..other than your e-ring?
I was at my local jeweller's today, getting a watch battery replaced. I noticed that all the gold is gone! It's not a matter of the color--there's hardly any gold there, either white or yellow. Except in the engagement rings (and to tell the truth, I didn't check them, many of them may be palladium).
He's now selling lots and lots of Pandora and also silver jewelry.
The sales clerk said that people don't buy gold anymore enough for them to 'stock' it--they now order it in as a special order item. She said this is a direct result of the prices being so very high.
she expressed regret that she has sold her 80's gold long ago--she would like to wear it again now, as it's back in style (partly because no one could afford those heavy chains at what they would cost now, and also, wearing them says that you're still well off enough not to have had to pawn or sell!)
I was just curious, have any of you on this thread changed your buying preferences because of gold prices? Or is she wrong and do people just buy silver and Pandora because they like it more, and not because of price?
