Frequently Asked Questions
Expert Gold Guidance from Best Gold Shop Asia
💍 Buying & Purity
Q: What is the difference between 916 and 999 gold?
999 gold (24K) is 99.9% pure gold, ideal for investment bars. 916 gold (22K) is 91.6% pure gold mixed with alloys for durability, making it the best choice for daily wear jewelry like rings and necklaces.
Q: How do I know my gold is authentic?
Every piece at Best Gold Shop Asia is hallmarked. We provide E-Gold Certificates and use XRF Purity Testing to confirm exact gold content before purchase.
📈 Gold Investment & Value
Q: Is 999 gold better than 916 for investment?
Yes, for pure value retention, 999 gold is preferred as it tracks the global spot price most closely. However, 916 gold jewelry is often preferred by those who want to wear their investment while it appreciates.
Q: How are your gold prices calculated?
Our prices are based on the Live Singapore Gold Rate plus a transparent workmanship fee. We update our rates daily to ensure you get the fairest market price.
✨ Jewelry Care
Q: How should I clean my 916 gold jewelry?
Soak your jewelry in warm water with mild soap for 10 minutes. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub dirt, rinse with clean water, and dry with a lint-free cloth.
Q: Can I wear my gold jewelry in the shower or pool?
We recommend removing gold jewelry before swimming, as chlorine can weaken the gold structure over time. For showers, mild soap is okay, but avoid harsh body scrubs that could scratch the surface.
💳 Payments & Instalments
Q: How does the In-House vs. Grab/Atome Instalment work?
With Grab PayLater or Atome, you take the gold home today. With our In-House Plan, you lock in the price with a deposit and we keep the gold safe until your final payment is made.
