Silver jewelry demand increasing

ByVictoria

Industrial silver demand set a record last year, but despite the increase in offtake, overall silver offtake declined by 3 percent to 1.16 billion ounces, primarily due to weak investment demand.

Silver jewelry demand grew by 3 percent to 208.7 million ounces in 2024.

The Silver Institute reported that improving exports to key Western countries also lifted silver jewelry demand.

Growth in demand for silver jewelry will likely contribute to increasing overall demand, putting further pressure on already limited silver supplies.

    Gold prices rose to a record high on Wednesday on safe-haven demand following U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats, while investors awaited minutes of the Federal Reserve’s January policy meeting.

    Spot gold surged to an all-time high of $2,946.85/oz earlier in the session and was last down 0.2% at $2,928.88 as the dollar crept higher as of 12:17 pm ET (1714 GMT).

    “We are in a state of unusual-heightened uncertainty… the catalyst is the tariffs and trade talks or threats that are going on around the world,” which is supporting the prices, said Paul Wong, market strategist at Sprott Asset Management.

    Among other metals, spot silver, used in electrical components, shed 0.7% to $32.64 an ounce, which aims to challenge a 10-year high.

    Platinum declined 2.1% to $966.65 and palladium eased 1.9% to $968.43.

    The one-of-a-kind 18-carat gold toilet was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born, in the predawn hours of September 14, 2019, a prosecutor told jurors Monday.

    The toilet has never been recovered but is believed to have been cut up and sold.

    All the defendants have pleaded not guilty.

    I thought this was interesting and thought I’d share. I’m not entirely surprised that something was stolen I am surprised that the burglars got away with the darn thing! I feel like this is actually kinda funny but hopefully justice will be served. – V.
