Our Email (unsolicited) Comments & Reviews
(No revisions are made to written text)
Our customer comments about our product are critical to our success. Without their input we would not have been able to grow our business and offer the expertise that we now have acquired relevant to the high karat gold jewelry industry in Thailand. I hope that the following testimonials from our customers will convey the spirit in which we do business. Many customers have purchased from us multiple times through the past 17 years. We recently, (last 10 years!), began adding photos of the item purchased along with the customer comments to provide full details of the item as well as their buying experience with us. And then there are those rare times when a customer will send a personal photo of them wearing the jewelry. We celebrate this when it happens because we are all about the PEOPLE we have met along the way on this very long journey of introducing so many people to Thai Baht gold. Thank you, Tom and Pat Pryor

The Original Aviator Chain

| September 21, 2019 I have been shopping around for an Aviator Bar link Chain for several months and the 23Gold web site seemed believable. It was definitely a leap of faith to order from a strange man living half way around the world. However, my fears were put to rest as you are not only efficient but trustworthy. The chain I ordered had significant meaning to me as I spent a year in Thailand during the Vietnam war. The chain is beautiful or as we said in Thailand “This chain is sway mak for number one GI”. Thanks Tom for making it all happen. You are one of the few who not only talk service but actually deliver. I will be back! Feel free to use as much or as little of this review as you like Tom Ron W Spokane, WA |

| Aloha Tom,
I've been showing off my new necklace at the beach. I'm
really impressed with the design and craftsmanship. It's
nice to be able to just slip it on and off my head, rather
than always separating the clasp. I really appreciate the
time you took answering all my questions and educating me
about Thai baht gold. I'm looking forward to future
purchases... maybe a tiger pendant. I really love the
Vietnam era bar design also!

December 30, 2018 I give this buying experience an A+++ rating. Tom was very helpful and patient with my plethora of question. He even suggested I different amount of Baht to make sure the chain would be *beefy" enough for the length I requested. The chain came out beyond my expectation! I ordered my chain during a busy holiday season and it still arrived on time and the communication thought the process was top notch. Thanks again for an amazing chain.
Sincerely,
Andrew S.

Tom Got the chain today and wow…..just beautiful; just the right length and weight. I have it on and will likely only take it off for medical testing! Can you give me a price for a one baht bracelet / chain for Jeanie. Do they come with a lobster clasp? My daughter Jodi was also stationed at Camp Casey. She saw more of the world in her 22 years that I did in 20……Korea, Europe, Desert Storm, Pentagon
Take care……Happy New Year John G.

September 05, 2018
Hello Tom:
I want to begin by thanking you for my new, most beautiful, 5 baht, 30” barrel link Thai Baht Chain. Having lived in Northern Thailand (Udorn RTAFB) during the Vietnam War, I was and remain very familiar with the quality, workmanship and beauty of baht chains from Thailand.
Perhaps unlike many of your customers, I want to write this letter from a business perspective. I’ll not belabor the beauty of my baht chain, having done so in the above paragraph. Rather, I want to share with you, and perhaps your future customers, my concern with dealing with an unknown, overseas supplier, thru the internet.
I had been hesitant to place an order, even thru PayPal, with you. We had no previous relationship; we shared only emails; I had only your web site, your emails and YouTube videos to help allay my hesitancy.
However, before placing my order, I completed due diligence using these, and other sources of information available to me. As a direct result of my due diligence, I decided to move forward and placed the order for my baht chain with you.
From my perspective, I risked (1) losing my money entirely although I felt I might have some recourse thru PayPal; (2) receiving a chain that was not what I expected; (3) receiving a chain that was ‘gold plated’; or, (4) receiving a chain that was 12 or 14 karat gold. To address these, and other concerns, I had the chain appraised by a gold appraiser.
Today, I received an
appraisal from an independent, certified third party
jewelry/gold appraiser who has over 50 years experience in
appraising jewelry, and in particular Thai gold jewelry.
Was I ever surprised with his findings!
His findings and conclusions are:
1. The chain I ordered was appraised at nearly 24-karat pure gold, slightly exceeding the 23-karat gold I ordered; 2. The chain weighed slightly more than the 76 grams I ordered; 3. The chain measured 30" as ordered; 4. The workmanship in the chain was reflective of the superb workmanship of Thai jewelers and goldsmiths thus adding significant value to the chain’s material content; and, 5. The chain was appraised at a value significantly greater than the price I paid.
After receiving the appraisal, I do not know the words to describe my feelings of confidence in you. Your honesty throughout this process manifested by delivering a product that exceeded specifications, to an unknown overseas buyer, can not be overstated. Your responsiveness to my numerous questions and emails is commendable and only contributed to my confidence in working with you.
I have had the pleasure of working with you on this order and am all ready planning future orders with you, Tom. With much appreciation I remain grateful and look forward to working with you again.
Regards,
Bill K. |

August 28, 2018 Tom, I give a glowing recommendation to anyone that asks, and you may post this on your web site. My necklace is beautiful; the pictures cannot do it justice. I ordered from you quite a few years ago with a satisfactory experience and that is why you were my first choice for this expensive purchase; you are honorable and trustworthy. The buying experience was trouble free and with your expert assistance, I have received a quality necklace that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Although Green Berets never retire, I am an old Green Beret that appreciates quality and honesty. Thank you, Tom.TERRY C U.S. Army Special Forces, Retired |

Good morning Tom.
I have just taken possession of my chain from the Fedex
delivery man and boy am I pleased!
If I may quote from Ian Flemming :
'This is gold, Mr Bond! All my life I've admired it's colour,
it's brilliance, it's divine heaviness! I welcome any
enterprise that will increase my stock, which is
considerable" ( Not, sadly, in my case).
I could not be more happy with it and it weighs a ton!
Thank you so much for your expertise, helpfulness and
courtesy throughout this transaction.
I would strongly recommend anyone in the UK thinking about a
purchase from you not to hesitate. You can feel confident
dealing with Tom Pryor.
I shall forward a suitable photo in due course but in the
meantime, thanks a million.
Best wishes,
Shane in the UK

June 2018 Aloha Tom,
Good news, I got the chain today and
man is it ever nice. Thanks much, they really shined it up
great and it fits just wonderful with my jade pendant.
Thanks much for your patience with
my ordering and all my questions. I’ll keep this chain this

You take care and see you on FB and
You tube. If I or my wife get the itch again we will give you a
shout. :)
Warmest Aloha, Tim
