If you are looking for ethical, quality jewelry that empowers artisans, look no further than Exquisite Thailand. Founded to give the world access to a stunning array of quality, handmade jewelry from Thailand, Exquisite Thailand believes in empowering jewelry makers and allowing small artisans to sell their products to an international audience.
With over 30 years of experience doing business in Thailand, the Exquisite Thailand team is known for their attention to detail, quality, and passion for empowering creators in small communities. The Exquisite Thailand team strives to source products primarily made by women in lower-income regions of Thailand, often from the Tribal North of the country. These artisans have few opportunities to sell their products outside a limited local audience.
Exquisite Thailand’s goal is to source the highest quality products that showcase the skills and talents of these local artisans by providing them a platform to help grow their businesses, which ultimately helps to provide for their families and communities. The Exquisite Thailand team believes the best way to help underserved communities is to provide opportunities to grow their businesses by accessing the global marketplace.
Most large retailers and sourcing companies are hesitant to work with smaller companies in Thailand, as the small production scale cannot meet their requirements. Combined with the added logistical complexity when working with smaller companies, large retailers cannot generate enough margin and profit to compensate for the added cost of a smaller-scale supply chain. This leaves smaller Thai businesses without opportunities that large international retailers can provide. While many mass merchant retailers choose quantity over quality, the Exquisite Thailand team sees this as an opportunity to help fill a hole in the market.
Working exclusively with small businesses, Exquisite Thailand operates with a strict fair trade policy. They demand all their suppliers pay their workers fairly and run safe and humane production facilities.
Their policy of sourcing directly from the producers allows greater transparency. It has the added benefit of cutting out brokers and middlemen, which ensures greater profit margins for the producers and greater value for the end customer.
Founder and company director Ben Heller has experience running social accountability audits throughout Asia and sees socially responsible sourcing as a core principle of Exquisite Thailand. He also has a longstanding relationship with the Thai Trade Department of the Thailand Department of International Trade Promotion. He ensures all their vendors run legitimate and socially responsible operations.
Based in Canada, Exquisite Thailand prices their selection of fine jewelry in CAD but sells and ships globally in beautiful custom boxes. If customers would prefer to minimize packaging, they can leave a note when placing their order and the fulfillment team is always willing to help. Orders are shipped with Canada Post, and transit times vary by location; however, on average, delivery times are between 3-5 days within Canada, 5-7 days for the United States, and 7-10 days for international orders.
For anyone interested in quality, unique pieces that will stand the test of time and fashion trends, Exquisite Thailand carries a wide range of styles. For silver lovers, they have an extensive line of silver pieces.
If you want quality jewelry that can be passed down from generation to generation, Exquisite Thailand has what you are looking for. They carry earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets in silver and gold that will stand the test of time in quality and style.
