If you have gold jewellery sitting in a drawer — a ring you no longer wear, a broken chain, or a piece inherited from a family member — September 2026 may be the best moment in recent Canadian history to find out what it's worth.
Gold is currently trading at approximately $6,129 CAD per troy ounce. So, just five years ago the same ounce of gold was worth roughly $2,300 CAD. That means a simple 18-karat gold necklace(10 grams) could now be worth over $1,000 CAD* — compared to previously, it was $500 or less.

Why Are Gold Prices So High in Canada Right Now?

Several forces have pushed gold to historic levels in 2026:

  • Global economic uncertainty — when markets become volatile, investors around the world move money into gold as a safe-haven asset
  • A weaker Canadian dollar — because gold is priced globally in US dollars, everytime the Canadian dollar falls against the US dollar, the CAD price of gold rises.
  • Central bank accumulation — countries are buying gold reserves at record rates, reducing global supply available to private buyers
  • Persistent inflation — Canadians are increasingly looking to liquid assets to preserve purchasing power
