  Gold

For jewelry, the ratio is three grams of gold to one gram of copper. Gold is cheaper in Asia than in the West. A ring will take two weeks to complete, and most shops will even deliver it to your hotel.

Draw your design, or select a ring from the shop's showcases and modify it. Tell them to have it finished a week before you really need it. Allow two weeks (maximum) for completion.

Take one of their business cards and call back in a week to see how the work is progressing. Check the work carefully as a ring or an armband can break easily, stones fall from mountings, etc.
