Why we raise prices (and stay true to our essence)
It pains us to have to do it, but on 10/13 we're raising prices 😔
In this video, we explain why we were forced to raise prices this Monday, October 13 :
At Platadepalo we believe that important things are said with transparency .
We took over Platadepalo because we were committed to a different way of making jewelry: Local, handcrafted, honest , with attention to detail . Made with genuine 925 silver , by real hands and a whole lot of heart.
But this September, the price of silver has skyrocketed , in just one month .
We share the graph with you because we think the numbers speak for themselves :
The situation:
• The price of silver has reached historic levels, never seen before, not even during the 2010 financial crisis.
• For months we have been assuming this and adjusting only the annual inflation .
• But this September, the rise has accelerated dramatically . It seems that the world has already gone crazy , never before in more than 30 years have such huge increases been seen .
The alternative we don't want to take:
• Give up solid silver.
• Outsourcing production to Asia.
• Stop being faithful to what we believe.
Our decision:
• Raise prices on Monday 13/10 between €10 and €25 on average.
• Staying true to our values and who we are.
• Continue making handmade and local jewelry , with soul, without haste and with passion .
Thank you for understanding us.
Thank you for continuing to value craftsmanship in a world that is increasingly less so.

Buying at old prices would be like buying with a discount of up to 25%.
