Tom,

The chains are just lovely.  I'm swamped this week - will try to get you a photo with the pendants on the chains.  The big one was a bit of a mystery...until I remembered that it was to hang on the CLASP, not the chain.  Then it worked.  :-)

Tom,
 
I got my the necklaces and I have to say I was stunned by the beautiful craftsmanship of them. I am so happy! They were well worth the wait. I really appreciate your time and work making my order correct. I have to say in the beginning I was scared to send that much money to another country without having anything to show for it. But now it's truly amazing. You and your wife really out did yourselves. I now have friends I can trust in the future. Thank you two so much for making this a pleasant transaction. FIVE STAR SERVICE!! Again thank the both of you for your time on these!

Years ago, I was stationed in Thailand with the Air Force.
 
At that time I purchased a one baht gold chain, which I have regretted selling.
 
After looking at several different vendors, I selected Tom to provide me with information regarding the purchase of a new two Baht chain and Amulet. And purchase, I did.
Tom is very informative, having several videos on U-Tube. Communication was easy, as he is an Expat American.
 
Both items, the Amulet and necklace are beautiful. Thai gold stands above any on Earth regarding beauty and quality.
Tom is a pleasure to do business with. He is knowledgeable, communicates well and earns my trust.
I look forward to the purchase of another chain very soon!

Thank you Thomas for the 6 Baht, 23 inch aviator chain. I love it. You can't find gold in this purity, color, design here in the U.S.. I've always wanted a nice unique gold chain in pure gold and you delivered. Smooth transaction, great contact throughout the process. I don't know why anyone would settle for used jewelry when you can order what you want the way you want it.  I'm so glad I found 23kgold.com. God bless you and your family.

Hey Thomas ,
I wanted to show you a pic of the necklace and bracelet together. I am actually typing with one hand on my phone and my macaw on the other hand. He doesn't like when I talk on phone due to not showing him any attention haha. I always have my chain tucked in when iam with him, but the bracelet is a different story haha. When he first saw it his eyes were locked on it but he knows better. 
Btw his name is tookie and he's 2 years old. He's my baby boy. Anyways talk to you soon take care ..

I took my time before making a decision about taking two inches off. I am just gonna leave it the way it is since it doesn't make such a big difference. I went to the jeweler and he himself said to leave it the way it is haha. He was shocked when he saw the chain. It's a beauty of a piece . It was great doing business with you Tom and looking forward for more purchases with you . Be well

Hello Tom,
I just wanted to follow up and tell you thank you so very much for the wonderful Baht chain necklace.
You are truly doing great craftsmanship with your jewelry and so much nicer than a standard mass produced product, it is hard to to find this quality anymore. It is also difficult to find the unique Thai Baht type chain that you have (as well as some of the other styles on your site). In addition your approach and all your help and support in making the purchase and following up was fantastic. Amazingly nice to find unique quality and service like yours, thank you.
The necklace also has great sentimental value to me as I think of it as a connection to my father, who was an Air America pilot in Vietnam and Thailand in the late 60's and early 70's. I was actually born in Saigon in 1967 and my brother in Bangkok in 1971. I have fond feelings for SE Asia and the necklace is a way to continue my connection to my father who has passed away and the place of my origin that I hope to return to visit some day. 
I am wanting to get some items for my wife and children as well so I look forward to talking more with you in the future.
Thank you again for everything and sending best wishes for you all to have a fantastic new year!

Tom,

I got the chain and amulet yesterday. I could not be more pleased. Question: can you also make the aviator chain in an "endless" design? I really like the clasp, but at some point in the future may order another. The endless would be stronger and more secure for outdoor activity.  Thank you very much!

20", 3 Baht add 1/4" with clasp. Anchor link chain. Link diameter is 3.5 mm

From: Leo Brunner,  October 6, 2016

 

 

Dear Tom, 

 

Ordering on the internet is a way of life for contractors overseas so I am not to shy about making purchases but it also is way to easy to get taken to the cleaners so I was a little hesitant about ordering a new chain to replace the one stolen from around my neck (aviator link) in the Philippines two years ago (I knew better but took the risk and lost a treasure for my foolishness).  

 

Recently this was my second or third look via the internet for Baht chains. I was actually looking at a competitor’s site and decided up to look at what other sites have to offer: So happy I landed on 23kgold.com. 

 

I appreciate your patience and addressing my concerns by responding to all my questions. I was somewhat nervous about shelling out a lot of coin to a foreign country. Reviewing customer feedback all said great things so I decided go with the 20” anchor link chain. It only took about a week to craft and I had it in my hands about 8 days later. 

 

I really appreciate you breaking new ground and working with me on the shipping peculiarities. My address is an APO address and you were hesitant to work through a mail forwarding firm like www,shipitapo.com. 

 

The process was a smooth transaction and I am thoroughly happy with the quality of service, craftsmanship of the piece, and delivery. I would recommend your site to anyone looking to purchase high quality almost pure gold jewelry.

Hi Tom,

The pendant has arrived and I am totally and completely satisfied - with everything! 
It is perfectly gorgeous in person and the color and clarity, size and shape of the tourmaline is just as I hoped. 
It all came together, I am thrilled! Wow, I will have no problem bringing you my next project if you are willing,
 It was such a great experience.

Thank you, thank you!

Dear Cheryl,

Glad you liked it.

I want to thank you for the wonderful learning experience. The process of locating the stone and all the way through to the completion of  a one-of a kind pendant. I hope you will show it to your friend at the jewelry store to see what he thinks of it. If he would like me to source any stones for him I would really appreciate the opportunity.

look forward to keeping in touch with you,

Thanks again,

Hi Tom,
 
Hope you have had a great beginning to the new year! The chain looks fantastic! I have had a couple of friends visit the site and I noticed it looks revamped, I hope that this means business is going strong! Will be in touch again in the near future to let you know about ordering more!
Thanks Tom!
 
It looks magnificent! Shipping to the office (2004 W 120th Ave Suite B, Denver CO 80234) would be best for me as I seem to be here all the time haha. I appreciate all of the communication you have had with me during the process and cant wait to show the chain to everyone here at the office, I have also talked to the officers of our corporation and may be able (fingers crossed) to authorize your chains as bonuses to some of the higher level employees. All in all this has been a wonderful experience so far. Thanks again.

Hi Tom, I hope you are keeping very well…thanks so much for the card!

I hope you and your wife also had a relaxing vacation over the holiday season and also rang in the New Year in style.  Instead of me telling you what my wife thought of her jewelry, I thought it would be better if I let her do the talking:

Hello and Happy New Year!  Tom, I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful bracelet and necklace.  You do such lovely work!  They are so unique – the colors, the detail, the texture and style.  I love wearing them, and I feel like they’ll bring me good luck in the New Year.  Best wishes to you and yours! - Rose

Thanks again so much for the amazing pieces, my wife has already received compliments on the bracelet and necklace from everyone who has seen them…in fact, she is wearing them right now as we get ready to ring in the New Year from here in the USA!

Wishing you all the very best in 2015,

Best Regards,

How are you? I am still loving my beautiful jewelry! I have copied a friend on this email, Kathy Gross. She and her husband were admiring my Baht necklace and bracelet which I wore attached as a necklace.
 
Could you please send her your website link info...I think she is looking for information and has some trepidation about buying blindly from Asia.

Tom, 
   Sorry I missed your call, but my phone was off and I dozed off after a week of working.  I would like to have talked to you...tried your number but it's a Skype number.
   The chain is a dandy.  I'm wearing it right now.  Just took it off and it's a little stiff; some segments aren't able to articulate.  I guess this will break in and the chain will be fluid.

What I wanted to talk to you about was the possibility of ordering another chain.  But that GSP thing would have to clear as I'd want to order a larger chain and possibly in that picture of the link I sent you.  I think it's called "Fancy Cable Link."  Or the other choice would be the barrel link like we discussed.

   And is the issue with the SS something new that you learned?  From what you said it seems like FedEx is dealing with a lot of recipients refusing their SS number so I'm not alone and I'm guessing they have to comply.  I just want to get this all clarified before ordering more stuff.
 
Thanks for being so articulate and organized and really on top of things.

Hello Tom.

I want to thank you for the stunning 23k chain that you had made for me.  I have never made a purchase this large over the Internet but because of our correspondence and your depth of knowledge I knew that I could trust you. I have been looking for a gold chain for some time as a result I did a lot of research.  I found that the Thai’s have a long legacy and an almost religious appreciation for fashioning gold into wearable art that in many ways exceeds that which you would in other countries know for high quality gold jewelry. The chain that I purchased from you is made to this Thai standard and speaks to level of craftsmanship that went into it’s production!  In closing, thanks for your honesty and attention to detail that began at the start and I am totally pleased with the chain and having chosen you to represent me in a place so far away.

Dear Tom,
 
This morning, the beautiful chain and pendant arrived. Both pieces of jewelry are as splendid as you said they would be. The detailed craftsmanship, rich color of the gold, and elegant style is fashionable yet masculine enough for me. I appreciate your extremely diligent customer focus. Especially noteworthy were your close and constant communications with me. In addition to reassuring me of your trustworthiness, it made the entire process seamless and stressless. Thank you for carefully and strategically negotiating with the goldsmiths on my behalf. You have a customer for life and I will gladly refer your company to family and friends. I encourage everyone with an intention of purchasing gold to do it soon. Prices are approaching levels not seen in my lifetime. In fact, when I visited Thailand in 1971, gold was approximately $35.00 and ounce. If I only had the foresight to see where prices were headed.
 
Thanks again Tom! Good luck with your business!!
 
George

"Having lived in Thailand as a child, I was eager to order a substantial gold chain as a Christmas gift.  After researching many sites, I decided to place my confidence in 23kgold.com and I was glad I did.  The first and most important thing was that I was immediately contacted by the owner - we communicated many times to make sure the order was just right.  This tremendously boosted my confidence that I was dealing with an extremely professional company.  Once payment was received, I was updated constantly on the process and even received pictures of the finished product before they shipped. The products arrived exactly on time, exactly as ordered and were exactly what I wanted.  What more can you ask for?
 
I can understand people might be concerned about sending money overseas - when dealing with Mr. Pryor and 23kgold.com you should feel absolutely confident you are in good hands whether you are spending 1,000.00 dollars or 10,000.00 dollars.

p.s.  And gold prices have gone up since I ordered, so I feel extra clever particularly since 23kgold.com urged me to order before the prices went up.

I received my beautiful bracelet this evening and am  thrilled.  The size is perfect,  the workmanship is fantastic, and it is exactly as I had wanted.  Thank you for helping me through each step of the process.  It's easy to purchase something off the shelf but was so much more rewarding and meaningful to have gone through you.  Now, I'm looking forward to wearing it and showing everyone.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara

Thomas -
 
I did receive the chain as you indicated.  I couldn't be more pleased.  My old chain was taken from me in a robbery in South Africa last month, I had it for over 30 years, and had originally bought it in Bangkok during a visit.  It was a 2 baht chain, and I wanted to get one a little larger.  This one is perfect, and just what I was anticipating.
 
Thanks for your efforts, and good service!
 
Regards
Giovanni

 10 Baht Braided Rope Chain

Hi Tom,

Yes I received the chain today as well as your phone call.  I was up in an extremely hot attic pulling wires at the time, so unfortunately I couldn't get to my phone. As for the chain, it is beautiful - exquisite - stunning - all three of those descriptions fit it very well.  I put it on and it made my other gold chain that I had been wearing look like rubbish.  The craftsmanship is of the highest quality and it has such a rich look to it.  The length is perfect - not too long, but not too short. 
Thanks Again,
Robert

Tom,
I love the three baht chain. It looks great and has a
wonderful, solid, well-made feel. I have the highest
regard for you and your family in Thailand because of
the way you honored your commitment to customer
satisfaction. I would recommend your company to
anyone who wants good quality, high carat gold.
Thanks,
John

Tom,
I don't really like it. I thought these chains were
solid and I don't like the hollow feel or weight.
Also, I should have ordered a 22". The 24" is too
long. So, if I end up wearing the chain I will
probably have it shortened.

Tom –

Testimonial: “What follows is an unsolicited testimonial – not an advertisement.

I decided to deal with Thomas Pryor Jr. at Siam Imports, LLC after doing more than a year’s research on manufacturers of high-grade custom designed gold jewelry.  I could not be more pleased with my experience with Mr. Pryor.

He consistently informed me as to the status of the manufacture of the three pieces that I had designed and ordered.  The manufacturing process did not take long and when the jewelry arrived my wife was absolutely thrilled with her two pieces.  My chain far exceeded my highest expectations.

Thank you Tom and Siam Imports LLC.

A grateful customer from Maryland.


Hi, Tom

Just want to let you know I received the braided necklace, and really like it a lot! Thanks for getting me this perfect length and style. Will keep watching your auctions. Hope you are doing well.

Kathleen 


Tom, The necklace arrived this morning. So heavy for a thing so small ! And the alloy's color and luster are quite fine. Needless to say, we are delighted. Not only with the jewelry, but also with your service and personal touch. Expect many more orders from us and our friends in the future. Meanwhile, we wish you and your wife the very best. Thanks again. Greg


Dear Mr. Pryor, I just wanted to extend a personal thank you for staying true to the promises on your Ebay site. Your Ebay site is very informative and professional. I am equally impressed with the substantial beauty of the bracelet I just received. It compliments the other 23k jewelry I own. I hope to do further business with you in the future. Don't be surprised if I email you very soon asking if you have more of this PIKUN bracelet. I have 4 sisters who I know will be very envious of my recent acquisition. My best wishes to you and your wife on your pending return travel to Thailand. Sincerely, Annabelle 


Hi Tom, shipment arrived on Thursday. Love the Necklace!!!!!!!!!!!as well as the silk. Thanks for the great service. It was nice doing business with you. Will check out your future auctions. Greetings, Gabie


Mr. Tom Pryor,
      THANK YOU!!  We did receive my necklace and I just LOVE it!!  My
birthday was Saturday, it was a gift from my husband Dana. Again we
couldn't be happier!!!
                    Sincerely,
                Dana & Cindy Jo

Hello Tom,  The necklace is WONDERFUL!!! I could not be happier!  It was well worth the wait. I just want to say thank you for the great  communications and service. I will be regularly checking your Ebay auctions and when ever I need a piece of QUALITY gold jewelry I will check with you before looking anywhere else. I'm sure we will be doing business again  in the near future. Thanks again and as always,  Best regards, Chris


 

I'm happy beyond belief Tom....it is wonderful.....you didn't give it justice in your description.....it is exactly what I wanted.....thank you so very much!!!  

 


Tom - The necklace arrived today.  It's much more delicate than a lot of Thai necklaces and that makes it quite special.  Many thanks. Brenda


Hi Tom,

The beaded chain just came!  What a beauty - I love it.  It is around my
neck right now - it is so smooth and comfortable.  I bought this one for
me and it is perfect.

Thanks so much for offering such high quality and beautiful items and
for the excellent service.  You are great to do business with.

Hi
Just wanted to let you know the earrings arrived today and they are just
beautiful!  Mom was thrilled--she never thought she'd find a pair of
hoops let alone ones as large and lovely as these!  Thanks so much
