You will find that there’s no more appropriate time than the present to sell gold jewelry. Do you want to know why? In case you have not heard, you have been hiding under a rock somewhere, or you have been too busy sulking over all of the bleak news about the economy nowadays to listen to the good news, the price of gold is on a meteoric rise as of this writing, worth well over $1,000 per ounce. That’s right, you didn’t misread: You should be selling gold jewelry now because it is worth well over $1,000 per ounce!Gold has been on a consistent rise over the last couple of decades, averaging well above 20% per annum, with the only exception being a 5.6% decline in 2008. Even in the year 2009, gold has managed to recover from the global economic crisis and climb back up again already, at a 23 percent increase from its 2008 levels!So what does this mean to you? It means that despite the cyclical boom and busts, and the rise and decline of the dot coms, the boom and bust of real estate, the decline of the stock market, and the decline of the US dollar, all have proven to be altogether volatile investments, the only stable investment vehicle during this entire time has been none other than gold.So if you have been in possession of gold for a long time, now would be a perfect time to cash in on it, if you are hard up for some money as a result of this recession that we have just been through.So where ought we be selling gold jewelry? Whom should we be selling gold jewelry to? And how can you be sure that you earn the best amount?These are all extremely important questions. There are two parts to the answer:1. You should avoid giving your gold to a retail operation, at a pawn-shop, at a jewelry exchange. Essentially any type of consumer retail shop is a terrible idea. Why is that the case? Because retail stores are in the business of buying and reselling gold. They want to obtain gold from you for the purposes of of reselling it straight away, while earning a profit in the process. They essentially gold brokerages who look to earn a commission using the old buy low to sell high strategy. So it is quit obvious, they are be faced with tight margins of profit and wouldn’t be able to offer you as much as you would like.2. You should be reselling your gold directly to a refinery of gold. Why? Because a refinery of gold is in the business of procuring gold, melting it, and redistributing the raw gold to other companies. There exists no middle man. There is no flipping gold involved. They can offer a better price for your gold since the profit margin in this particular situation is much greater. Thus it makes for a winning solution that makes happy both you and the refinery.Gold remains a stable investment, and has continued to remain so all the while that we have born witness to the boom and bust of the dot coms, the real estate bubble, the stock market crash of 2008, and the devaluation of the US dollar. So now is a better time than any to sell your gold jewelry
