Luxury Doesn’t Have to Mean Overpriced
There’s a common myth in the jewellery world: that luxury is only for the ultra-wealthy. But with the right knowledge — and the right brand — you can invest in real gold jewellery without overspending.
At Bijouterie Minted, we believe in transparent pricing, ethical sourcing, and long-term value. Here’s how to make smart jewellery investments that align with your budget — and your style.
Why Buy Solid Gold Instead of Plated Pieces?
It’s tempting to choose gold-plated or vermeil pieces when you're shopping on a budget. But they don’t retain value, can wear off in months, and often aren’t designed to last.
By contrast, solid 18K gold is a durable, hypoallergenic, and value-holding material. You may spend more upfront — but you get lifetime wear and resale potential.

Understand What You’re Paying For
Most traditional jewellery brands mark up their products heavily to cover retail costs, marketing, and inflated brand image. That’s why a simple gold band can cost $2,000 — even if the gold itself is only worth $300.
We do things differently:
- Our prices are based on gold weight
- We add the live market rate
- We include only essential manufacturing + handling fees
Tips for Investing in Jewellery on a Budget
- Start small: Choose staple pieces like rings, hoops, or pendants
- Buy timeless designs: Avoid trend-chasing
- Focus on metal value: Opt for solid gold over gem-heavy pieces
- Prioritise transparency: Know the gold content and origin
What Makes Our Jewellery ‘Affordable Luxury’?
We design with intention — not excess. Our pieces are crafted in Montréal from responsibly sourced 18K gold, made to order, and designed to be worn every day.
No inflated markups. No flash sales. Just real gold you can feel good about.
