Jewelry has always been my souvenir of choice on our many trips abroad. In each country, I try to find a unique gold piece that is representative of the culture and craftsmanship.
The gold and precious stone items in Thailand are irresistible. In 1998 I took a loose, 13-carat amethyst to Bangkok and had it set in a handmade, 18k gold pendant setting with a small diamond for $98.
