All eyes are focused on gold prices breaking records, but one thing this precious metal hasn’t done yet is stop customers from seeking it out. Gold has been associated with luxury and prestige for centuries, and today the consumers’ love for gold jewelry continues to endure.
Today’s customer understands the intrinsic value of gold in ways that haven’t been seen since the 1980s. Recent reports that warehouse retailer Costco may be moving up to $200 million a month in gold, (not including sales of finished gold jewelry) point to the buzz from consumers about the metal’s value. Retailers may be concerned about their approach to the new reality of gold prices. Royal Chain, the industry’s authority in gold for over 46 years, has tips on how to be smart with your gold buying in today’s climate.

Going for the Gold
