Hi Guys,

I wanna buy a gold necklace for my mum.
Online gold price is $78, but one jewellery shop in the mall told me $104. Even i add GST also dont have $104. Any idea why?

And is it cheaper to buy from neighbourhood gold shop then mall one?

You buy investment gold coins to give your mother then that is the price. Make into jewellery need costs.

$104/g should be 999 gold jewellery price, $100-$101/g is 916 gold.

Still need to add worksmanship and GST (some shops absorb).

I would avoid buying from Little India shops. Try Chinatown.

You are paying a premium for the craftmanship.

Gold has no GST, but jewellery has a workmanship cost of usually 25-30% more.
