Badb0y Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi, I talked with this shop quite long and I'd like to know is it a good price for this ring or there is some other place where I can buy cheaper? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcharacters Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Check how many gold baht it is and add the cost for the making into a ring. There's a formula I think for figuring the workmanship of the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engagement rings were resuscitated by the jewellery industry to sell more diamonds.

Not necessary to buy her one. I bought my intended a silver one with a zirconium. She was happy enough with that, but stopped wearing it anyway.

Better ask her to which shop you should go. I am sure she will find the perfect shop. And don't forget your credit card. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably all her "friends" asked her why she has such a cheap silver ring - not even gold. Then she decided to never wear it again. Sorry - don't take it personal.

I certainly would not have bought her one. I gave my first a family heirloom ring, but I got it back when we were over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kf6vci Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Well, I would buy the ring second hand or wholesale. Wholesale means like at 35% retail. The day after, you won't be getting more than 20% for that ring, remember that. You might love her, but do you want to reward some dealers, or her? Buy something else with the money you can save...

Had to mouse over to find it (word "this") font looks normal on my computer. Diamonds are available in Thailand and suspect settings will be higher grade gold. The traditional sellers are in Chinatown in the same area as electronics are sold (Ban Mo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatOngo Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Don't tell her it only cost 1002.00 baht, she'll be horrified! Tell her it cost 25,000 baht, then she'll love you long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are 17 years long enough to let you know that not only my wife and I are wearing our wedding rings? May I ask you if you're here on a holiday, or if you're living here? And if so, for how long? The reason why I'm asking is pretty easy to understand. Too many people here talk about things where they really know nothing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people here talk about things where they really know nothing about it. Thais now do loads of things now that were never customary before mass tourism started. Just because some do, does not mean that it is necessary. If you want to wear rings, no one will stop you, but don't tell newbies that it's required. Come to that, it's not even required in the west. Engagement rings were an invention of the diamond sellers to sell more diamonds. I'm talking about engagement rings and not wedding rings because the thread is about engagement rings.
