A Note to My Valued Customers: Why Jewelry Prices Are Changing
As many of you know, each piece of jewelry I create is hand-crafted with care, time, and the highest quality materials I can source. Recently, you may have noticed an increase in the price of my work, and I want to take a moment to explain why.
The Rising Cost of Precious Metals
Gold, silver, and platinum—the foundation of most fine jewelry—have all gone up significantly in price. This is happening worldwide for a few key reasons:
Global demand is growing. Investors buy metals like gold and silver when the economy feels uncertain, which drives prices higher.
Supply costs are rising. Mining and refining precious metals has become more expensive, and supply chains are tighter.
More industries are using these metals. Silver and platinum, for example, are in high demand for electronics, cars, and renewable energy, which makes them more competitive to purchase for jewelers.
What This Means for My Jewelry
Because I use solid, high-quality materials in my work, the cost of raw metals makes up a big part of my expenses. When those prices go up, I face a choice: lower my standards or adjust my prices. I will always choose quality.
My Commitment to You
Even as costs rise, my commitment to craftsmanship, transparency, and value remains the same. When you invest in a piece of my jewelry, you’re not just buying metal and stones—you’re supporting:
Handmade artistry, created with care and intention.
Sustainable practices, including reusing and recycling metals whenever possible.
Lasting quality, pieces made to be cherished for a lifetime.
