Thailand Jewelry Handicrafts
Thai Handicraft jewelry available in a selection of styles, sizes and prices. These jewelry pieces are usually handmade and sourced from small villages in the north and northeast of Thailand.

It seems that everyone who has visited Thailand recently has heard of, seen or maybe has bought "Hilltribe Silver Jewelry. I wonder how much of this jewelry is actually produced in Hill tribe villages and how much is factory made and touted around the tourist areas of tourist destinations like Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya.

I was taken aback recently when I tried to ask a group of 'Hill Tribe" jewelry sellers in Pattaya where they got their stock. 
I tried asking in Thai - no response
I tried asking in English - no response
Then I heard them mutter something
We had quite a lively chat in Khmer (Cambodian)

I think that the best silver jewelry to be found in Thailand is mass produced in well run jewelry factories with good materials and first class quality control. I know I worked in one such Taiwanese owned jewelry factory in Bangkok years ago.

The most interesting jewelry pieces coming from Thai artisans is undoubtedly gemstone jewelry, or more more accurately semi-precious gemstones jewelry. There are plenty of cheap, high quality gemstones to be found in Thailand and neighbouring countries like Laos, Burma and Cambodia.

One of our suppliers travels every two weeks from his home by The Mekong river in Isaan to the gemstone markets in Chantanaburi a thousand kilometers to the south east. He used to go by pick-up but now with rising fuel costs finds the bus more economical. The trip takes two days and his findings are eagerly set upon on his return by his team of gemstone cutters and polishers. These are then set into mainly silver mountings and packaged ready for sale.

Thailand in recent years has extended it's range and scope of traditional handicraft products to furnish and decorate your home, office or hotel.
