Introduction
Gold prices change every day, but that doesn't mean the price of jewellery changes at the same rate. If you're planning to buy a gold necklace, pendant, earrings or investment gold, it's important to understand what affects the price and how to know you're getting genuine value.
Why does the gold price change?
The price of gold is influenced by:
- Global supply and demand
- Inflation
- Interest rates
- Currency exchange rates
- World events and economic uncertainty
Because of this, the gold price can rise or fall daily.
Why does jewellery cost more than the gold price?
Many people search for the daily gold price and wonder why jewellery costs more.
The final price of a piece of jewellery also includes:
- Craftsmanship
- Hallmarking and testing
- Manufacturing
- Shipping and insurance
- VAT and business costs
When buying jewellery, you're paying for both the gold and the skilled work that transforms it into a beautiful piece.
