Bid to boost gem buyers' confidence

Gem and jewellery organisations have launched a Buy With Confidence (BWC) campaign, certifying jewellery shops selling quality products at fair prices, to raise buyers' confidence.

The Gem and Jewellery Business Development Committee of Thailand and The Gem and Jewellery Institute of Thailand (GIT) have also linked with the Jewel Fest Club to implement the project.

They will try to raise awareness of BWC projects among potential customers, particularly foreign tourists.

    This promotion has 'scam' written all over it. How many thousands of tourist groups have been taken by tour agencies to get ripped off by Thai jewellry shops? Now they will have verification stamp on their product, but does mean that the scamming will stop?
