Jewelry Industry in Asia & Thailand

Thailand has an unique position in the Jewelry Industry, it started with the semi-precious stone jewelry manufacturing in the mid 90's then followed by both the top end precious jewelry. Thailand has a large skilled workforce with salaries far lower than in the West. Being skilled at handicrafts seems part of Thai culture and both Thai and foreign companies found this to be an advantage.

At Kao San Road, Bangkok you can find many shops selling body jewelry at prices far lower than in your own countries and now you can find many web sites allowing customers outside Thailand to buy direct from the factories.

Some examples are Tongue Rings & Belly Rings which sells body jewelry to the US market and Toe Rings which sells mainly silver toe rings. Body Jewelry is a body jewelry site priced in UK pounds sterling and Belly Rings which like its name says is a belly button ring site also aimed at UK customers.

If you are into body piercing or other types of jewelry search the web and find some of the many sites which are Thai based.
