In Cambodia, the jewellery market is currently navigating a period of high gold prices (reaching approximately KHR 657,609 per gram for 24K in late February 2026). Retailers are shifting their focus from Valentine's Day clearances to "Spring Wedding" promotions and early previews for International Women’s Day.
Top Brand & Retailer Offers
BOZ Jewelry
This brand is popular for modern, personalized designs and has been active with February campaigns.
* Welcome Discount: New customers who join the BOZ community can enjoy 10% off their first order.

Pandora Cambodia
Pandora continues to lead the "affordable luxury" segment in Phnom Penh (found in major malls like AEON 1 and AEON 2).
* Bracelet Bundle: For a limited time, they are offering 15% off select bracelets when you purchase at least two charms.
* Member Exclusives: My Pandora members have early access to the 2026 Pink Sea Turtle Lab-Grown Diamond Dangle Charm and the new "Spring Trio" sets.
* Free Gift: Many boutiques are offering a Free Princess Jewelry Box with a minimum spend (typically around $150–$200).
Sokha Jewelry & Local Goldsmiths
Local "Zlatara-style" shops in the Central Market (Phsar Thmei) and Russian Market are the best places for high-purity gold.
* Trade-In Strategy: Due to the record-high gold rates this month, many local vendors are offering a "High Valuation Guarantee" for old gold. This allows customers to trade in traditional 24K gold for more modern 18K diamond-set pieces with minimal cash outlay.
* Handmade Filigree: Independent artisans in the markets are offering competitive "making charges" on traditional Cambodian wedding sets as they prepare for the peak April wedding season (around Khmer New Year).
Current Gold Rates (February 22–23, 2026)
Prices in Cambodia are typically quoted in Cambodian Riel (KHR) but can be paid in USD.
* 24K Gold: ~KHR 657,609 per gram ($162 approx.)
* 22K Gold: ~KHR 602,808 per gram ($148 approx.)
* 18K Gold: ~KHR 493,206 per gram ($121 approx.)
Shopping Tips for Cambodia
* The Hallmarking Standard: Most traditional Cambodian gold is very high purity, often 23K or 24K (referred to locally as "merie"). For modern diamond settings, 18K is becoming the new standard in boutiques.
* AEON Malls: For international brands and fixed pricing, head to AEON Mall Sen Sok City or AEON Mall Phnom Penh. These locations often participate in mall-wide "Shopping Weekends" with an additional 5–10% cashback for certain bank cardholders (e.g., ABA or Acleda).
* Gemstones: Cambodia is famous for its Zircons and Rubies (often from Ratanakiri or Pailin). If buying high-value stones, always ask for a certificate from a reputable lab like the GIA or a local equivalent to ensure they are not synthetic.
