This morning, we headed down to the River City area where there are lots of jewellery stores. While Lyn found what she was after I didn’t have any luck. I was after silver with genuine stones, but the stores seemed to have Zirconias, be wholesale only or didn’t have anything I liked.
In the end I went back to the hotel and (as advised by the concierge at the Sheraton) called the Gems Gallery for a free pick up. I have bought a number of pieces from the Phuket store over the years and I know they have good quality, even if they aren’t bargin basement prices. I was initially looking for ruby and silver and after finding some earrings and a pendant that weren’t too bad, I went to look for bracelets. They had none with rubies but a very nice piece (at about $240) with sapphires and diamonds, which I bought instead.
I had some snacks at the Club for lunch and caught up with an American girl I met in the afternoon. I then went to a beauty salon near the hotel where I had a manicure, pedicure, cut and colour for about $70 including tips.
By the time I was finished the others were already in the Club. WE decide not to eat out and just had snacks there, followed by a last trip to the street stalls. Another shirt and a few DVDs and that was it. I leave at 5-30 in the morning so I need to pack.
