Gold prices fluctuate constantly and therefore affect the wholesale and retail costs of fine jewelry. Prior to 2003, gold hovered at around $300 per ounce, but then began a steady rise to over $1700 per ounce in 2011. This increase in the value of gold motivated many people to sell their old, broken or out-of-style jewelry.
