Golden Jaguar Recognised by ASEAN Records for Highest 24K Gold-Plated Jewellery Sales

Golden Jaguar Recognised by ASEAN Records for Highest 24K Gold-Plated Jewellery Sales

Golden Jaguar Jewellery has officially been recognised by ASEAN Records for achieving a historic milestone: “Highest Unit Sales of 24K Gold-Plated Accessories through Wholesale and Retail Channels by a Single Brand in a Year” — with 929,190 units sold between October 2024 and September 2025.

This achievement marks Golden Jaguar as the best-selling single jewellery brand in the ASEAN region, solidifying its leadership in the 24K gold-plated accessories market.

For Founder and Managing Director, David Cheah Wei Yep, the recognition represents more than sales success — it is a symbol of Malaysia’s growing creative and digital commerce capabilities.

“This honour is a reflection of our team’s dedication and innovation,” said Cheah at the ASEAN Records Gala Night in Kuala Lumpur.
“It marks a strong beginning as we expand beyond Malaysia into the broader Asian market. We’ve already launched operations in Thailand and plan to enter Indonesia next year.”

From Local Favourite to Regional Powerhouse

Founded over a decade ago, Golden Jaguar began as a modest jewellery retailer before evolving into Malaysia’s largest 24K gold-plated jewellery brand.

The brand’s success stems from a strong digital-first strategy.

“We’ve invested heavily in digital engagement — from targeted advertising to live-streaming. Building trust with online shoppers takes time and consistency, but today e-commerce is where the market thrives, and we’re proud to have led that transformation,” said Cheah.

Golden Jaguar currently offers over 1,000 jewellery designs, with a curated selection of 100 top-performing pieces marketed online in alignment with emerging fashion trends.

“We analyse what’s trending — from viral handbag styles to colour palettes — and design complementary jewellery to match,” explained Cheah.
“Our goal is to capture the customer’s taste while maintaining the look, feel, and quality of real gold.”


Earning Trust in the Digital Age

Selling jewellery online presents unique challenges, especially in establishing authenticity and customer confidence.
Golden Jaguar addresses this through high-quality product presentation and rigorous quality assurance.

“We ensure every detail — from photos to videos — reflects the true product. Customers make purchasing decisions based on what they see, so visuals and live demonstrations are crucial,” said Cheah.

Each piece undergoes testing to ensure its gold plating remains bright and tarnish-resistant, and the company adheres to ISO 9001 and SGS manufacturing standards to ensure quality consistency across all collections.


Designing for the Modern ASEAN Woman

Golden Jaguar’s main clientele are Malaysian women, particularly from the Malay community, who value elegant yet affordable luxury.

The brand’s growing presence in Thailand and plans for expansion across Southeast Asia reflect its cross-cultural appeal.

“We describe Golden Jaguar as ‘Youthful Luxury’ — stylish, attainable, and ideal for modern women,” said Cheah.


The Road Ahead

With operations now active in Thailand, Golden Jaguar is preparing to expand into Indonesia in 2026 through a franchise model.
While e-commerce remains at its core, the brand is also strengthening its physical retail presence by opening outlets in major shopping malls.

“We will continue strengthening our online ecosystem while scaling our offline franchise network,” Cheah said.
“Our next focus is enhancing packaging design and collaborating with lifestyle brands like Capybara to reach a wider audience.”

From its digital beginnings to regional acclaim, Golden Jaguar Jewellery exemplifies how a homegrown Malaysian brand, powered by digital strategy and creative innovation, can shine across borders — turning vision into victory.


About Golden Jaguar Jewellery

Established over a decade ago, Golden Jaguar Jewellery is Malaysia’s leading 24K gold-plated jewellery brand, renowned for its fusion of style, craftsmanship, and affordability.
