What You Need to Know About Tariffs Before Buying Jewelry

You may have heard in the news: tariffs and international supply chain issues are driving jewelry prices way up. From gold chains to diamond earrings, retailers across the country are seeing 100%–200% price hikes on pieces imported from overseas. But at Everglow Jewelry in Tampa, we’re doing things differently—and that means you save money, even during turbulent times.

Why Are Jewelry Prices Going Up?

Most big jewelry stores source their inventory from overseas manufacturers. With new tariffs imposed on imported luxury goods—including gold, diamonds, and finished jewelry—these costs are being passed directly to the consumer. In many stores, you’re now paying double or more what you would’ve a year ago for the exact same necklace or ring.

How Everglow Keeps Prices Honest

At Everglow, we design and make our jewelry right here in our Tampa store. No outsourcing. No inflated markups. By crafting our pieces in-house, we bypass the import tariffs entirely. You’re not paying for shipping delays, customs fees, or hidden vendor costs—just quality craftsmanship and beautiful, one-of-a-kind design.

Turn What You Already Have Into Something New

Another way we help you save? You can bring in your own gold, diamonds, or gemstones and let us turn them into a brand new custom piece. Whether it’s heirloom gold from grandma’s old ring or a diamond from a pendant you no longer wear, we can repurpose your materials into something modern, wearable, and totally personal.

This dramatically lowers the material cost of a custom piece—sometimes by half. And it gives new life to jewelry with sentimental value.

Custom Jewelry, Built for You (and Your Budget)

Because every piece is made to order, we can work within your style preferences and your budget. Whether you’re dreaming of a new engagement ring, a reset of your inherited gems, or a timeless gold bracelet, we’ll help you create something meaningful without the price tag shock happening at other jewelry stores.

Now Is Still a Great Time to Invest in Jewelry

Despite inflation and tariff-related price hikes, jewelry remains one of the most lasting, personal, and emotionally valuable purchases you can make. And when you work with a local jeweler like Everglow, you’re not just buying jewelry—you’re investing in craftsmanship, story, and community.
