Contemporary Thai designers have shown a steady record when creating
either costume or high-fashion jewelry. By the use of traditional and
natural materials with gemstones and precious metals they are able to
create imaginative pieces unique to the country. Many designers have
also chosen to travel abroad to expand and improve their skills in
Europe and the united states, often returning home starting jewelry
schools, their own jewelry lines or working in another sectors of the
industry.
At present, Bangkok's jewelry district is the place to
find jewelry makers, retailers, gemstone dealers and wholesalers.
Comprising of four areas, namely Yaowarat, Charoen Krung, Silom and
Mahesak, the district is also a popular district attraction for its
concentration of temples, shrines and good restaurants. The numerous
shops on the district's streets cater to the casual shopper, tourists,
wholesalers and traders alike. In the Pratunam area, a popular shopping
center housing mainly wholesalers, a freshly renovated shopping mall
devotes its ground floor to jewelry and accessories.
So when
traveling to Thailand, a small piece of Thai jewelry will surely make a
great souvenir that reflects not only the current level of artistry of
the country, but also its past and traditions.
