How Large Investors Buy Gold: From 100,000 GEL

Buying gold in bulk — 100,000 GEL and up — works by different rules. On a large ticket, what matters most is bar size, when the price is locked and how you pay. Here is how it works at Gold.ge in Tbilisi.

Spending 500 GEL and 500,000 GEL on gold are two different jobs. The premium on a 1 g bar is above 20%; on a 100 g bar it is under 4%. On a 100,000 GEL purchase, that gap is worth thousands of lari in gold. That is why large investors start with bar size, price and payment route.

01Why bar size matters most

A bar’s price has two parts: the market value of the gold inside it and the premium — the cost of minting, packaging and shipping. The bigger the bar, the smaller the premium.

02How much gold 100,000 GEL buys

With the same 100,000 GEL you would get about 253.4 g of gold in 1 g bars, or about 294.2 g in 100 g bars. The difference is 40.8 g — more than 13,000 GEL worth of gold for the same money. At 1,000,000 GEL the gap is ten times larger.

Note: this example uses prices from 31 October and is for illustration only. The real figure depends on the price at the moment you buy.

03Which bars investors pick for large amounts

• 100 g bars. The lowest premium at Gold.ge is on 100 g bars: Royal Mint Britannia, PAMP Fortuna, Valcambi, C. Hafner and Argor-Heraeus. 100,000 GEL is roughly three of them.
• 1 kg bars, on order. For seven-figure purchases, 1 kg bars are available on pre-order. Contact us for terms and timing.
• CombiBar. The Valcambi 100 × 1 g CombiBar is a single plate that snaps into 1 g pieces. It costs slightly more than a 100 g bar, but it is handy if you may want to sell in parts later or split gold between family members.
• A mix of sizes. Some investors put most of the budget into large bars and a small share into 10–20 g bars for flexibility.

For context: banks and central banks trade London Good Delivery bars, each 350–430 troy ounces (about 11–13 kg) and at least 995.0 fine. For private investors, the standard is 100 g to 1 kg bars.

04How the price is locked and how you pay

The gold price moves all the time — Gold.ge prices refresh about every 10 seconds. On a large order, even a few minutes of movement shows, so it matters when your price is fixed.

1. Paying online locks the price. When you pay for an order online, the price is fixed at that moment and later market moves no longer affect it.
2. Payment options. Bank transfer, Keepz, or Visa/Mastercard. Keepz has no commission, which makes it a convenient route for large amounts.
3. Companies can pay by invoice. A business can buy gold against an invoice and pay by bank transfer.
4. Collect in store. Gold.ge does not deliver: you pick up your gold in store — at Galleria Tbilisi (2/4 Shota Rustaveli Ave) or Radisson Blu Iveria. It is a safe hand-over, bar to hand.

Gold.ge does not sell gold on installments.

05Storing and selling later

• Keep the packaging and paperwork. Each bar shows its weight, purity, refiner and serial number; small bars come sealed in a certificate card. Intact packaging and a receipt make resale easier.
• Buyback. Gold.ge buys back only bars and coins that Gold.ge itself sold. The price is based on the live market (spot) price minus a margin. Contact the store for today’s buyback price.
• What Gold.ge does not buy. Gold.ge does not buy jewellery or gold bought elsewhere.
