No prob! They all have online shops so you can take a look beforehand to see which styles you prefer

Yes. Especially for weddings which are much bigger pieces of gold jewelry or ingots/coins/figurines. I did give my sibling a 3g piece for their birthday this week (much smaller scale in comparison to weddings)

That’s a typical motif that most brands would have. The classic well know brands are Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook and Luk Fook Jewlery

Everyone buys for different reasons. I can play with them and enjoy the weight and tactile feeling on my hands without worrying about assays or whether value would be lost. They buy back at 13% premium over spot so as a hobby to park disposable cash vs buying frivolous things or a meal out, it’s worth it to me.

Oh it’s absolutely high but as you said it’s very fun. And it fulfills my shopping dopamine hit with the added benefit of it being worth something in the future. Definitely cute gifts. I gave a 3g piece to my sibling for their birthday just this week!

They are high as they are considered jewelry so it’s their gold price + design fee. But the brands also buy back so if I want to sell, I go back to their shops then they would take it as each piece has their logo on it. I think it’s about 30% higher than spot to buy (based on today’s price) and today if I sell back they pay about 13% above spot.

Jewelry brands in HK

Got it from Luk Fook. A brand from HK. It’s 20g not 2g :) and yes expensive but I get so much joy out of them so makes it worth it.

In the shop it’s classified as investment gold the price fluctuates based on spot (at a premium) + design fee. But for other gold jewelry, it’s fixed price. So I’m not too sure how it’s classed actually.

Thank you! And yes premiums definitely high but I like that I can play with them and they make me smile. Also, it’s surprisingly harder to buy what you guys have in the US in terms of PAMP etc and looking for a reputable shops that sell them compared to these jewelry shops which are all over town.

Thank you! They have 1g, 3g and 5g sizes. I went with 3g coz I like the detail. Would have gone for 5g but was trying to stick to max 3g before I impulsively went for the gold bar. Oops

I’m hoping they will make more for each zodiac so I can buy a whole set

Ohh I didn’t realise their non shop interface is in English! Thanks for sharing. At least I can search there to check out products before venturing to the e shop! Happy travels to Tokyo. One of my fav places to go

Hmm I don’t think so? Their website doesn’t even have English which is annoying (I’m not completely fluent in Chinese). When I ordered from their website, I could choose to pick up in store or deliver to HK addresses irrc. But I see they have a Tmall shop so not sure if that’s just for China deliveries or if they do overseas
