Advice needed please.Dear team,
this is a sincere rquest for information.
While I am sweating and nackered,due to the heat of BK,I have a special reguest.
I have visited 4 major jewllery shps in Bangkok and been shocked.
The beautiful Thai jewellery is selling near the spot price of gold.About 7-8 % above spot I think.
Here are examples I got today.
15.5 grams of 96.5% gold.Price today about $740 NZ.-about $470 USA.I have better details on the other 2.
30.4 grams(near an ounce)96.5 % =31,000 baht.Divide by 33 for USA.$940.
Or a heavy man's bracelet.46.5 grams,cost today at USA $1409.
Now I do not own jewellery yet,but am fairly sure in NZ gold jewellery sells for 2-3 times its metal content.Mostly too 7 ,12 or 18 carat.Not 96.5 %
Basically,are these deals as good as the sound to me?
How much above its gold content,does jewellery sell for in the USA and Canada.?
The Goldsmiths are in Suhumvit Road mostly and serious outfits so I do not think a swindle lightly.
All opinion welcomes. and needed
PS buried jewelley at leasts looks good when loked at
