Custom jewellery in Malaysia: what it costs in RM and how to order

Updated 4 November 2026

Custom jewellery in Malaysia costs from about RM 800 for a simple piece in sterling silver and from RM 2,500 for solid gold, while bespoke work can start from RM 1,500. Approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026, the final price rises with stones, metal and the complexity of the setting. For a quote on your design, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Deposit and payment

Some makers ask a non-refundable deposit to start the design and buy materials. One Malaysian studio asks RM 1,000, which is deducted from the final price. Ask for the deposit amount, the payment schedule and what happens if you change the design halfway through. Ask also whether the final price includes engraving and stones.

Metal, purity and stones

Ask for the metal and its purity in writing, because gold and silver are priced by weight and quality. The price depends heavily on the stone, the metal and how complex the setting is, so a plain band costs far less than a ring with set stones. If you bring your own metal, say so before the quote, and give the size or weight you need.

Delivery and the weather

Many makers post finished pieces, so ask how the piece reaches you. One designer offers free postage above RM 100 on the peninsula and above RM 200 in East Malaysia, with postage of RM 7 in West Malaysia. Malaysia is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so the weather does not change order times much, but custom work takes longer than a ready-made piece, so ask for the timeline in writing.

What to write in your request

Name the item, the metal and purity you want, and attach a sketch or photo if you have one. Say whether you have stones or want them set, the size or weight, whether you want engraving, and the deadline. Add your city, which may be Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam, and your budget. Sellers reply in the chat with their price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.
