The Gold Boom - What Is Actually Happening?
Our founder Charlotte breaks down the gold trend and why there's never been a better time to buy gold jewellery
Why Gold is Hot Right Now
Gold has always been timeless. For centuries it has been adored for its beauty, strength, and symbolism. But right now, gold is having a moment like never before. From soaring prices to shifting consumer trends, everyone—from investors to style-conscious Gen Z—is turning to gold jewellery as both a fashion statement and a smart investment.
Gold as the Ultimate Investment Piece
One of the key reasons behind gold’s popularity today is financial. Over the past five years, gold has risen by approximately 90–95% in value, according to CBS News.
This means that something you bought in jewellery form or bullion back in 2020 might now be worth almost double — or very close to it. And despite these strong gains, there’s widespread belief among analysts that gold still has upward momentum.
Because gold does not degrade in value the way many other materials do, it’s become one of the most reliable investment options. Leather, fabric, even some metals can tarnish, stretch, or degrade; gold, if cared for, remains solid — literally and metaphorically.
Wearing investment: That’s the emerging idea. Rather than hiding wealth in bars or vaults, more people are choosing gold jewellery that can be worn, enjoyed, and still holds value — or appreciate — over time.

From “It Bags” to “It Chains”
We see growing evidence that Generation Z is driving a shift in how luxury and style are viewed. Instead of “It bags” or big designer handbags, Gen Z prefers pieces that have lasting value, both financially and in style — and gold jewellery fits that bill beautifully.
Why gold over other trendy materials? Because gold is more than decoration: it's durable, lasting, and with recognized value globally. Even if the design or style doesn’t feel fresh decades later, the gold itself retains value — you can sell it, melt it, rework it. You can’t really do that with the color or handles or shape of a handbag without heavily impacting its value.

A Legacy That Shines Across Generations
Another reason gold remains irresistible is its timeless role as an heirloom. Gold jewellery isn’t just an accessory—it’s a treasure that can be passed on from generation to generation. This sense of continuity resonates deeply in today’s world, where permanence feels rare.
From our perspective at The Jewellery Room, we love seeing people buying gold both for today and for tomorrow. It’s not only a symbol of style but also of security, love, and legacy.
And that’s the magic: you can wear your investment, redesign it if your taste changes, and eventually pass it on, knowing that both its sentimental and financial value endures.
What This Means for You
Now, to put this all into perspective:
- If you've been hesitating, these price rises show you didn’t necessarily miss the boat — gold is still performing strongly.
- If you’re buying gold jewellery, you’re doing more than buying something pretty; you are likely buying something that will retain or grow in real value.
- Design matters, style evolves, but gold gives you flexibility: redesign, restyle, resell — the core material preserves value.
Gold may be having a moment right now, but it never truly goes out of style. Investing in a piece of gold jewellery is just as strategic as it is stylish - because trends come and go, but gold is forever.
