Jewellery That’s More Than Just Beautiful
In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, more Canadians are asking an important question: Can jewellery also be an investment?
The answer is yes — but only if it meets key criteria.
At Bijouterie Minted, we specialise in timeless, investment-worthy 18K gold pieces designed to last. Here are 5 things that determine whether jewellery is a smart investment.
1. High Precious Metal Content
Jewellery made of solid gold, especially 18 karats (75% purity), holds intrinsic value. Unlike gold-plated or costume pieces, 18K gold can be appraised, resold, or even melted down without losing its material worth.

2. Quality Craftsmanship
Well-made jewellery is less likely to break, tarnish, or fall apart over time. It also tends to carry a higher resale value — particularly if it’s made by a trusted Canadian brand or artisan.
Our pieces are crafted to order in Montréal by skilled goldsmiths using techniques that respect the material and elevate the result.
3. Timeless Design
Investment jewellery isn’t about trends — it’s about versatility and enduring beauty. Minimalist, elegant pieces are more likely to hold value because they can be worn across decades and passed down through generations.

4. Ethical Sourcing
More than ever, the value of an item is tied to how it was made. Ethical sourcing and sustainable practices ensure that your jewellery reflects not only financial wisdom, but also personal values.
We use only responsibly sourced 18K gold — and we’re transparent about our costs. See how we price by weight.
5. Market-Backed Pricing
Smart buyers know what they’re paying for. Investment-grade jewellery should be priced in line with current gold market rates, not inflated by luxury markups.
When jewellery is priced transparently by weight and purity, your purchase behaves more like a financial asset — one that grows in value as gold prices rise.
Bonus: Wearable Wealth
Unlike stocks or savings accounts, investment jewellery offers something extra: you can wear it.
That means emotional value. Beauty. Story. And if you ever choose to resell, it has tangible worth in the global gold market.
Conclusion: How to Know You're Buying Investment Jewellery
Before you buy, ask yourself:
- Is this piece made of solid 18K gold?
- Was it crafted with care, not mass-produced?
- Does the design transcend trends?
- Is the pricing transparent and based on weight?
- Is the sourcing responsible and traceable?
If you answered yes — you’re not just buying jewellery. You’re investing in lasting value.
