💛 YOUR JEWELLERY MIGHT COST A LOT MORE TO REPLACE THAN YOU THINK! 💍
Here's something that might surprise you!
Since 2014, the price of gold in New Zealand has risen by almost 400%! 📈
But that doesn't mean your jewellery has increased in value by the same amount.
Take a simple 25g 9ct yellow gold bangle, for example:
💛 2014 replacement cost: $2,675
💛 2026 replacement cost: $7,595
That's an increase of 184% in just 12 years! 😮
Gold prices, exchange rates and manufacturing costs have all changed considerably over that time.
💎 So when was the last time you checked your jewellery insurance?
If your jewellery valuations are a few years old, it might be worth having another look at them and checking that your insurance cover still reflects today's replacement costs.
It's one of those little things that's easy to overlook, especially with jewellery we've owned and treasured for years.
Just a little food for thought from Jewlz Handmade Jewellery. 💛
