5 Gold Jewelry Tips – Buyer Beware
Some of us purchase gold jewelry because – it looks excellent, our mother said so, it compliments the color of our skin, its a great possible investment, yaddy, yaddy yah. The reasons are as plentiful as the overly honest dealers who would sell you the jewellery.
Perhaps I shouldn’t skip too quickly over the “great investment theme” because it is somewhat important to know that “10 Carat gold” all the way up to “18 Carat gold” is not generally considered to be great investment material. And unfortunately the fact that your home insurance will cover it still doesn’t make it investment grade material.
If investment is your reason and you don’t want to buy gold bars or certificates, and of course you want to flaunt your investment on your skin during special occasions then go for jewellery that is at least 22-24 Carat Gold. The trick, especially in North America and England, is – where does one buy 24K Gold?
Some jewellers who don’t sell stronger than 18 Carat gold are likely to tell you that there is no such thing in jewelry since its too soft for most applications. They do have a point there however from experience I can tell you that 22 Carat Gold necklaces of 110 grams have been known to support the pull of a 50 pound child.
I first started buying gold in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It was, at one time very inexpensive there. Later I frequented the gold souks of Dubai and the other middle east commercial centers. Real 24K stuff can be purchased there.

Some of us want to claim an investment while still flaunting the bling on our skin and there is nothing wrong with that so flaunt something a little or considerably better than 18 Carat in order to claim the investment angle. Typically, the areas of the world where better than 18 Carat Gold can be purchased are parts of India,Philippines,Hong Kong and the Middle East
