The Evolution of Gold Jewelry in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s gold jewelry has gone from pure handwork to high-tech—it’s a pretty neat change. Way back, it was all simple flat designs—rings, necklaces, hammered out by craftsmen for practicality and value. By the mid-to-late 20th century, machines rolled in, and things got fancier; Chow Sang Sang’s floral pendants are a classic from that time.

These past few years, 3D printing’s pushed designs to a new level—立体 bangles and hollow patterns that are light and chic. I think it’s not just about looks; prices shift too. Traditional flat stuff’s cheaper to make, but 3D ones cost a few thousand HKD more per tael with all that extra work. For investing, I’d stick to solid bars; for fashion, go for the new styles. Hong Kong’s gold scene blends tech progress with East-West flair—a real local gem. Here’s hoping Malaigold keeps pace with the market and grows along with it.
