In 2025, gold investment in Bangladesh is rising amid inflation and taka depreciation. Seen as a safe hedge, gold offers liquidity and cultural value, but high prices and fluctuating returns demand careful, long-term, diversified financial planning.

Gold jewellery has shed its dated tag, evolving into a bold, stylish, and timeless expression. Loved for tradition, investment, versatility, and modern appeal, it flatters all skin tones while alternatives keep golden fashion accessible, empowering women across generations.

Gold holds deep cultural, historical, and emotional significance in Bengal, symbolising love, tradition, and financial security. From ancient trade to modern weddings, heirloom jewellery to designer pieces, gold jewellery remains timeless, versatile, and a cherished investment across generations.

There’s something special about heirlooms. More than their actual value the worth they hold with memories and sentiments is invaluable.

The gold ornament makers' body placed budget reaction

Jewellery, especially the ones given at weddings, hold special meanings in their intricate designs. Each piece has its own story to tell. The olden ‘tikli’ (the forehead pendant that had the star and moon designs carved up in red rubies and whitish yellow ‘pukhraj’ or yellow sapphire stones) promotes prosperity, wealth, and marital bliss. The lover’s knot or ‘prem fash’ designed chain holds its meaning in the name. ‘Prem’ in Bengali is love, and ‘fash’ means a grip, so as the name suggests, it is a lover’s grip, a treasured design construed in a bangle or chain given to the beloved as a wedding-night gift.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Shafiqul Islam today advised city dwellers to leave their gold ornaments with relatives who live nearby before leaving Dhaka city during Eid.
