Get A Designer Investment Strategy With Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Signature Gold Bar

By Emma Hutchings on January 18, 2012

French fashion designer and trendsetter Jean-Paul Gaultier has designed a one-ounce gold bar to be distributed in the U.S. by Dallas-based bullion trading company Dillon Gage Metals. The ingot provides a fashionable and luxurious way for investors to hedge against inflation and diversify holdings.

The gold bar is a collector’s item, engraved with a heart marked with Gaultier’s trademark sailor stripe. Rays radiate out from the heart and a scroll-like banner stretches across the middle, displaying the name Jean-Paul Gaultier.

The price of gold has swelled over time and it continues to rise, making bars such as this one a solid investment for the future. Gaultier’s gold bars are selling for $1,826.33, plus a $25 handling fee. They carry a 10% premium because of their unique design and limited mintage. The president of Dillon Gage Metals, Terry Hanlon, said:

Never before has a fashion icon designed a gold ingot. The Gaultier bar is a one-of-a-kind, limited-quantity collector’s piece that not only is a great investment but it will also become a a piece of history. The price of gold has risen more than fivefold in the last 10 years, outperforming almost every other investment. The Gaultier one-ounce bar is the perfect Valentines, birthday or graduation gift for someone special.
