Amanda Jewellery and its sister manufacturer KS Jewelry are featured in the Financial Times' special report on watches and jewellery, published this July.
The article, written by jewellery journalist Francesca Fearon, examines how "Made in Thailand" is increasingly recognised as a mark of quality in fine and high jewellery — and how a considerable proportion of the jewellery sold in Europe, America and beyond is, in fact, made in Thailand. In 2025, Thailand's gem and jewellery sector generated US$26.6 billion in exports, placing it among the country's largest export categories.
Speaking to the FT, Adam Komarnicki, General Manager of Amanda Jewellery and KS Jewelry, described what sets Thai manufacturing apart: "skilled hands, serious technical knowledge, access to materials, and a manufacturing culture capable of both discipline and patience."
The report highlights the complementary strengths of the two companies — Amanda's expertise in microscope setting, pavé, gemstone cutting and product development, alongside KS Jewelry's deeper technical infrastructure for complex high jewellery projects — with 550 employees across both, serving luxury houses from Place Vendôme in Paris to New York and Sydney.
The article also notes the role of sustainability in defining quality, referencing Amanda Jewellery's use of Single Mine Origin gold, verified sourcing of diamonds and coloured gemstones, and the growing participation of Thai manufacturers in the Responsible Jewellery Council, the Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 and the UN Global Compact — initiatives Amanda Jewellery is proud to be part of.
