Why Today’s Gold Price Matters

Whether you’re buying a ring or selling in bulk, today’s gold price affects how much you pay—or receive.

• • It moves daily – global market trends, currency shifts, and supply/demand affect prices.
  • It helps you time your move – better decisions for buying, selling, and investing.
  • It’s not just for traders – even casual buyers avoid overpaying when they know the trend.

Gold Price Per Gram – What You’re Really Paying For

“Per gram” pricing is the simplest way to compare value.

• • For jewellery buyers: estimate the gold value inside a ring, chain, or bangle.
  • For comparisons: compare pricing across stores and purities quickly.
  • For planning: understand how price changes affect your budget.

Gold Value Calculation Guide (Estimate in SGD)

Calculating the value of your gold items before visiting a store helps you set the right expectations. Follow this professional 3-step formula used by traders in Singapore:

Step 1: Identify the Purity (Karat)

Check your gold for a hallmark stamp. This is usually found on the clasp of a necklace or the inner band of a ring.

999 (24K): Pure gold, typically found in gold bars and coins.

916 (22K): The most common purity for Singapore gold jewellery.

Step 2: Weigh Your Item

Use a precise digital scale to find the weight in grams (g). Even a small difference of 0.1g can change the value significantly given today’s high gold prices.

Step 3: Apply the Formula

To get an estimated reference value, use the following calculation:

[Weight in Grams] × [Price] = [Value]

Reminder: Final valuation may differ due to purity testing, condition and stone weight (if any).

Important Factors to Note

When you bring your gold to a professional appraisal, the specialists consider a few additional factors:

• • Purity Testing: We use professional-grade testing to verify that the gold content matches the hallmark.
  • Gemstones & Enamel: The weight of non-gold parts (like diamonds, stones, or enamel) is deducted from the total weight to find the “net gold weight.”
  • Condition: While the melt value remains high, items in excellent condition may hold a higher value for trade-in.
  • GST & Fees: Remember that investment-grade gold (999 bars) is GST-exempt, while jewellery transactions involve standard prevailing tax and a small “spread” (the difference between buying and selling prices).

999 vs 916 vs 18K – Which Gold Purity Should You Choose?

Not all gold is the same. Each purity has a purpose.

999 Gold (24K)

• • 99.9% pure, highest purity
  • Best for gold bars, coins, long-term holding
  • Softer, less ideal for daily-wear jewellery

916 Gold (22K)

• • 91.6% pure, popular in Singapore jewellery
  • Strong balance of value + durability
  • Great for heirloom-style jewellery

18K Gold (750)

• • 75% pure, mixed with other metals
  • More durable, popular for white/rose/yellow gold designs
  • Often used for modern styles

Rule of thumb: Higher purity = higher gold value. Lower purity = more durability.

What Moves Gold Prices?

Gold doesn’t move randomly—it reacts to the world.

• • Interest rates & inflation: when inflation rises or rates shift, gold often reacts.
  • Currency changes (SGD/USD): currency strength affects local pricing.
  • Global events: uncertainty (wars, recessions, major crises) can push gold demand up.
  • Central bank demand & investor sentiment: large buying/selling can influence direction.
