There is no way to make this post look pretty‼️ Gold and Silver prices are higher than ever before…
You might have noticed that jewellery prices have gone up recently and you’re not imagining it. Gold and silver are currently at some of the highest prices we’ve ever seen, and that affects how jewellery is made and priced.
Metal Prices Today (January 21, 2026)
Gold is sitting at around £3600 per ounce
Silver is close to £70 per ounce
That’s a big jump compared to previous years, and it’s something jewellers are feeling every day.
So… Why the Big Price Jump?
A few things are happening at the same time:
Demand keeps climbing, from solar panels, electronics, and investors are looking for a safe haven, while mining supply hasn’t really kept up with the demand. Trump’s threat of terrifies is holding its grip on the metal and on top of that inflation and currency changes. Put it all together, and metal prices have climbed fast.
What This Means for Jewellery
Making Jewellery Costs More
Gold and silver are the main ingredients in what I make, so when prices rise, the cost of creating each piece goes up too.
Prices Can Change More Often
With metal prices moving around, it’s harder to keep prices exactly the same for long periods.
Smarter Design Choices
I’m always looking for thoughtful ways to use materials efficiently, without compromising on strength, beauty, or quality.
Even when prices change, my approach doesn’t and you can still expect: beautiful, well-made jewellery, fairly and transparently priced. I’m very happy to have an honest conversation with you about it, so just ask if you have any questions.
Thank you!
