The area
Address
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.

Every gem and stone you can think of under one roof. A must visit if you are in the market for stones or gems. Lots of suppliers on more than 20 floors selling merchandise fir both individuals and businesses. Prices are good, but can the experience can be overwhelming for a beginner.

On the way to Jim Thomson ‘s House a local resident recommended this. We changed our plans and went to Gem first. The staff were courteous and the entire factory/retail store was clean and excellent. My wife bought a few pieces of jewelery including a lovely jade ring set in 18kt gold which came with a certificate. They have a complimentary refreshments bar and a wide array of local craft items.

This is not a wholesale jewelry center. It has some Indian vendors on the ground floor that sell mostly poor quality gemstones. The made jewelry is also quite poor quality- sterling silver or 9kt gold with poor workmanship. High prices for the quality of stones and gold work being offered. I have taken GIA classes and worked for a jewelry store in LA for several years.

I just got back from a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand and wanted to buy some rough gemstones for my own faceting. So I ended up at the Jewelry Trade Center on Silom Rd in Bangkok.
I was able to buy some very nice Nigerian Amethyst for about 33 cents a caret, a 60 caret Ruby rough with nice color also Green Fluorite . Some faceted topaz and peridot were really inexpensive. But look very carefully at what you are buying and be prepared to negotiate aggressively on all prices!
I did however almost become a victim of a pickpocket group. I was looking at some Sapphire at a small kiosk in the basement with my loupe, I moved back maybe two inches and felt somebody right up against me. It was a short black man who quickly said he was sorry and rushed off. I immediately checked my pockets ( I had button down pockets on Cabela's shorts) everything was still there. I realized that the clerk that had been helping me of course was aware of the man that had approached me as no one was within 30 feet of us. I set his Sapphire down and left immediately. Before this happened I had noticed a large black man in African robes loitering around the doorway and he had been eyeballing me all the time I was talking to the clerk.
As I left the building I glanced back and he seemed to be following me so at the curb I stopped at looked right at him, then crossed the street toward a hotel, he stopped and went back up to where he had been earlier. I am sure all three were partners.
Spent almost a month in this part of the world and had no other negative experiences wonderful and exotic part of the world with friendly and polite people!
I plan on going back next year to buy more stones.
I think it is safe enough in that area but know your stones and stay alert!

If your in Bangkok looking to purchase a ring, necklace, bracelet, jade or precious stones then l have found the Hidden Gem.
K.S. Gems located on the lower level of the Jewelry Trade Center
The Jewelry Trade Centre is located at 919 Silo Road, Bangrak Bangkok.
This place is difficult to find because all the shops are Wholesale Operators. .. NOT RETAIL.... so you will find the prices much lower the in the Department Stores.
There are hundreds of small stores in this building and l visited many of them but finally deciding on K.S. Gems.
A family shop that has been operating for three generations, l spoke with Thanakhun Assawakorn who was very helpful with my design request.
It's so confusing when looking at jewelry, you're unsure of exactly what the quality of the stones are.
Who do you trust?
Are you being told the truth?
Will l really get what l paid for?
I had specific requirements for my personal designed and Thanakhun was so very accommodating that l had three rings made by K.G. Gems and l was 100% satisfied with the results.
ALL THREE RINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!
If your in the market for something special recommend you only visit K.S. Gems, you will be very happy with the end product.

We are continously falling in love with this building. Just recently on our company's instagram @navneetgemscom, I also uploaded a photo of the Jewelry trade center building and was feeling amazing in the morning vibe! This place is a very good place for jewelry and gemstone buys! Especially for sapphires and rubies.

Bought a few Gemstones on this visit, mostly pink Sapphire for incoming Valentine day. There are various price and quality to choose. It is a bit difficult if you not familiar with the stone, because something seem similar to average people can be 100 times more expensive than the other one.
My suggestion is bargain to 50-60% from the opened price and bargain to the lowest. Then come back another day, and offer bargain again, sayimg you are leaving, and that's is your final offer.
Have a happy GEMSTONES hunting

I contacted Fluke, the owner, prior to arriving in Bangkok for a quote to duplicate a ring I had lost.
I had my own gold but no diamonds. Fluke repaired some jewlery I had bought for repair and replaced a ruby in a ring for me at a great price.
The best thing is her honesty, English skills and workmanship. I selected diamonds with her help and she made my ring keeping me very well updated with photos etc on whatsapp as I had returned to Australia.
Ring arrived via Fedex and I am SUPER happy with the result.
I would highly recommend Fluke to anyone.

Gemoria in the bangkok jewellery trade centre ( B37, B1 floor) has beautiful jewellery designs. Bought a ruby ring for my 40 th wedding anniversary. The service was helpful and not too pushy. I am really pleased with my purchase. There are many jewellery dealers in the BJTC and it can be confusing. But for someone who likes precious stones, it is a great place to spend a few hours.

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what's value of Ruby Aquamarine Tourmaline and topaz in JTC Thailand? We have our own mines of different precious and semi precious stones in Northern areas of Pakistan. I want to export rough stones to Thailand.

When you walk in the door first counter on your right ask for fluke . Very proffesional .she is building me a line of jewelry. In the jewelry industry there are many levels to play at. Some sell only natural. Some sell heated gem. Others sell berilium treated and hlass filled for lesser markets. This isnt junk its just the industry supplies every level of gems. Example a fine ruby starts at 2500 a ct. Glass filled about 600 for a 4ct gem 100 dollars for a berilium treated this is to fit every budget.

I only had a few hours in the JTC and there much I did not see. I do know that there were vendors that showed many different types of stones. I mainly shopped at stores selling sapphires, diamonds, and emeralds.
