How We Price Our Jewellery

Luxury shouldn’t come with guesswork or unnecessary markups.

At Bijouterie Minted, we do pricing differently. Instead of vague price tags based on branding or trends, we break our prices down by gold weight, karat, and craftsmanship. That means you pay for the real value of your piece, not a markup based on marketing.


What You’re Paying For

Every piece is made-to-order in Montreal using solid 18k gold. We don’t use plating, fillers, or mass production from overseas. Here’s how we calculate your final price:

  1. Gold Value
    We calculate the current value of gold in your piece based on:
    • The live market price of gold (updated every few minutes)
    • The purity of your piece (we use 18k, which is 75% pure gold)
    • The exact weight of your jewellery

    Example: If gold is $65/gram and your ring weighs 5g, the raw gold value is $325.

  2. Manufacturing Cost
    This covers local casting, finishing, and quality control. We work with trusted Montreal jewellers and ensure they are paid fairly for their craft.
  3. Handling & Insurance
    We include a small percentage to cover insured shipping, secure handling of precious metals, and careful fulfilment.
  4. Markup Cap
    Traditional brands often apply a 10× markup. We don’t. Our margin is capped at 30% of the gold value, which allows us to operate sustainably while keeping our pricing honest.

Why It Matters

Most luxury jewellery brands don’t disclose gold weight or explain how they price their pieces. At Bijouterie Minted, we believe you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for.

When you buy by weight instead of by brand, you're making a smarter, more informed choice. You’re choosing transparency, quality, and long-term value.
