A shop that sells gold and silver jewellery. Also known in Mandarin as "金店" or "金铺".

由来
  • 据说潮州人一般将这类金饰店称为金庄。
  • 在三十年代，新加坡牛车水的大马路，即桥南路（South Bridge Road）一带曾经拥有许多金庄，因此被大家称为“金铺街”。

ETYMOLOGY

  • It is said that the Teochews often called these goldsmith shops “金庄”. 

  • In the 1930s, there used to be many goldsmith shops along South Bridge Road in Chinatown. Hence, the street used to be known as “金铺街” (goldsmith street). 

  • Each of these shops would hire a goldsmith who was responsible for making or altering the gold jewellery. In the olden days, these shops mainly sold gold and silver jewellery, pearls and jades. 

  • In those days, some people would also deposit their savings in  goldsmith shops or pawn shops that they trusted. They did not deposit their money in banks because they lacked a good understanding of these institutions and were worried that banks would be unreliable.
