If you’ve been keeping an eye on the news lately, you’ll know gold has been on a steady climb — hitting record highs around the world. Here in New Zealand, we’re seeing the same trend reflected in local gold prices. But what’s driving this surge, and what does it actually mean for you?
Why Gold is on the Rise?
When the world feels uncertain — whether it’s political tension, inflation, or shifts in global markets — people often turn to gold. It’s one of the oldest and most trusted ways to store value. Central banks are buying it in record amounts, currencies are changing course, and investors are seeking something tangible and enduring.
In short: when confidence in paper money wavers, gold shines!
What It Means for You
If you already own gold jewellery, its value has likely increased — not just sentimentally but financially too. For anyone thinking of investing in gold, either through a fine piece of jewellery or bullion, the current price rise signals a simple truth: gold is in demand.
That demand tends to feed itself — and when prices are rising, waiting often means paying more later.
Why Buy Gold Now?
At Vū, we’ve noticed more clients choosing to incorporate gold into bespoke designs or remodels. It’s beautiful, timeless, and increasingly valuable. The longer you wait, the higher the cost of both materials and craftsmanship may become.
Whether it’s a simple gold band, a remodel of inherited pieces, or a statement design made from locally sourced Otago gold — now is a very good time to consider creating something special.
Because when the world wobbles, gold doesn’t.
