Making an Investment in Gold Jewelry
Many look upon jewelry as a statement of art or a personal decoration that defines their appearance. For the wearer, gold can not only enhance strong emotional feelings about a person’s appearance, but it can also make a person feel beautiful, successful, indulgent, confident, and/or sexy.
Since gold has a long lasting financial value, it can support the buyer’s decision when purchasing jewelry in general, or specifically gold jewelry. This may be one of the reasons why people desire and purchase gold jewelry. 18kt, 14kt, and 10kt jewelry has long been defined and marked making it a “purchase investment opportunity”.
The key is to know if the piece of jewelry is worth purchasing for the gold value versus the design value. These are the two factors that make up a piece of jewelry. By taking the design value out of the equation, a factual decision can be made on purchasing jewelry as a gold investment.
Take a look at the cost of what you are buying. There are 4 factors:
1. Weight of Gold Jewelry
2. Price of Gold Jewelry
3. Design Allowance of Gold Jewelry
4. Price of Gold Jewelry
An example (gold only jewelry – no gemstones):
• Price of Gold Jewelry - $4000
• Weight of Gold Jewelry – 5 grams
• Price of Gold - $600/gram
• Value of Gold – 5 grams x $600/gram = $3000
• Design Allowance – (Price of Jewelry – Value of Gold) - $4000-$3000 = $1000
• Design Allowance Percentage is $1000/$5000 = 20%
Look for Gold Jewelry where Design Allowance Percentage is 20% or less for Gold Investment. If the Design Allowance Percentage is higher that 20% it will be difficult to get your money back if you sell, as styles go out of popularity.
Summary
Why not purchase gold jewelry as an investment. Gold is known for holding its value, even if the stock market is in a downturn. By looking at the facts, it becomes an easy decision to make.

Tips for Buying Gold Jewelry by Kim Gillett
The word gold can refer both to (24K) gold and gold in general. 24 carat gold is too soft to use by itself. It is usually mixed with other materials to provide durability. All authentic gold jewelry should have a carat notice on it – 14k, 16k, 18k etc.
The karat quality tells you the mixture of gold to base metal. For example, 14K jewelry contains 14 parts of gold mixed with 10 parts of base. The higher the karat, the more gold it contains.
You should see a karat quality mark on all real gold jewelry. Although not required by law, it is accepted practice. Be wary of anyone telling you that the jewelry you are purchasing is real without a carat marking. In addition, the trademark of the company should be on the marking so you know who to deal with if your jewelry doesn’t live up to it’s purported karat quality.
Solid gold means that the inside is not hollow and the item is made of gold. Rather like the chocolate rabbits at Easter, always go for solid gold!
Gold plated jewelry is different. Plating refers to the mechanical process by which an item has gold adhered to it. Eventually, the plating will wear away to the base metal. How long that takes depends upon wear, thickness of the plating and skin chemistry.
Other types of “gold jewelry” include gold-filled, gold overlay and rolled gold plate. 10 karat gold is usually bonded to a base metal in those instances. The jewelry you buy should have it noted if it’s overlayed etc and with the quality of the gold (10K, 14K etc). If it’s not disclosed fully, don’t buy the jewelry.
Gold electroplate describes jewelry that, by electrolytic process, has of a minimum of 10 karat gold deposited on a base metal. Gold electroplating will wear away more quickly than any other type of bonded material.
Costume jewelry fall into a different category. With the improvements in lab created gems including cubic zirconia, quality jewelry that mimics the look and attributes of “real jewelry” is becoming more popular. Don’t mistake the term costume jewelry for the type of jewelry you could buy at your local dollar store. Today’s costume jewelry is very high quality and near impossible for the average person to distinguish it from “real jewelry”

Kay Jewelers - We Beat Kay Jewelers! Article by Kadence Buchanon
A thing of beauty is joy forever said John Keats. Beauty attracts human like a magnetic field. Jewels have long been the most alluring ornamental force for women and even men. Kings and queens, emperors and their wives clad themselves with heavy gold. Somehow gold has always been preferred over other elements. Diamonds hold a secondary place when it comes to wedding rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Although it can't be denied that this drift is more relatable to the Asians. Europeans are inclined toward white gold and diamonds.
There was a time when people wore pure heavy gold jewelry. It was a symbol of the rich. Brooches made of gold with convoluted designs where a must on the women gowns during balls and other occasions. The use of white gold is comparatively lesser than yellow gold because it is relatively expensive.
Weighty gold earrings and necklaces plus the anklets are worn on weddings. Not only the bride is adorned with gold jewels but every woman in the wedding room has something or the other around her neck or wrists and fingers. Nothing short of gold tends to give a sense of completion.
Today's gold jewelry is it not heavy and purely original any longer. The economies of the world now face a shortage of supply of resources that embraces every single criterion. Technological changes have placed its print even on ornaments. Gold jewelry once shaped into a necklace or ring manually passed on to generations. Now the inheritors simply get those jewels remade according to the trend. A 24 carat gold set is melted and remade occasionally. That reduces its value double fold down to 13 or 12 carat only. A single gold bracelet can now give a woman two pairs of gold earrings. A conventionally smart transaction!
Gold is assorted with other metals in order to make it light weight and economical. Besides this factor plain gold jewelry has become obsolete. Necklaces and rings made out of gold are decorated and embodied with beads, pearls, emeralds and stones. Another feat of jewelers is gold platted jewelry, making gold affordable. Most gold jewelry patterns are machine made and designs repeated. What the present world is doing with gold jewelry makes a person think, all that glitters definitely isn't gold. But at least it helps self and status conscious people in showing the world, they too can afford to wear gold.
