Merry Christmas FRiends!
Decided I needed some diamonds so I would have a Christmas present to myself (and make my back feel better - diamonds do that you know - they are medicinal, yes, they are). Ordered a pendant with rows of the new chocolate diamonds and rows of regular diamonds in between the chocolate rows, and ring to match. More than half price off on both and gold, platinum, diamonds and gemstones will likely be worth more than worthless paper if TSHTF. I have a lot of gold, platinum, diamond and precious gemstones jewelry. They are large pieces.
When I married my husband, I had one ring I got in Mexico. He said that would not do, and through the years, he wanted me to have more, so I got more. Most pieces were bought to commemorate some event in our lives. Never once did I think this country would go down the drain and gold, platinum, and diamonds, etc., would be more important than a stack of paper money.
Gold price has gone out of sight the past couple of years, and all the gold jewelry I have was bought years ago when prices were much less. I have a solid gold bracelet (solid - not two pieces with nothing in between, it's a solid piece and thick and fairly wide), I had made in Hong Kong when I was there and since it's solid, I can't imagine the price that gold would be today.
Back is better, think more Amaretto would be good. Where are the envelopes of pepper seed????
Hang on to your jewelry, it could be sold for income some day.
