It's a psychological behavior related to fear of prices increasing more and more,\u201d Ghaly tells us. This observation aligns with data from the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gold.org\/goldhub\/research\/gold-demand-trends\/gold-demand-trends-full-year-2024\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">World Gold Council<\/a>, which reported that despite record-high gold prices in 2024, the annual value of global gold jewelry consumption reached USD 144 bn \u2014 a 9% increase from the previous year, even as physical volumes declined 11%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Egyptian market has shown resilience as well. <\/strong>According to the World Gold Council\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gold.org\/goldhub\/research\/gold-demand-trends\/gold-demand-trends-q1-2024\/jewellery\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">1Q 2024 jewelry report<\/a>, Egypt saw a 3% y-o-y increase in demand during a quarter when other Middle Eastern markets like the UAE and KSA declined by 10-12%. Both Ghaly and Abdelhamid note that their customers are more intentional with their purchases, looking for jewelry \u201cthat feels meaningful, not just defined by price,\u201d according to Ghaly. \u201cThey take more time to decide, but when they do, it's because the piece resonates with them,\u201d says Abdelhamid. She sees hesitation not as lost sales, but as part of a thoughtful process \u2014 \u201ca [chance] for discussion, rather than a deterrent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why? <\/strong>The Egyptian consumer\u2019s relationship with gold differs significantly from international buyers, shaping how price fluctuations affect purchasing behavior. \u201cGold has always carried cultural and emotional weight [in Egypt],\u201d Ghaly says. \u201cIt\u2019s worn for adornment, but it\u2019s also seen as a form of security.\u201d Egypt has a buy-and-hold culture that transcends price swings, with households typically buying gold whether prices are rising or falling, but the motivation changes, Evolve Investment Holding CEO Sameh El Torgoman <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/12\/30\/why-gold-is-still-a-structural-hedge-for-egyptian-households\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">told EnterpriseAM last December<\/a>. \u201cWhen prices rise due to inflation fears or FX stress, people rush into gold even as prices go up.

For brands like Azza Fahmy, the answer lies in doubling down on what distinguishes handcrafted, culturally-rooted jewelry from commodified metal. For Abdelhamid, it lies in what she refuses to compromise: materials, intricate production stages, and the integrity of the designs. \u201cValue has never been defined by material alone, but by
