A Legacy in Gold: Wah Chan Celebrates 70 Years of Timeless Elegance
Wah Chan, one of Malaysia’s most established jewellers, proudly marks its 70th anniversary, celebrating seven decades of craftsmanship, trust, and cherished connections with Malaysians. Since its founding in 1955, the brand has grown from a single shop in Pekan to over 50 outlets nationwide, offering personalised services that range from custom design to gold investment and lifetime care. This milestone not only honours Wah Chan’s journey but also pays tribute to the countless memories its jewellery has helped create across generations.
The Wah Chan story began with a husband-and-wife team, Mr. Koh Kui Wah and Mrs. Lai Swee Chan, whose shared passion for jewellery craftsmanship and entrepreneurship laid the foundation for the brand. From its humble beginnings as a small goldsmith shop, Wah Chan steadily evolved into a trusted household name with their extensive collection of jewellery ranging from gold to diamonds. Over the decades, its offerings expanded beyond traditional yellow gold to include an extensive collection of diamond, jade, and gemstone jewellery, pieces that have become part of life’s most meaningful moments, from proposals and weddings to anniversaries and family celebrations.
At the heart of Wah Chan’s success is its endearing love and commitment to quality and artistry, where each collection reflects a balance of tradition and modern elegance. Designed to suit every generation and occasion, each piece has a dedicated team of artisans, gemologists, and designers blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary innovation, ensuring that every creation embodies both timeless beauty and lasting value.
“For seventy years, Wah Chan has been more than a jeweller – we have been a part of people’s most memorable moments,” said Amanda Koo, Director of Wah Chan Jewellery. “Jewellery is not just adornment – it is love, legacy, and self-expression. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, marking a momentous event, or even serving as an investment, our curated pieces have been part of the journey with our customers. This milestone is not just ours; it belongs to every customer who has chosen Wah Chan to celebrate their story. We are deeply grateful for the trust we’ve received across generations, and we remain committed to creating timeless jewellery that will continue to be part of your legacy”
