Thailand Gemstone Jewelry: The Next South Africa

The Thailand gemstone jewelry business is starting to behave like South Africa. It used to be that everyone would import jewels from South Africa because of the black market business there. Diamonds could be purchased for much cheaper than market price and then resold at full price. The same thing is happening to Thailand. Many dealers are going there to make their illegal purchases and then bringing the jewels back to the United States. In fact, many customers have found about this and were able to catch the dealers before they got away. So, next time you get jewelry, make sure to check that the dealer is legit.
