Where to buy 916k Gold for 4 Dian Jin or Wedding band?
Hi, anyone has any recommendations to buy 916k for 4 dian jing.
So far the one i feel is trustworthy are:
- Poh Heng
- Heng Heng (AMK Central)
- heard of Chinatown People park Complex 2nd level Jewel shop in the corner, not sure of the name but it said to sell cheap , maybe it did not include GST or workmanship
Currently Gold price is on the rise. Last check on 02 May 11 is like
$73 per gram - 24k (99)
$63 per gram - 22k (916k)

the Chinatown complex do they give certification? no certification I dont really dare to trust. Gold price rose above $1518 few days ago but today it plummented back down to $1488 usd per ounce now. I am also looking around for cheaper jewellery shops to buy from as the well known brands one usually charge much higher.

peoplepark complex 2nd level, chung hwa, no GST and workmanship.Just the weight times the current rate (999 = $71.50 per gram) and still can bargain. just biught. I compare with Poh Heng and Heng Heng (Amk)- same design..everything same weight...alot ppl buy.

I'm not a yellow gold person but I'd to get 4-Dian-Jin cos of the traditions. I obliged and got Disney collections from Poh Heng for my future child since I do not have to wear it on the AD.

i also bought from another store called jin bao, same level in people complex..no GST but got workmanship..den i scout again and saw chung hwa..no GST and no workmanship..save alot...Gold price change ard last fri 6 May
999 Gold = 71.50

anyway, i monitor the gold price trend and check the singapore rate now before i buy. It indirectly link to gold price in Singapore as they are pegged to market

my error ..shd be in 68g as that week u bought for 916k
cfm chung hwa is no GSt and No workmanship. u just times the weight of the gold with current market price. u can test the weight.
i wanted a pair of gold ring for us.Mine current is lee hwa, normal 18k rose gold.
between, u saying u bought ur weeding bands , is it gold 916 or 999t ? where u bought?
hmm..u buy wedding band before AD in 2013.

Hi godbirdie , does the jewellery in chung hwa has the hallmark or certified by the Singapore Jewellers Association? meaning the "916" or the "shop stamp". cos I went to heng heng, even the small items(rings) have 3 hallmark. I scared of fake gold lar.

hi Jaslinegal, i being to 4 different shops and bought gold before, namely, PoH Heng, Heng Heng, Jin Bao (People Complex level 2) and Jin Bao (PP Complex level 2).The first 3 shops, including Jin Bao got the hall marks and the lionhead mark on the shop.Jin Bao has no GST. For Chung hwa, i went there cos friends recommend and it has been there for 20 years.It does not have any hallmark but the weight is as what they claim as i weigh them. u may want to check out and the designs are quite alot for both 916 and 999.
i understand how u felt. if u worried , u can go shops with lionhead marks...what i know at least Jin Bao has no GST..
just saw the news abt chung hwa..for sharing
