Mmm I have a Bkk-based contact that sourced my bargain emeralds for me
Yup. Near Goodwood Park side. There are 2 so this is the one physically nearer to NGI. Next time when you walk by you will know.
Yes. I gave up on the HK setters who charge arm and leg and screwed up my moonstone pair that I haven't been able to replace the stones. I send mine direct to China setter now who does good work and transparent breakdown of gold weight, diamonds and labour fee. They don't charge for silly moulds too. Friend that sets with same setter sent in random pieces to NGI to test. Diamonds are real. I still have to find the time to bring down my pieces to a Yangon lab to test 18k gold purity or less. But am happy with the work so far. They rectify problems too.
Will you be willing to share your setter contact with me? Also, how do you communicate with them or send them the stones for setting?
Does your BKK contact have nice sapphires?
