Since the beginning of this year, gold price fluctuations have been on people’s minds,

At the end of March, international gold prices once again stabilized

at $4,500 per ounce,

Gold jewelry prices have been “rising across the board,”

approaching the 1,400 yuan mark.

On social media platforms,

gold is no longer just a “favorite” of elders,

Even post-00s are getting involved.

They not only turn on the buying mode,

but some have also set their sights on “goldsmiths,”

an ancient yet textured profession.

Some even straightforwardly set up guns in their living rooms,

kicking off a hardcore “home goldsmithing” lifestyle.

Let’s follow Xiao Nong to learn more.

Goldsmithing involves melting gold, casting molds,

shaping, polishing, and other processes,

to turn gold into

rings, bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry.

Recently, on social media,

the “goldsmithing” topic has surpassed 1.3 billion views.

Making a piece of gold jewelry

generally takes between one to three hours,

including melting, casting,

shaping, polishing, and buffing,

basic gold jewelry costs

between 10 to 40 yuan per gram in labor fees,

more complex styles like intangible cultural heritage filigree or hand-engraved designs

cost from dozens to hundreds of yuan.

Compared to the high brand premiums and craftsmanship fees at jewelry stores,

goldsmithing offers better cost performance and personalization,

and can preserve emotional memories of old gold,

with the hot trend of goldsmithing,

post-00s are also exploring new career paths!

在上海豫园的一家打金店里，

“00后”金匠成为绝对主力，

年龄最大的也只有28岁。

老板说，她最看重年轻人

创新能力强、能精准把握客户需求！

据央视财经报道，

打金师的工资

基本在每月10k元左右，

技术较好的师傅，

雕刻师的工资一般在每月15,000元左右。

这样的待遇，感觉还挺香的。

相比需要高学历的文职工作，

打金更看重耐心和审美。

两个月的密集培训就能入门，

对追求“一技之长”的年轻人

极具吸引力。

如果说进店打工是“谋生”，

那么“居家打金”则是这届00后

最硬核的DIY游戏。

在小红书上，

“居家打金”相关笔记已超10k篇，

只需一套约200元的入门套装：

坩埚钳、喷火头、油泥、耐火板等，

家里的书桌瞬间变身小型熔炼厂。

电商平台售卖“打金套装”

在社交媒体上，

不少心灵手巧的网友晒出

自己的打金成果——

为妈妈定制的玫瑰花窗

金灿灿的八宝罗盘

高难度的点钻花丝葫芦

还有亲手制作的婚戒，

感觉很有意义啊！

虽然网友晒图看得人非常心动，

不过，小侬非常清楚自己的实力，

一看就会，一做就废。

求一双灵巧手的链接！

面对这股“打金潮”，

专业人士也给出了预警。

居家打金并非想象中那样“有手就行”，

其背后隐藏着不容忽视的门槛

Safety hazards: Gold has a melting point of up to 1064°C. Poor ventilation or improper operation at home can easily cause fires or burns.

Health risks: Some old gold may contain low-melting metals (like mercury). Heating can release toxic mercury vapor, which can cause respiratory poisoning.

Property loss: Beginners may accidentally leave gold residue in molds or plaster gaps, leading to unexpected losses.

It seems that goldsmithing is attractive,

but it’s important to be cautious and work within your limits.

Have you ever gone to a jewelry store to trade old gold for new jewelry?

Or even personally try hardcore home goldsmithing?
