Tailor On Ten is a Bangkok tailor that focuses on high quality fabrics, excellent workmanship and great service. While making fantastic suits and shirts is our passion, we love to explore our city and in this guide we give recommendations for our favorite spots around Bangkok.

 

Leela Gems is located in the bustling MBK shopping center. If you have not visited it before, it can be overwhelming. Among the 2000 stores (!), You can find everything from cowboy boots to fake iPhones, contact lenses to genuine diamonds. This is where Leela Gems comes in. Out of their tiny shop, Sunee and her daughters Muay and Siri sell high-quality diamonds and other gemstones, providing knowledge and guidance to young couples and diamond lovers alike, all with a smile and great English. We speak to Muay (pronounced mui), who's third generation from the family to work in the business.

My grandfather was an mechanic in a goldsmith workshop, so the profession came naturally. My mother has been in business for over 30 years and we've been in this location for about 10 years. The shop's name is actually short for our surname, Leelamantep.

I See You that have Certificates from GIA, What does that Mean?
The Gemological Institute of America is a Major Diamond and Gem Institute for Research, Education and Protection customer, Headquartered in California. They have a branch in Bangkok, which is where I studied gemology and received my certificates for diamond grading and colored stone grading.

About Laser Inscribed Diamonds What's this so?
GIA Certified Diamonds Come now Laser Inscribed. GIA labs inscribe a serial number, which you can use to track a report for the individual stone. You need a microscope with about 20x magnification to see the number. It means you can ensure quality and ownership. For example, if you hand a diamond ring in for repolishing, you know that you're getting yours back, not another one.

So just like when you buy a suit from Tailor On Ten made from authentic European fabric and get the fabric mill's label sewn in, you'll get the authenticity proven by the GIA serial number at Leela Gems.

About US tell your own Ring, Muay.
This is My Wedding Ring. It's D color diamond, which is the absolute colorless one. The more yellowish ones are typically cheaper, until they get intensely yellow or other colors, which are considered as fancy color diamonds. These are very rare and consequently more expensive.

Muay tells US that Sunee Her Mother Walking is their showcase and we Understand why; She wears gorgeous SET of Diamond Jewelry including Rings, earrings, necklace, and Bracelet She looks fantastic and with them!

Who's your typical customer?
It's mostly Locals Some Tourists but also of course. Lots of couples about to get married. In Thai culture you only have a wedding ring, but now some couples are adopting the western style of having an engagement ring also.

What would You recommend for someone Who does not know much About gems?
First, You Need a Budget to SET. Secondly, select the material eg diamond, gemstone, gold, white gold. Then select the style. After that we can make recommendations.

You now see why we like Leela Gems. Just like us, they provide classic but modern styling, expertise and authenticity, often to dapper grooms or wedding guests.

What's your favorite spot in Bangkok?
I Really like Suan Lum since it's a lovely Green Space in the MIDDLE of the City.

That's what locals call it, Lumpini Park being the official name. A nice escape indeed, with a big lake, green lawns and a track of about 2.5 km around, which is ideal for a run.

To recommend any travel destinations?
Well, we're in Thailand, so it Makes Sense to Go to the Beach. Hua Hin is nice and only two hours away, so it's convenient for going over a weekend. There are many great seafood restaurants and plenty of hotels and resorts.

What do You Think distinguishes a well-dressed Man?
They should not dress Too complicated. A nice fitting shirt. Just keeping it simple.

You do have any anecdotes to share?
We actually had a Thai superstar in the Shop. His name is Mos Patiparn, he's a very famous actor, TV show host and pop singer. He bought D-color diamond earrings for his girlfriend (who is now his wife) and they ended up on the front page of the newspapers.

So if you're looking for a friendly, reliable place to buy something special, do like the stars and head over to Leela Gems.
