😠 This place is a complete scam. I’ve been trying to look for this place as I wanted to write a bad review. They sold me fake garnets and fake gold years ago. A tuktuk driver sent me here. I found out the gold was fake as it has tarnished over time. Don’t waste your money. People often mention items, driver,

    Do not recommend. I went there to support the tuk tuk driver who said he would receive a petrol voucher for 2L of petrol if he were to take me there for the first time but told me I didn't need to buy anything, just look around. I was genuinely interested in semi precious stones and told one sales staff member that I wasn't interested in precious stones. While he was serving me, another sales staff member took over and repeatedly asked if I wanted to see their sapphires. At one point I had to say I'm going to leave if he asks me again. He toned it down but kept showing me more expensive stones than the ones I was expressing an interest in. In the end he offered me a discount and said he would arrange for the items to be delivered to my hotel st 8pm the next night and that I would receive a call first. I didn't receive any call, any message to update me or any jewellery. I called their hotline the next morning several times at 830am when they're meant to be open but did not get through. When I finally received the items I was not happy with the workmanship / finishes and pointed out defects to the person who delivered the items who took photos. As I was flying out that night, I didn't have time to remedy them before leaving. Generally there are rough edges, gaps or nicks on the silver. That day I also received a call from the tuk tuk driver who told me that if I had bought items he was meant to receive a voucher for 5L of petrol and said he needed my invoice / bill number to get it. As I had not communicated in the interim with the tuk tuk driver whether or not I had purchased any items, I was surprised firstly, to hear from him and to learn that he knew that I had bought items, secondly, to learn that they receive a higher amount of petrol if items are purchased, thirdly that the jewellers had not given him the correct voucher on the day given that I had purchased items.

    Scam Alert‼️. The auto driver announced there is a 60% offer going for gems and jewelry. They target the foreigners. Beware. Buy at your own risk. The auto driver said they will give fuel coupons for him also so we just went there to help him out. I saw the review and didn't buy anything. They probably have a shady deal between them. The shop and the auto drivers. If you have got scammed, report them. I kept their card.
