Hello, baka lang someone knows where I can find gold jewelry manufacturer/s or supplier/s or

baka someone can connect me to one. I have a small online business and it's growing and I'm
planning to expand it further. I get my inventory from manila gold center pero gusto ko sana
sa manufacturer/supplier. Please message me or comment. Thaaaanks

Here’s my tip having a lot of experience in this field… go to your local small jewellery store, ask
can you take some photos and split the profits or even just resell them at cost - to prove your
model. Even buy some at retail and sell them at a loss if you can’t find a partner. Because the
hardest part is not sourcing it’s selling. Jewellery online sales is hard with difficult ROIs. Buying
wholesale means minimum order quantities, and if you can’t sell them it’s costly. Make 10 sales
before you even explore the buying side.

Covo 24k Gold HK located sa 2nd flr Gold Center. Jan ako bumibili, pati mga kilala kong brand
owners jan bumili ng pang giveaways na gold. Ilang beses na din na yan na features sa mga
Vlogs. Another is Jewelers & Co nakalimutan ko na to san banda, bsta LRT station yan, baba ka
lang tas lakad kunti.

+1 sa Jewelers & Co. dito kami bumibili, malapit sila sa Arranque Market.

Ongpin Jewelry Manila Supplier ❤️You can check their facebook page. I usually buy golds with
them online. I had it appraised sa trusted pawnshop and they confirmed naman na legit 18k
gold. They also sell their golds per gram.

If you want to buy gold jewelries, try pawnshop subasta. When I was in the buy and sell of
jewelries, I get first dibs at a popular pawnshop before they "subasta". Have it polished and re-
sell. Now, I buy physical gold or gold ETFs as investment. I sell some of my physical gold to
jewelers in Binondo if I need cash. :)

dami gold smith / jewelry makers sa meycauayan bulacan. some shops sa binondo/ongpin
from meycauayan ang suppliers

there are a lot of shops po around Meycauayan, may small and big shops. dito
( https://maps.app.goo.gl/ubEFwzMvh9tPstSX6?g_st=ic ) may tabi tabi na shops sa loob ng
bldg. diyan kami nagpapagawa dati before lumipat sa iba (gumagawa din kasi ng jewelry yung
fam ng gf ko so ayon 😂) and marami pa na jewelry factory na sa bahay bahay lang naka base.

yung store na lagi namin unang tinatanungan for quotations is nasa corner na likod ng
villarica. if papasok from mcarthur entrance, pagleft, yung nasa dulo, yung corner stall. I
forgot the name pero “A” yung umpisa. so far naman we never had issues sa kanila since pag
di nila kaya gawin yung design di nila pinipilit

Hi! I'm looking to invest in jewelry pieces just to diversify my portfolio. (And for personal use na
din). Can anyone recommend any legit gold jewelry shops in Bulacan or Metro Manila that sells
by the gram? I heard a lot of shops in Binondo cheats you with the quality of their gold
jewelry :(
Thanks a lot in advance!

Stardust, happy gold and time & gems all in greenhills.

My family bought, nagpareset, clean etc na kami sa 3 shops na to. Very reputable sila, they
have been there for years

Hi, I would recommend buying rematados on pawnshops. Mas safe and sure na gold sya since
na appraise na yung items. If you compare the buying and selling mas kokonti din ang
difference. Also mas mura siya compared to jewelry stores. Piliin mo lang yung mukhang bago
din.

BITAW NOHHH. KAY ANG PAMELETE BA. EXCEPT IF MUADTO KAS MANILA THEN NAA KAY LAIN
TUYO DIDTO. APPRUB.

We always go to Ongpin for gold jewelry, legit naman. 🥲

From what I've heard there are shops there that fake the value of their gold daw eh! For
example selling 18k gold as 21k gold, etc. So just trying to be cautious! Do you buy from any
specific store?

mayfair goldsmith in Binondo - Checked their ig and followed by Leni!!! I’m sold 😂💕

If you want gold then jewelry shops won't sell them to you for the gold value itself. Look for
independent but trustworthy jewelry sellers if you can.
Jewelry shops sell much higher than the gold value because of the workmanship, store
upkeep, etc.

Jewelry manufacturer here. Gold as an investment and expecting it to grow? No. Gold for
emergency funds? Maybe. Been in the industry since the 90's (parents passed on the business
to me). May mga suppliers kami ng gold na trusted. If tao lang nagbebenta samin usually hindi
namin pinapansin o kaya naman inuuri talaga namin (tunaw muna if malaki para sigurado na
tama ang uri at wala halo sa loob). Pag tinunaw meron 10% loss (pag tinunaw ang gold,
nababawasan ito ng timbang usually around 10%). Possibleng talo ka pa. Syempre hindi namin
bibilhin gold mo ng market value :)
Edit: clarifications
I always though about this. The only value you can get out of gold is when you resell it (unless
you like/ enjoy collecting gold). Plus, when you resell it, it's always lower than what you paid for
it.

Got a friend who works in cebuana, he told me he pass this jewelry inspection test/exam idk
what it was called so sya ang may control sa pag pasok ng mga alahas, they buy in bulk from
supplier looking for a quick cash using cebuana petty cash presyohan nya ng mura and sell it
to cebuana for more (making money out of thin air) its a common unspoken practice ng mga
higher staff ng pawnshops, one advice he tild me since nasa middle east kami i can buy gold
from ME and i can make a few thousand if i sell it sa pinas, few but if you do it multiple times or
in larger quantity you can make a profit. Not sure but ill probably try

Not an investment. Protection against inflation.

Gold is immune to Inflation. Put some of your money in Gold but not all to remain liquid.
Don't tell anyone if you have Gold.
Bigger gold bullion or bars cheaper because of lower premium vs coins.

Imagine this scenario: You buy gold worth 500,000 last 2022. In 2023, there was a high
inflation, let’s say 10%. If you sell that gold, it will be worth 550,000, meaning, your money in
2022 has the same buying power in 2023 despite the inflation. However if you kept that money
in the bank instead, you will have the same amount of money in 2023 with less buying power
(500,00 is worth less because of inflation).

Gold is just usually used as a hedge against inflation

Basically gold is a good place to put your money to protect it on inflation, pero as an
investment vehicle to grow it? Nope.
Nag iinvest ako sa gold recently and I am buying sa fb pages na Carding Ginto and Juning
Direct Supplier o kaya kay Jayne's Jewels (yung may 100k followers). Yung shipping fee iniisip
ko na pamasahe ko din at hindi ako nakakapunta sa Ongpin dahil sa totoo lang madali rin
akong maloko since di ako marunong tumingin ng totoong gold, unless i test nila sa harap ko
HAHAH. Pero yang 2 pages na yan, legit yan, kasi nagpa test na ako sa sanglaan. Mas
maganda nga pag live nila kasi mas mura per gram. Good for investment na yang 5k, kasi
lagpas 1 gram na yan,never kang lugi sa gold ❤️

It's been almost 3 weeks since typhoon Odette hit and finally I took the time to redeem the
necklace that i pawned. The day after the typhoon hit was the toughest. I didn't have any cash
on me since the day before I decided to use the cash I had on hand to pay my debts to end the
year debt free.
For the first 3 days there was no internet, no electricity, no running water, and the lines to the
atms were 8-12 hours long. I could not access my Gcash account or my bank account. I
couldn't use my bitcoin to pay for anything. I couldn't liquidate any of the stocks I had in my
account. Luckily I had a few pieces of jewelry on me and I was able to pawn my 18k necklace
since the local pawnshop was open and readily accepted it.
I paid around 3000 in interest for the around 100k I got. It's a lot but for the time and the
situation i'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
The important thing during the first day is time. Everything will get sold out instantly and
prices will rise super quickly so you will need as much cash as you can get right away. Water
went from 5 pesos a bottle to 15 to 20 to 60 in a matter of 3 days. The generators that the
hardware store next to my house went from 40k to 80k in the afternoon to 120k each the next
day and they were demanding CASH for the exact same quality.
So buy some jewelry. Get your wife a nice pair of earrings, or get your husband a nice bracelet
you might need it someday.
TLDR; buy some jewelry. gold is still cash in times of crisis.

Try looking in binondo there's a certain street in binondo that sells hight quality gold. Pero
Kung may relative's Ka from Saudi or Abu Dhabi much better ang deal and ang quality.
Agree with Binondo but for safety and convenience, you can also go to the local jewelry shops
in your local malls, they sell legit gold at a reasonable price. Big player jewelry shops tend to
sell gold at a higher price.

what I noticed in many jewelry shops sa pinas..so light!! so many pieces are hollow inside and
the price doesn't really reflect the value. make sure you check how heavy the piece is (in
grams).
Ongpin St. near Binondo Church. Tabi tabi lang sila dun, need mo lang magikot to find much
cheaper price with same quality. First shop we went price was 25k-30k then it gets lower as
you go to other stores. I think price is higher if the shop is big they might be paying for higher
rent? This Christmas we bought jewelry set for my mother as her gift. 18k saudi gold
pawnable. Good price and investment. Actually planning to get one myself once I have the
budget.

Cash depreciates though due to inflation, while gold is a safety net when markets are in
decline since the price of gold doesn't typically move with market prices.
When people say gold is a safety net, that's not entirely true. In a Mad-Max scenario, we'd be
fighting over food, water and fuel, not gold. Even in OP's scenario, the jewelry was only useful
because it could be pawned. You could repalce jewelry with say fine art, or heck even a car if
someone was willing to use it as collateral for a loan.
Second, gold does move with market prices. It correlates negatively (assuming there is
unexpected inflation). Gold, like any commodity is subject to market forces. If you bought gold
last year, at around USD 2K per OZ, it;s now around 1.8k USD per OZ, meaning you would've
lost 10% of the value, that's w/o taking inflation into account.

This is, well, terrible advice. I get it, gold is the equivalent of emergency cash. But so are some
of your other assets inside your house with jewelry being the most common. But for those
who don't know, you can pawn your electronics too: TV, phones, Macbooks, etc. or your
personal belongings like that Seiko watch collection. You don't need to go yolo and start
converting your pesos to gold coins.
Gold is a terrible investment: over a 30 year time span (1990-2020), gold has only returned
360% while the PSEi is 700%+. If you want safety, just have some spare pesos.
Anybody who brings up inflation is stupid -- there's a reason why it's called emergency cash.
Anybody who brings up the peso devaluation is similarly stupid -- no currency devalues itself
overnight so much that it's worthless the next day.
TLDR: Just have some spare cash on hand. Dunno, hide it under your bed or
something.

If you want to get it cheap try pawnshops during auctions.

The problem with precious metals is they do not appreciate as much as cash does and the
value is not standardized. Prices vary from one buyer to another. Also it is difficult to buy gold
and be sure that the carat it says is true.
I've been buying silver and some gold coins from buillions since early 2010s. The markup is
high and the selling price is low.
But in terms of stability they are pretty stable. As long as you know what you're buying.

sell the emotion not the product

I have gold bracelet and ring, bought both from ongpin (chinatown gold center) lahat dun orig,
pwede mo naman ibalik kapag napatunayan mong fake basta dalhin mo lang receipt, tip ko is
after mo bumili punta ka agad pawnshop para ipa-appraise kung nasasanla and per gram
bilhin mo huwag per piece.

Ok din to buy jewelry sa mga pawnshops kasi sure ka nasasangla ang alahas, and mas tama
ang appraisal ng item - karat and weight. Ang price is reasonable din.

Hi, I hope this helps! 😊

When buying gold jewelry online, consider the following tips to ensure you're dealing with a
legitimate and trustworthy seller:
1. Research the Seller:
•Look for reviews and ratings from other buyers. Websites, forums, and social media platforms
often have user feedback.
•Check if the seller has a physical store or presence, as this can add credibility.
2. Verify Authenticity:
•Ask for certification or hallmarking that verifies the gold content of the jewelry. Reputable
sellers provide this information willingly.
•Familiarize yourself with the markings on gold that indicate its purity.
3. Customer Service:
•Engage with the seller's customer service to gauge their responsiveness and willingness to
provide information.
•Legitimate sellers should be transparent about their products and answer any questions you
have.
4.Return Policy and Guarantee:
•Ensure the seller has a clear return policy in case the item doesn't meet your expectations.
•Check if there's a guarantee or warranty for the jewelry.
5. Secure Payment Methods:
•Use secure payment methods, such as credit cards or reputable online payment platforms,
which may offer buyer protection.
6.Compare Prices:
•Compare prices across different sellers. If an offer seems too good to be true, it might be a
red flag.
7. Check for Website Security:
•Verify that the website is secure (look for "https://" in the URL) to ensure your personal and
financial information is safe.
8.Ask for Recommendations:
•Seek recommendations from friends, family, or online communities for trustworthy jewelry
sellers.
Remember to trust your instincts. If something feels off or if the deal seems too risky, it's okay
to step back and explore other options. Always prioritize your safety and satisfaction when
making online purchases, especially with valuable items like jewelry.

Sa mga pawnshop din ako bumibili..sure na legit gold..buti may location na accessible sa amin
pag may medyo may budget dun ako bumibili for investment..

Thank you for all your comments. I’m new in the market here in pinas as jewellery seller.
Previously OFW where I accumulated my handpicked jewellery pieces from well known local
shops in UAE and Hong kong. It’s actually an investment like for example I bought 24K gold
earrings way back in 2016 then I sold it back to the shop last year, I got a higher rates in
returned. Feel free to check my bio. I’m still working on uploading my items..TY again!

Don't buy sa mga malls kasi kapag pinatry mong ipa-check ang value sa mga sanglaan, medyo
malayo sa SRP. Try mo bumili sa mga legit gold shops sa Ongpin. Extensive research ang
kailangan.
Bang for your buck.

The problem with physical gold in the Philippines is finding where to sell them near current
gold rate price. Pawnshops here are legally entitled to offer not less than 30% for precious
metals being pawned. I inquired with BSP about this because I became curious why
pawnshops have the same rate for 21k and 22k gold.
Better to know some gold dealer first who buys and sells near spot price.
Also gold is troublesome when being sold to. Imagine having your gold bar, coin, or jewelry
being tested at each gold buyer before they offer a price. This are not just the common scratch
test on a black stone. But invasive test like having a notch(small depression/indentation mark)
to see if it is solid, kada iaalok mo itetest ulit.

Shop in ongpin. Ask ka resibo para in case need mo bumalik. Pwede mo ipatest.
Nothing is guaranteed, mapa gold, silver or stocks. Watch ka about gold sa youtube.
Its nice to have a few gold pieces/jewelry since it holds value.
Good luck op

“Gold might outpace other assets during specific periods, while not holding up as well to long-
term price appreciation. If you're trying to save for retirement, for example, putting too much
money into gold could hold back long-term gains you would have gotten with stocks or bonds.
That's why it's important to choose the right allocation (generally only 5% to 10% of your
overall investments).”
Yes, I've read din somewhere na 5% lang recommended allocation for precious metals. Thank
you for this article! Will read this later.

Alam mo ba ibig sabihin ng investment? Ang gold ay store of wealth not really investment.

Do you have proof that it appreciates? If you look 1980 prices of gold, halos same lang ngayon.
Store of wealth kasi may stable value pero di masaydong tataas. Pag investment, ibig sabihin
gusto mong kumita. Ang gold hindi siya investment. Dapat wag kang masyadong nalilinlang
sa salitang investment.

Look at inflation. Maybe compare it to S&P 500. I don’t think you understand how difficult it is
to deal with actual gold. Maybe some family member or friend told you to buy gold and you’re
convinced but read more. Chances are average people like uou need average type of
investments.

We're talking about real prices, meaning tinanggal yung inflation para mas appropriate yung
comparison. So ibig sabihin, its price increase is almost the same as inflation. Wala talagang
increase in value. Tapos may premium pa ng labor dahil alahas. In the end, you will most likely
get back less than what you paid for it. Hindi talaga siya investment. It has its pros though.
During hyperinflation, war etc. you are sure that gold still has value. During emergencies, gold
can be used as currency. Kaya store of wealth siya, hindi siya mawawalan ng value but hindi
siya masyadong mag aappreciate.

Don't justify your gold jewelry purchase as investments. It is not a good investment.

You buy gold bars from Bangko sentral.

Technically you can buy gold that has been formed into bars from jewellers. Jewellery is our
family business and I can say I don’t recommend this unless you REALLY know your gold (I am
talking laboratory familiarity) or REALLY trust your supplier because there are SO MANY FAKES.
(I’ve seen gold bars that were gold on top and cheap metal a few layers deep).
Additionally, In theory the reason why gold bars are a good investment is because they
provide a good price spread (cost when you buy vs price you sell the gold for). There are a lot
of fees involved in buying gold bars so that can drive up costs, and lower your investment. In
practice in the Philippines, when you do sell, you’ll end up selling PER GRAM at market rate as
if it was just regular non-buillon gold.
And of course, ang dami ring mandaraya, as I already mentioned.

an you explain more why gold jewelry is not a good investment?

The value of gold jewelry derives mostly from the actual gold content.
The price of gold fluctuates depending on market sentiment. The common concept of 'gold
prices always goes up' is false. It is very much possible to incur a loss on gold
depending on the timing of when you sell.
More importantly, if you check historical data, you'll see that gold lags behind other
conventional assets like US equity and real estate.
Gold can hedge inflation over a loooooong period of time. Like if 1000 years ago you bury a
few gold coins enough to trade for a good leather coat, you can dig it up today, sell it and have
enough to buy a good leather jacket. But that's over a thousand years. In your lifetime, it's too
volatile to be a good investment. Disregard if you're a vampire.
read academic paper here

Good thing about gold as an investment is, meron kang sinusuot or ginagamit na alahas. Dual
ang purpose nya. Pero if pure investment lang din naman, madaming iba dyan.
Another pro of investing in gold is mababa lang ang cost nya. Bili ka lang direct from supplier.
Sometimes, it's just 3k per alahas. Makabili ka ng tatlo per year. Meron ka ng 9k. Accumulate
for 5 years, meron ka ng 45k na naipasok sa gold with value na about 50k. Not bad. Kung hindi
naman kayang mag-ipon talaga or bumili ng mas magandang investment, okay na itong gold
as a start.
Maraming mas better sa gold. Nandyan ang stocks at real estate. It has both advantages and
disadvantages in investing.
Sa ngayon, I personally like real estate. Pero hindi ka naman pwed mag-invest sa real estate ng
konti lang pera mo.
Sa stocks, you need some basic knowledge in doing it. 5k lang ang kelangan mo, pero with our
stock market ngayon, you need to be patient to get the gain that you want.
Pero, kinda agree. Gold jewellery isn't really a best investment. Still, depende pa din sa tao yan.
May gain at tumataas pa din ang value ng gold jewellery.

you don’t make money from it sa bagal mag appreciate mas lalo na if you buy yung may
diamonds / semi precious stones / lab stones they don’t count for anything. 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K
all have varying prices kasi meron kuno Japan gold, saudi gold, Italian gold etc. Mas mura din
yung bentahan per gram in Bulacan sa mga namamakyaw ng gold.
don’t buy jewelry with the intention of investing / reselling, that’s more for mga 24k bouillon
bars but even then they’re not worth that much and di mo rin magamit or masuot or masulit.
my mom may mga namanang gold but mas sulit to wear it than to sell per gram. just buy what
you plan on wearing for a long time 🥰
ginagawa ng mga titas ko, bili in bulk ng gold from binondo and resell online or abroad at 20%
markup. hehe

Mabagal ang pagtaas ng gold pero sure. For me binondo ay advertised lang na bilihan ng gold
pero ang mahal talaga don at ang daming manloloko pag nakita nila bagong gold buyer ka
lang. Subasta dn ako nabili, pag napadaan ka sa mga pawnshop mag tingin ka. Imus market
last november 3200 bnew per gram, 2900 sa subasta. sa may pangalan ka lang na pawnshop
bumili

Hello. As someone who owns a jewelry shop. Ang hirap po talagang maghanap nang
maasahan na gold supplier. It's true po na madali ang income sa gold pero ang hirap po
hanapin ng gold like 18 and 24k so if you're planning po to make a business make sure po na
planado lahat at may saktong supplier po kayo 😊

Gold and precious metals are more of safe haven now against inflation rather than get them
for capital appreciation. This is entirely true as seen on us markets.

As an avid jewelry buyer for more than a decade , ang masasabi ko here is compared sa mp2,
mutual fund , stocks eh definitely mas ok un mga un. However if you are the type of person na
mahilig sa clothes, makeup at anek anek. Choose gold . As gold compared to damit , gadgets
etc doesnt loose its value as much

invest in gold buillon when you have spare cash from other investments only as a form of
inflation hedge. gold jewelry on the other hand can be treated as an investment not
necessarily for its monetary value but in a way that you wouldn’t have to keep replacing it
since these typically last a lifetime just as long as it is good quality, not those cheap saudi gold
ones you see on fb or shopee. with proper care it will most probably outlive you and become
an heirloom that could be passed down through multiple generations

Gold is a good investment only IF sa Pinas may sellers market tayu. Pawnshop lang ang
talagang masasabing sellers market natin which buys at a hefty discount. If you plan to hold
gold for atleast 20-30years then its okay to buy. But make sure to treat it as an "INSURANCE
NOT AN INVESTMENT"
I just bought my gold as insurance incase the current financial system breaks. For the past
600years, everytime a world reserve currency is replaced. Its replaced by a new country that
have huge gold reserve. Right now USD (world reserve currency) is weak and gets printed to
oblivion. Its the same as what happen in history. People with gold were able to pass on their
wealth to the new financial system. This is why banks and rich people have gold.

gold is a good investment and hold it value unlike gadgets.Kung gusto mo sa subasta bumili
like cebuana madalas may 10% sila 2900 lang per gram sa brand new sa binondo 3300 ata ung
saudi gold mas mataas japan gold

I don't buy Gold in the country. I just don't trust it properly to be authentic, to begin
with. And yes, my gold is all from Dubai and I pay a hefty price to have it
imported in the country. There people are willing to buy authentic gold imported from
Dubai.
Is gold a good investment? NO! 100%. It's always a hit-and-miss. So I just sold all my local gold
and kept those with sentimental (and authentic) value.
If you want investment (not going to say crypto) find yourself in collectibles. Oh, believe
me, you'd be surprised the hobby is more expensive and more rewarding than gold.

if intention mo to hold it for a looong period of time then sell it high, then its a good
investment. medyo matagal lang
start reading about gold and other precious metals and the cost per gram worldwide.
tapos try checking sa cebuana lhuiller online para makita un selling price nila per gram. iwas
ka muna sa ongpin baka maoverwhelm ka madami din middle man doon.

Gold is never an investment, it does help shield your money from inflation since tumataas sya
along with the inflation.

When it comes to being a jewelry pieces for a long run investment siya in a sense it can last
until future generations kaysa buying pieces na non tarnished and gold plated. Also the price
differences ng mga vermeil gold plated and 14k-18k ay di na nagkakalayo especially
branded/ones. Designer ones costs thousands of pesos but stainless steel lang.
Don’t treat it as investment na parang stocks na i-add mo sa portfolio mo, ito yung kind of
“investment” na magagamit mo in case of emergency. Kahit luma na papatubog mo lang you
can still sell or pawn.

Investment siya if you have enough of it and you want to use it in case of emergency or
shortage of cash. Example scenario: Solid gold necklace, Japan made, 300K. Depende sa
pawnshop pwede masanla ng 220-240K. Kesa mag loan sa bank na hassle and maraming
requirements and mas mataas yung interest. In this scenario, such can be considered an
investment kasi convertible to easy cash. Kung tipong ayaw mo mag keep ng malakihan na
cash dep sa tradional bank (kasi maliit lang naman talaga interest) and want to enjoy wearing
gold, that’s the way to do it. I know someone who does this. Sanla then redeem after a month
or two pag need lang quick cash, pero sure na may darating pabalik to redeem it. My advice
buy quality pieces, check mo yung mga subasta sa big pawnshops. Anyway, okay din siya na
pamana, not bad naman talaga.

This isn’t me. Wala po ako nung example 300K necklace. lol Pansin ko hindi lang talaga sila
mahilig mag iwan ng big amounts of cash sa bank for long periods or at home. Puro nasa
properties and investments. These are old school peole, not exactly in the city, people na ayaw
mag online banking app, so for them hassle magpunta sa bank and why do so kung meron
malapit lang pawnshop. It’s easy na mag sangla ng big items and repeatedly do so kasi nasa
system na yung customer. Kilala na sila ng staff and when they pawn they help with the branch
quota too, so win-win situation.

Not a fan of investing on gold jewelry because it can easily be stolen.

But there are many sellers especially those who import from UAE. I even have friends who
have already migrated their and are gold sellers here in the Ph.

Dont buy jewellery with many stones,

Pawnshop dont count excludes the stones in their pricing when selling to them.
While if you are buying, those stone willbe includded in the cost.
Try as much as possible for puregold

I already have other investments. Nabore ako sa stock market, natutulog lang ang pera sa
emergency fund so I used part of it at bumili ng gold accessories. For investment lang sana
pero narealize ko boom ang gold business lalo na start nung pandemic so nagresell na din
ako. More on post at story lang sa fb. Ang masasabi ko lang, kala mo gipit ang Pilipino sa
panahon ngayon PERO pagdating sa gold jewelry, NOPE. As in gulat ako. Yun lang dapat
makahanap ka ng legit na supplier since napakadaming scammers to the highest level
pagdating sa gold. Mejo tinatamad na ako magbenta so I think I will keep na muna mga
collection ko then benta ko na lang later pag mej tumaas pa ang per gram. Mej may
movement naman na ang stocks at crypto so di na ako bored. Hahaha Basta may willing to buy
at a higher value, gold jewelry IS an investment.

Hey, I’ve actually done quite a bit of work in the jewelry industry. What others have already
said in this thread reigns true but there’s definitely still money to be made in the jewelry game,
especially if you’re more oriented towards the luxury/high-ticket side of the industry. The
affordable side of the market is basically dominated by brand name entities obtaining their
product at dirt cheap prices. Compete with them and you’ll find yourself dealing with a market
that’ll make it very difficult for you to sell anything at a margin that you can make a
comfortable living on.
I’ve personally found that to be a successful small-time luxury dealer, you basically need to
have a strong personal brand or reputation that appeals to the less-knowledgeable jewelry
enthusiasts. Those that have an interest in acquiring some legit bling but not so active within
the industry as to accurately appraise the value of the product. Think rappers, athletes, crypto
bros, etc. New money basically. This sort of clientele is highly sensitive to image/reputation so
appealing to them in a way that makes sense to them is your highest priority. You want to
entice those people to do business with you specifically by virtue of your image and
reputation, not by virtue of your pricing.
I have a lot of associates who do so by being reputable dealers within their localities but that
doesn’t mean you cannot expand into the online realm. I get close to 80% of my sales these
days purely from Instagram using a method I learned from an associate of mine who’s deep in
the onlyfans game. The method basically revolves around building an army of botted accounts
made to look like the official clone pages of your main account. My associate was basically
running thousands of these OF accounts simultaneously and using automated story reactions
to interact with the followers of other similar OF models.
I used a strategy almost identical to his but tailored it to the jewelry industry and cloned a
couple dozen profiles of my own IG to interact with users with an interest in luxury pages.
Now, I just have a virtual assistant of mine check messages and answer DMs through the tool.
If she deems a lead to be a serious buyer, I take over from there. With a little under fifty of
these accounts, I’m generating roughly 20-30 qualified leads per week. We do get a lot of time
wasters but I think that’s more or less on par with any industry dealing with high ticket sales so
getting a VA to manage and filter through those people is definitely worth the few extra bucks.
Anyways, I hope this gave you some ideas on how to navigate this particular hustle. It’s a
difficult one to succeed in due to the competition but if you’re just someone like me with an
interest in jewelry looking to make a semi-comfortable living or supplement your main source
of income with it, it’s definitely possible to do so. Good luck!
EDIT: Thanks for the love y’all! I got a PM asking me more about my method for Instagram so
let me try to explain it a bit more in-depth. Basically the method is referred to as the
instainfantry method, named after the instainfantry tool that sort of popularized it. It was
created by a group of growth hackers called GreyHatMarketing that do all sorts of stuff in that
realm outside of just IG. The general principle, and this applies to literally all forms of black hat
traffic generation, is that you’re never reliant on just one account or the algorithm to produce
your traffic for you. Instead, you have an army of them (hence the word “infantry” in
“instainfantry”) to go out and do your bidding.
That way, if one of your accounts gets flagged for automation or flagged for
counterfeit/copyright infringement (which happens a lot in the luxury industry despite most
people selling legit products), it’s little more than a nuisance. You just clone a new batch of
accounts to replace whichever ones were lost in the process and it’s like nothing really
changed. It’s completely different from regular social media use where you have just that
singular business account and all you’re really doing is just posting and hoping the platform
puts your content in front of the right people, whether it be organically or through paid ads.
There’s a lot more that goes into it that I’m probably not even able to explain properly but just
look it up and read the guides/case studies made on the subject; these guys post a lot of
information and there’s an even an informal ebook on black hat marketing you can get from
one of the main guys behind the tool. Hope that helped!

Congratulations on starting your own business! It's definitely smart to think ahead and plan for
growth. Social media can be a powerful tool for businesses so it's great that you're already
considering how to use it to your advantage. As for opening a website, I think it's a must-have
for any business - even a small one. You want to have a professional online presence that
customers can easily access. In terms of apps, there are plenty of great ones to choose from
depending on your specific needs. Some popular ones for tracking data include Google
Analytics, Hootsuite, and Trello. My biggest piece of advice would be to stay patient and
persistent. Building a successful business takes time and effort, but with the right mindset and
strategy, you can do it! Good luck :)
