Why gold jewelry prices are rising in 2025

If you’ve been shopping for gold jewelry recently, you’ve probably noticed something: prices are going up. And it’s not just you—this change is happening across the globe. One of the main reasons? The price of gold itself.

Let’s take a quick look at the numbers.

Over the past year, the price of gold has risen from $2,315.11 USD/oz on June 11, 2024 to $3,322.52 USD/oz as of today, June 11, 2025. That’s a nearly 44% increase in just 12 months.

But if we zoom out, the story becomes even more compelling.

On June 11, 2015, gold was valued at $1,178.80 USD/oz. In just ten years, it’s grown to $3,322.52 USD/oz, marking an impressive 181.8% increase.

What this means for jewelry prices

Because solid gold is a globally traded commodity, its market value directly influences the cost of crafting fine jewelry. This means that when gold prices rise, jewelry prices follow. This is why you may have seen our prices—and those across the industry—gradually adjust over the past few months.

Gold jewelry as an investment

While price increases may seem like a downside at first glance, there’s another side to the story: gold jewelry is also a form of investment.

Here’s why:

• Intrinsic value: Gold has inherent worth and tends to hold or even increase in value over time.
• Wearable wealth: Unlike many assets, gold jewelry can be enjoyed daily while it quietly appreciates.
• Heirloom potential: Quality gold pieces can be passed down across generations, often becoming even more valuable.

A smart time to buy

With prices trending up, investing in real gold jewelry now could be a savvy move. You’re not just buying an accessory—you’re purchasing a timeless piece that carries lasting value.

Whether it’s a classic pair of hoops or a minimalistic everyday stud, our solid gold pieces are handcrafted with care and designed to last a lifetime—no matter how the market moves.
