If you want to buy and have your jewelry made without being disappointed or cheated - this is the place to go! I discovered Lambert Ind. in Bangkok 15 years and and went back there again and again.

We sent Lambert 130 stones, 734 CT’s of sunstones. After 5 months we received an invoice for over $800.00 for their cutting service.
The stones that we sent averaged over 5 CT’s each, some larger some smaller. We received one parcel of 118 stones that weighed 47.5 CT’s most of the stones were so small that they were un useable. There were no stones over a half ct.
The second parcel was 95 stones at 129 CT’s. With 1 stone over 3 CT’s. The majority of the remaining stones were less than a ct.
I complained and received an answer telling me if I had better rough I would have had better cut stones.
I have faceted for over 30 years and only sent clean large stones.
Eric’s second response to my complaint was how their intake person separated the included pieces and had the included pieces cut to smaller sizes.
None of my stones were included. If they were included it would of been copper that is called Schiller and is highly desirable and increases the value of the stone.
I have suspicions why I have 216 small and useless stones from Lambert. You be the judge ! 130 stones at 734 CT’s = 216 stones at 176 CT’s. Most of the stones were under a ct.

I second all the positive reviews of Elsbeth and the team. I loved the experience in the showroom - easy going, lots of knowledge and info, friendly, and low key. On chosing stones we did some back and forth on designs and had another visit before landing on something. Despite a small hiccup we had a great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lambert’s and hope that we get to work with them again in the future.

My husband & I visited Lambert Gems (after reviewing all the feedback) in Jan 2020 with the aim of designing some stacking rings to go with my Diamond engagement ring. Of course, we were a bit nervous as this was the first time we had purchased quality jewellery anywhere overseas.
From the moment we met Elsbeth we knew we were at the right place. She immediately made us feel at ease as did the showroom which was as unshowey as a showroom could be. Elsbeth was welcoming, professional, highly knowledgable & totally relaxed in her approach. What I especially appreciated & thoroughly enjoyed was working with her to create my special rings just for me. She took on board my creative ideas & made many suggestions which were so helpful. At no time did we feel any pressure, in fact the complete opposite.
I am now the extremely happy & feeling very spoilt owner of 5 beautiful rings. The quality of the gems & the craftsmanship of the metalwork is unquestionable. We now won't be jewellery shopping anywhere else.
Thank you so much Elsbeth, with our very best regards :)

Really amazing customer service. I was in Bangkok on business and interested in looking at sapphires and jewelry. Found Lambert here on TripAdvisor and was impressed with the reviews. During my visit I pulled out my phone and showed them a picture of this ring I liked that I had found on the internet. They suggested they could make something similar...and that is exactly what they did! The project started after I returned home to the United States and everything after that first meeting was handled by email! Everything about that should be cause for concern but it was incredibly smooth and they were always quick with responses (24 to 48 hours with time difference). The ring they made me was incredibly beautiful. They actually rejected the first iteration from their designer. They told me when they sent those pictures that they thought the proportions were wrong and they immediately had the designer go back to work on a new one! Anyone, really love the ring. Thank you, it was fun.

I am a bit of a gem-enthusiast (obsessed?), and have been a repeat client of Lambert’s for the last decade-plus. Eric Forbes, as well as the equally amazing Elsbeth Zimmermann, and their lovely team of knowledgeable experts, have both been wonderful repositories of knowledge, counselling me on what suits me best, helping educate, and evolve my taste, in addition to possessing a well-curated, well-priced, selection of high-quality gemstones to suit my budget (confessedly, sometimes modest). Lambert’s gemstones and jewellery caters to every budget, and the quality of cutting and finishing is non-pareil. There is zero pressure to buy, and customers are encouraged to comparison-shop. Lambert does not haggle with regards to pricing, unlike most jewellery ateliers with huge mark-ups, and attendant “discounts.” Over the years, I have found their fixed pricing to be more than fair, and their customer service + follow-up + feedback-loop, exceptional. I have been thrilled with everything I have purchased from Lambert - Elsbeth, Eric & team have helped me amass a much-loved collection of rings, as well as gifts for family, and brought me much joy. I highly encourage all to pay Lambert a visit, and trust in their advice. Business at Lambert is always personal, never transactional. A pleasure to deal with, and consistently honest brokers. Highly recommended!!

I have been shopping here for probably 30 years. I can't say enough good things about Lambert. The people are wonderful, they have an amazing inventory of gems, and can do just about anything with them. They are creative, pragmatic and have a great eye. I typically bring pictures of what I like and we work together to personalize the piece. There is nothing that they cannot do.
Probably the best part is that these people are lovely. I enjoy visiting and learning about them and Bangkok, they always have good recommendations.
The biggest plus is that they are honest and you know what you are getting. Anything I have ever bought has appraised high. I love it all!

I had a ring made that I designed. I brought my own gem and even though it wasn't a natural gem they had no qualms about setting it in my ring. I had to leave Thailand before the ring was finished but they finished the ring and emailed me pictures of the results. There was a few things I wanted changed and they remade the ring twice. It turned out great didnt cost alot.

Hi, espenberg1. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Hello,
I have read a lot of nice Things about Lambert Gems. I am going to send some rough stones for cutting there. To start With. ( 4 Aqua and 4 tourmalines average weighjt about 11 ct With good and blocky shapes. Some are preformed. Eyeclean and better) Stones are from Mozambique. They have been at my Place for 22 years..)Maybe now it is the time?
My question is: Can I expect exellent cut from my exellent stones? Or should I send them to for instance to Idar-Oberstein to be sure for perfect result?

We are fossickers from QLD Aus and we always used Lamberts. Most of our sapphires an zircons are very small i.e. 2 - 4 ct., when you send it to them they will ask you how you would like to cut the stone. We do some for jewelry and some we just polish. We never had any complaints, they will sent it back and then we decide which to make jewelry from and their prices are at least 60% cheaper than Aus. My friend is a jeweler and he said he can't compete against them with quality and price
I have a 92 carat rough emerald and would like to know if you could cut it..and how does it cost....and how long does it take to cut it?

Hello, I have some uncut sapphires that I would like to have cut and polished. as I live in Australia, what is the procedure for me to have this done by Lambert gems .

Yes. They can do this, as well as design your piece for you, via e-mail, if that's most convenient. Best thing to do is to call them or email and they will give a specific set of instructions as to how to send the parcel and insure it, which mail service to use, and then how they proceed with your gems cutting them to your specifications. They are very thorough, and they will take time to do it right. It will also be at a reasonable price, and they are very professional.
