🔶 What Determines Gold Prices in Singapore?

Gold prices change daily, influenced by several global factors:

• International gold market (London Bullion Market)
• US Dollar strength
• Inflation and global economic conditions
• Demand for gold jewelry and bullion

Jewelry shops in Singapore — including Best Gold Shop — follow the same international benchmark before applying purity conversion and workmanship.

🔶 Understanding 916 Gold vs 999 Gold

24K / 999 Gold

• 99.9% pure gold
• Highest intrinsic value
• Commonly used for gold bars, pendants, and pure gold beads

22K / 916 Gold

• 91.6% pure gold
• Stronger and more durable for daily wear
• Used for bracelets, bangles, chains, and earrings

Because purity is different, the price calculation is different too.

🔶 How to Calculate 916 & 999 Gold Price (2026 Guide)

✔ Formula for 999 Gold (24K)

Price = Weight (g) × 999 gold price per gram

✔ Formula for 916 Gold (22K)

Price = Weight (g) × 916 gold price per gram + Workmanship (WMS)

Workmanship varies depending on design complexity, thickness, and crafting style.

🔶 Example Calculation (Easy to Understand)

Example 1: 916 Gold Bracelet (8g)

• 916 gold price per gram: $90 (example)
• Weight: 8g
• Workmanship: $60

Total Price = 8 × 90 + 60 = $780

Example 2: 999 Gold Bar (10g)

• 999 gold price per gram: $98 (example)

Total Price = 10 × 98 = $980

🔶 Why Gold Prices Differ Between Shops

Gold shops may charge differently because of:

• Different workmanship (WMS) rates
• Brand premium or design exclusivity
• Purity, certification, and authenticity guarantees

At Best Gold Shop, we aim to offer transparent pricing and trusted purity with every purchase.
