Why "Made in the USA" Matters More Than Ever in 2025

In today's unpredictable global market, where tariffs and import duties continue to fluctuate, buying products that are made in the USA isn’t just a patriotic gesture—it’s a smart, strategic decision. At AceTex, we’ve always proudly handcrafted all our fine gold jewelry right here in New York City. Here’s why that commitment matters more than ever for you, the consumer.

1. No Surprise Import Costs or Delays

With ongoing changes to trade regulations, especially with high tariffs on imported goods from various countries, buying foreign-made jewelry can end up costing much more than the price tag suggests. Unexpected customs duties, long wait times, and shipment delays are common issues when purchasing overseas.

When you buy from a USA-based company like AceTex, you completely sidestep those headaches. No extra duties. No import taxes. No waiting weeks for customs clearance. Just quality craftsmanship, delivered on time, straight from New York.

2. Higher Standards, Greater Peace of Mind

Products made in the USA are subject to rigorous quality and labor standards. At AceTex, each piece is 100% handmade by skilled artisans who are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. This level of transparency and trust is something that’s difficult to guarantee with imported goods.

Our gold is ethically sourced, our diamonds are conflict-free or lab-grown, and every bracelet, necklace, or ring we craft meets a level of care and quality we’re proud to put our name on.

3. Supporting Local Jobs and the U.S. Economy

Buying American-made goods keeps jobs in our communities and money circulating in the U.S. economy. When you choose AceTex, you’re not just investing in a beautiful piece of jewelry—you’re helping sustain skilled craftsmanship and American small business values that have been passed down through generations.

Our roots go back to the early 1800s in the silversmith trade, and our family’s legacy includes showcasing work at the 1910 World’s Fair. That same legacy lives on in every piece we create today.

4. Faster Customization and Better Customer Service

Need a special ring size? Want your chain a bit longer? Prefer rose gold over yellow? Since everything is made locally, we can accommodate special requests with ease and speed. That’s the beauty of dealing directly with the makers—no middlemen, no miscommunication.

Plus, when you call or email us, you're speaking with a real person in our NYC office who knows the product and cares about your satisfaction.

5. Environmental Responsibility

Shipping products across oceans adds a hefty carbon footprint. Domestic manufacturing dramatically reduces that impact. Because we create everything under one roof in New York, our process is not only more efficient, it’s also more eco-conscious.
