The value of old gold

By now everyone is familiar with the phenomenon that the value of gold continues to rise. But where does this evolution come from? What influences these prices? And above all, what do you do best with your gold right now?

The value of gold

Gold has had a special status for centuries. It is a symbol of luxury and beauty. But it is also a security for unpredictable times. Whether in jewelry, coins or heirlooms, gold always retains its value. Recently, that value has even increased dramatically. In this blog, we will discuss how the price of gold has developed, why there is such a steep rise and why now may be the time to have something made with your old gold.

The evolution of the gold price

The price of gold has experienced a remarkable increase in 2025. Whereas it was significantly lower at the beginning of the year, today the price stands at more than €99,000 per kilogram. That is an increase of almost 45% since January. This puts gold among the best performing investments this year, better than stocks, bonds and even crypto-currencies. Moreover, analysts expect that the price could rise even further beyond 100,000 per kilogram in the coming months!

This evolution shows that gold is not only a precious metal for jewelry, but also represents a serious financial value that continues to grow.

Why is the value of gold rising so fast?

Well, that is the result of several factors. First, the U.S. Federal Reserve plays an important role: as interest rates are lowered, it becomes more attractive to hold gold. After all, investors no longer have to compensate for lost interest rates and see gold as a stable alternative.

On top of that comes the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Because gold is traded globally in dollars, a lower dollar exchange rate makes the precious metal cheaper for international buyers, strengthening demand.

Central banks have also contributed to the price increase. In particular, countries such as China and India have significantly increased their gold reserves recently, putting additional pressure on the market. Finally, geopolitical and economic uncertainties play a crucial role. In times of instability, investors seek security, and gold remains the ultimate safe haven in this regard. All these factors combine to make the price of gold more valuable today than ever.

So quickly listed:

• Interest rate cuts in the United States
• A weaker dollar
• Central banks increase reserves
• Geopolitical and economic uncertainties

Why is now the time to have something made from your old gold?

Maybe you have old gold lying around: jewelry you no longer wear, heirlooms that are not your style or jewelry that is damaged and has been gathering dust in a drawer for years. You recognize it, because everyone has gotten something from "the boma" at one time or another. Well, now it is interesting to give these pieces a new life.

By having your old gold melted down and processed into a new piece of jewelry, you take advantage of the high financial value of gold today, making your material more precious than ever. At the same time, you preserve the emotional significance of old jewelry by transforming it into a modern, wearable design that better suits you. Moreover, by reusing, you choose sustainability: you extend the life cycle of gold without the need for new mining, which is a conscious and eco-friendly choice.

The result is a unique and personal piece of jewelry that is not only financially valuable, but also emotionally meaningful and lasting.
