You will find that there is no more appropriate time than the present for you to be selling gold jewelry. Would you know why? Unless you haven’t heard, you’ve been lost on a desert island somewhere, or you’ve been too preoccupied with obsessing due to all of the bleak news about the economy these days to listen to the good news, the price of gold is on a rise as of this writing, valued at well over one thousand dollars per ounce. That is correct, you didn’t misread: You ought to be selling gold jewelry right now because it is valued at well over one thousand dollars per ounce!

Gold has been on a consistent rise over the last several, climbing well above twenty percent annually, the only exception being a 5.6 percent loss in 2008. Even in the 2009, gold managed to recover from the global recession and rebound already, at a 23% increase from its 2008 levels!

So what does this mean to owners of gold? It means that despite cyclical bubbles and busts, and the rise and fall of the dot coms, the rise and fall of real estate, the near-collapse of the stock market, and the devaluation of the US dollar, all have proven to be extremely risky investments, the only stable investment vehicle throughout this entire time has been gold.

So if you have been holding onto gold for some time, now would be a great time to cash in on it, if you are in need of some money due to this global economic recession that we have just been through.

So where should we be selling gold jewelry? To whom should we be selling gold jewelry to? How can we be sure that you earn the most lucrative price?

These are all very important questions. There are two parts to the answer:

1. You should avoid giving your gold to a retail shop, a pawn-shop, at a jewelry exchange. Really any type of customer-oriented retail store is a poor idea. Why? Because they are in in business for flipping gold. They desire to buy gold from you with the intention of reselling it right away, while making money during the process. They are basically gold brokers who look to earn commissions using the old “”buy low to sell high” plan. So obviously, that they are be faced with tight profit margins and would not be open to offer you as much as you would like.

2. You should be selling your gold directly to a refinery of gold. Why is this the case? Because a refinery of gold does business by obtaining gold, melting it down, and remanufacturing the raw gold to other businesses. There is no middle man. There is no flipping gold for profit. They can offer a superior price for your gold since the profit margin in this particular situation is much greater. Thus it makes for a win-win solution that satisfies both you and the refinery.

Gold remains a rock solid investment, and has continued to remain so all the while that we have witnessed the rise and fall of the dot coms, the housing bubble, the stock market crash of 2008, and the decline of the US dollar. So now is a better time than any to be selling gold jewelry
