It's a question everyone asks: "Where can I buy real gold jewelry, but for less?" A legitimate quest, often followed by a certain amount of confusion. Between incredible promotions, different carats, and multiple points of sale, it's easy to feel lost.
The truth is, the secret to paying less isn't in a discount store, but in understanding what you're actually paying for. At La Fille du Sud, our mission is to offer you 18-karat gold at the fairest price. Let us explain how.
Why is a gold jewel "expensive"? Let's deconstruct the price.
When you buy a piece of jewelry in a traditional jewelry store, the price displayed on the tag is the sum of several layers:
-
Raw Materials: The cost of 18-carat gold (750/1000), which fluctuates according to world prices. This is the fixed base.
-
The Shaping: The craftsman's work to transform raw gold into jewelry.
-
The Brand Margin: The costs related to design, marketing, and brand awareness.
-
The Distributor's Margin (the most important one!): The costs of the physical store (rent, sales staff salaries, electricity, stock), which can sometimes double the price of the jewelry.
As you will have understood: a large part of the price does not correspond to the jewelry itself, but to everything that surrounds it.
The Solution: Eliminate Intermediaries to Pay the Fair Price
To buy gold more cheaply, the most effective solution is to choose a direct sales channel. This is exactly the model we advocate.
The Advantage of the Short Supply Chain: Quality without the Excess
By buying from a site like La Fille du Sud, you cut out the middleman, which consequently reduces the final price.
What this changes for you:
-
No Distribution Margin: We don't have expensive physical stores. So you don't pay for Fifth Avenue rent or the lights of the Champs-Élysées.
-
A Transparent Price: Our price reflects the true value of the jewelry: the weight of the 18k gold and the craftsmanship.
-
The same quality, or even better: We exclusively use 18-carat gold (750 hallmark), the standard of French high jewelry, guaranteeing brilliance and durability.
