read this guide if you're buying gold 🤩 !!!!

hey gurlies, anyone is a gold fanatic like me?! hehehehhe

im not an expert in gold but i've brought enough gold to know what i'm buying hehehe so for those planning to buy sidianjin (四点金） or just gold in general, read on to know more! 📖📒📚📔

Type of Gold: 😋😋

- 18k: 🫶🏻

most peranakans loveee 18k cause this kind of gold is the most solid to "hit" hahahaha but ya 18k means alot more other metal contents compared to 22k or 24k

- BUT TO NOTE: when you sell these kind of gold - depreciation is gao gao one (so if you rly love the design then get these, else i wouldnt reco)

- 22k (also known as 916 gold): ❤️

91.6% gold in your jewellery - this kind of gold is the best for investment wise and also wearability!! when you sell back to the store, depreciation wont be as much/ sometimes can even get back the value you got at depending on gold prices (best to buy) 🤩🤩🤩

-24k (999 gold): ♥️

99.9% gold 🥹 but VERY MALLEABLE - when you hit something with it, say bye bye to it 👋 - if you want 24k, ill rather you get a SOLID GOLD BAR from some bullion!!

- handling this kind of gold, you must be careful max fr 🙃

- White gold: 🤍

usually this looks like silver BUT MORE LASTING THAN SILVER ~~ cause this is "gold" series, it wont rust or tarnish or oxidise like a silver/ other metals 😜

- if you want a lasting "silver-like" piece, you can consider this!! usually they will match it with diamonds to bring out the bling bling so its not so plain (so tbh- youre paying more so for diamonds 💎 and their cuts 🧐)

-----------

Now with these knowledge, imma talk about sidianjin (四点金)!!! ☺️😝

So what is 四点金?

- a set of 4 matching pieces (under same series)

- traditionally, this is usually an item given by your FUTURE MOTHER IN LAW to show that she blesses and agree to this marraige 💒💍

Designs for such item is usually very erm TRADITIONAL AND SHOWY, then you may ask .... whyyy ??!

1. item has to pair with your wed gown - which is usually very glaringly beautiful 😙😏, so the jewellery needs to SHOW itself heheheh

2. for people with vvvv old mindset thinking - giving the bride the best / a extravagant jewellery shows that their family are more well to do usually (altho in this era, idt alot are thinking this way le! people are more for designs 😚)

usually MIL will get this for you (secretly) 🤫 BUT NOWADAYS times has changed - MIL WILL BRING YOU TO BUY INSTEAD (so ladies, choose wisely 😉)

- you want this to be wearable daily? or wear once and keep in cabinet FOREVER? etc etc

- you want 22k gold/24k gold or white gold?

- modern design? or extravagant designs?

----------

Lastly, lets talk about price 😫😭

~~~~~~~

#1 For 22k / 24k Weighted Pieces ⚖️

i guess that the purchase price charged on you includes:

- price of gold itself 🏷️

-gst

ALSO, PLS DONT FORGET WORKMANSHIP $$ too (usually damn high in SG - i brought my roman series and bless me the workmanship price is AS EXP AS GOLD PRICE ITSELF 😤😤)

depending on the store you purchase from also, they MAY include commission

~~~~~~

#2 Fixed Price Gold Items 🧾

you can calculate yourself!! usually workmanship alrdy included so you know the exact prices youre paying compared to weighted pieces 💰💸

- usually e-commerce side will offer this 🖥️

BUT TAKE NOTE: INVOICE WONT INDICATE WEIGHT OF GOLD - do if you wanna sell in future, youll need to ask the store how this works ya 📞

thats all for this time gurlies!! wish yall the best after reading this guide hehehe 🧸🧸
