    Re: gold shops?

    Hi all,

    I would like to share a personal experience in purchasing gold.

    One of my cousin purchased a gold bangle in Batu pahat shop. After one year they went to the same shop to exchange the bangle in a new pattern.But the shop owners refused to take back the bangle - stating that there is a "dot" in the bangle spoiled by mercury.

    My cousins were shocked to hear this. She rarely used that bangle:-(

    So you make sure that the shop will buy back the Items.

    Re: gold shops?

    hi all,

    Is there an option for exchanging old jewellery for new at the mustafa jewellery?
    If no , could someone share your experiences of exchanging old jewellery in some other shops.

    Re: gold shops?

    Hi Uthra,

    Yes you can exchange old gold in Mustafa. They will charge you for wastage which will be from 15% to 25% depending on where and when you bought your old gold. If the old gold was also brought in Singapore then the wasteage is less. If brought in India it will be high.
    I am not sure if they will give you money for your old gold.
    Other shops like GMT, Meena, Jewell Palace, Hanifa will also takes in old gold again it depends on the purity. Except in Mustafa you can bargain on the % of wastage they charge.
    One more thing to remember is that Mustafa will give us the GST back for the old gold which we traded, not sure of other shops.

    Regards
    Bindu

    Hi Jyothy

    It shows that you did not use the search function. There exists a thread already discussing Diamond earrings.

    I will be merging your thread with that one in 2 days time.

    Cheers!

    Re: where do you buy diamonds in singapore?

    In Singapore, you can try those private diamond retailers who sell diamonds at wholesale prices.

    Vivo Diamonds - Located at the heart of Orchard Road.

    I find them the most reasonably priced and service is excellent

    Larry Jewellery - Orchard Ion
    Service is good, but prices are a little on the high side.
