Place to repair jewelry in Bangkok?

I have some 23k gold jewelry that needs some repairs. My jeweler in the US said that it would cost too much money to repair here so I’m bringing it to Bangkok. I’ve had jewelry repaired in the past in Asia and it was much less expensive there. I haven’t been to Bangkok since 2006 so I’m looking for recommendations for jewelers who are trustworthy, skilled and reasonable. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

I haven't been there since 2020, but SJ was still doing great work at that time. I had the backs of a pair of emerald earrings changed, and they made a replacement for a fairly complex earring that my daughter lost. In earlier years, I had a ring rebuilt, safety chains added, stones re-set, and rings & bracelets sized. Maybe call or email and talk to Lily, if she hasn't retired.

Thanks lcuy! In all my trips to Bangkok, I’ve never been to SJ. It’s about time I did.

I agree with SJ even though I was last in Bangkok in 2019/2020. But, I'm sure they're still there. Ask for Lily to see if she's still there. That's the person those of us on Asia forum have dealt with over the decades.
Happy Travels!

We were there about a year ago and my memory of it isn't sharp but I think Lily retired.
