Guide
How to Buy Your First Piece of Gold
To buy your first piece of gold, decide who it is for, how often it will be worn, and your budget. Then choose a karat and weight that fit. Vivid Karats shows karat and estimated weight on its pieces, and helps first-time buyers personally on WhatsApp.
Step 1: Decide who it is for
For yourself, a partner, a child or as an investment. Each points to different pieces.
Step 2: Decide how it will be worn
Everyday pieces should be durable, so 18k is a common choice. Occasion pieces can be bolder and richer in colour.
Step 3: Set a budget
Weight drives price. Our Budget Planner shows real pieces at or below your budget, plus a guide to roughly how many grams your budget buys today.
Step 4: Ask us anything
Not sure? Start with what feels right and grow your collection. A member of our team replies personally.
