Gold rings attract customers, buying 1 tael, you have to wait a whole month to get it

Demand for buying gold rings and gold bars is still high

According to Lao Dong reporter's records on February 12, the price of plain round gold rings in the country of some brands was slightly adjusted up compared to yesterday's trading session. Although the time near Tet makes the buying and selling pace in the market somewhat thinner than previous peak periods, the demand for buying gold rings from people still remains at a high level.

However, buying gold rings recently still depends on the sales policies of each store. Many places limit the quantity sold in a day. Meanwhile, most gold shops are still temporarily suspending gold bar trading.

Ms. Ho Thi Nhung (Hoan Kiem ward, Hanoi) said that last month she bought a tael of gold at a store on Tran Nhan Tong street and today continued to return to buy more.

Approaching Tet, the market seems less crowded than a few days ago, but the demand for buying gold for savings is still high. Recently, many places no longer sell gold bars, so I switched to buying gold rings" - Ms. Nhung shared.

According to Ms. Nhung, buying and selling depends quite a lot on the opening time of the store. "Some days when I arrive, the store reports that it is out of stock, some days they only allow me to buy a maximum of 1 - 2 chi. Today they sell a maximum of 5 luong and promise to return on March 15, 2026 when buying from 1 luong or more. If you buy less than 5 chi, you can receive it immediately" - she said.

Ms. Nhung added that if customers buy a quantity of gold rings, they will be issued an appointment invoice. "While waiting for more than a month, if I urgently need money, I can still resell the invoice to the store. Although I have to wait, I still want to buy it to save, especially at the end of the year" - she said.

Also present at the store on Tran Nhan Tong street to buy gold rings, Mr. Nguyen Van Trung (Bach Mai ward, Hanoi) said that today the store did not issue tickets like some days before, but let customers enter to transact in order of queuing.

The store does not issue numbers, whoever comes first stands and waits and then goes in to buy. I plan to buy 2 copies of the 5-chi gold ring type. There are still quite a few people in front of me, so I probably have to wait a little longer" - Mr. Trung shared.
