Record Gold Prices Drive Demand for Trusted Appraisal Services in Taiwan
The record-breaking gold prices have led to an increased demand for transparent and customer-focused appraisal services in Taiwan. With the LBMA afternoon gold price setting 53 new all-time highs in 2025, and the annual average price rising by 44% year-on-year to USD 3,431 per ounce, consumers are reassessing the value of their jewelry, luxury watches, and designer goods.

The company's customer-first approach, developed in Japan and brought to Taiwan, involves experienced staff carefully explaining how each item is evaluated and answering customers' questions with care. Customers are never pressured to sell, and every decision is respected.
