MOE GEMS JEWELLERY

Reviewed By buckskinbelle

Moe and her nieces treated us like we were royalty. Moe could have sold us a much more expensive piece but because she wants you to be happy more than she wants to make a huge profit, she makes sure you get the right piece you will wear. We wanted a Pigeon Blood Myanmar Ruby ring. I thought I wanted it for my middle finger. She said I would need a large ruby then and it would be a ring that would be "too fancy" and I wouldn't wear it everyday - which was my other criteria. Therefore she sold me a pinky ring. She educated us more on natural verses heat treated rubies. I LOVE my ring and haven't stopped wearing it since that day. Moe could have made a higher purchase from us but instead she wanted me to leave with what I came there to buy. You will get a good deal, quality and the real thing that you can trust and a wonderful experience with Moe.

Would definitely recommend going here! We found it to be a very relaxing place and hundreds of white stupas were beautiful! A nice place to relax if you have time sit down in the shade and read a book!

Reviewed By MTP08 - Charlotte, United States

After one of the pagodas in Yangon, this was one of the top sites we saw on our trip. It gets very hot and there are steps to walk but it was well worth it. If you're good at taking pictures, this is worthy of going to for some awesome pictures when in Mandalay.
