5 Reasons Why Gold Is a Good Investment

Posted on by

Gold has been an extremely desired expensive metal for coinage, jewellery and other arts since its invention. Monetary markets have always been doubtful. But, today is the world of globalization; economic situation is much severe than ever before. This just might be a good time to avoid insecurity by investing in gold. Gold is also known as the money of last resort. It is useful because it does not only protect you against the falling demand and value dollar, but you could make a heavy profit in precious metals. Here are the best five reasons for converting your money into gold:

Limited Supply

Gold does not lose its value every day, like paper money. Gold is not exaggerated by inflation or devaluation as there is a limited natural supply of the precious metal. Many people realize it that there is no alternate for the gold. By buying gold, you can have a sense of security that if anything happens to the market prices and the worth of paper currency to falls, you would be in control of a very valuable material, whose prices are not determined by governments of various countries.

Globally Acceptable Currency

As you know that gold is a very expensive and precious metal. It is acceptable in any place of the world without any hesitation. It is an easy and comfortable investment, which is accepted as currencies all over the world.

Historical Value

No one can make gold as much as he wants because gold cannot be made by hand. It is the gift of God for the people. That is why the worth of gold has been used for over 5,000 years. Gold is a great preservative for all economies.

Economic Recession Periods

In the economic recession around the world, gold emerges as being more reliable, because the market believes that it will not fall to fluctuations in economic trends like paper currency does. Gold is measured as the greatest investment in times of crisis.

Gold As Jewellery Business

In the last two years, gold jewellery business has earned a lot of popularity as a small size business. There are a lot of women who do not do any work at home, but buy jewellery according to their choice; they get new designs and sell them on high prices. It is a means of a profitable business for women. They can use their innovative faculties and employ their hours in creation of gold jewellery, which can later be sold off.

As we have looked at gold that can be kept for investment purposes, its stunning looks and shortage have made it the perfect means of exchange. Gold is the finest metal for this purpose because of its high value, durability, portability and easy divisibility. The importance of gold, as a great store of worth and investment, is not a recent phenomenon. It has been there for many centuries. Gold was the main commodity that was used as money and was used for carrying out barter dealings.

Want to Find Some Good Jewellery Online?

It’s become so easy to select and click just a few times to find everything we need and want on the internet. But when it comes to buying jewellery online what are some key ideas to ensure you get the very best piece that you or someone special will love to own.

Start with a website you can trust. The best kind of websites are ones that have a physical address attached to them. If there is a “real” store behind it you’ll know it’s a more established and secure operation which has a bit of substance behind it. Check to see what it’s policies are on returns if there are any faults, exchanges, and how they ship your goods. Most websites have secure payment systems – but it’s good to double check this as well.

Work out what you want before you begin. Whereas walking through a shop gives you the ability to give everything a once over, to see if something catches your eye, it’s hard to do this when buying jewellery online. Have a think about what you want before you start looking. Think about the price, the type of piece, and the general style. While you may be completely swayed as you search it can help you save time and keep you focussed.

Find out if what you are looking at is what the recipient of the piece will want. If you are looking for jewellery online for a special someone you’ll want to carefully check what sort of thing they like. Just get a little conversation going and find out, or ask one of their friends. It’s a good idea to take their preferences into consideration, in order to lessen the chances of having to send the item back for exchange.

Check you know the correct size to get. If purchasing a ring, bracelet or necklace the size or length is important. It’s important to check this before you get to the ordering size – especially if you spot the perfect piece on special and there is limited stock. You can try and email or phone a sales assistant at the website to help you with this if necessary.
Shopping for jewellery online can still be fun and a special event, without all the stresses and strains of going to a busy retail jewellery shop. You can take your time, ‘favourite’ the ones you like and really enjoy the whole process, making it almost as good as the piece itself.

Body Jewellery Wearable Area

Posted on by

Don’t underestimate how important it is to make sure that you choose body jewellery which has a suitable wearable area.

Barbells are commonly used in eyebrow, tongue, cartilage and nipple piercings. The wearable area of a barbell is the length of the bar between the balls – not the length of the whole piece of jewellery. If your barbell is curved, for example for your eyebrow or PA piercing, you need to measure the space between the balls at its shortest point (the inside of the curve). A barbell shouldn’t fit so tightly that the balls press into the skin – there needs to be a bit of room for movement.

Labret studs (and their pal the monroe stud) are used in various locations of lip piercings and are often also worn in tragus piercings. The wearable area of a labret/monroe stud this is the length of the stem between the ball and the disc.

Ball Closure Rings (BCR’s) are a different kettle of fish (fish – piranha – fish! Get it!). The wearable area of a BCR is the internal diameter of the ring. Same goes for circular barbells and segment rings. The larger the gauge of the ring, the more important it is for you to get this right – otherwise you will end up with a piece of jewellery that could be a canny big bigger than you were expecting! Owch!

Some types of jewellery don’t really have an option to choose from, such as nose studs and body spirals, which are a law unto themselves and are both pretty flexible and universal in terms of their fitting.

Ear stretching jewellery divvied up into plugs/tunnels and expanders/tapers. Lets deal with plugs/tunnels first. They are pretty much the same externally, but the important bit is whether you are looking at a saddle or a flare. A saddle has a bit more flexibility in its wearable area as it doesn’t come to an abrupt halt like a flare. However, you dont want your ear to be hanging over the edge of your saddle to be too prominent! Some flares can be pretty squared off, particularly acrylic/surgical steel and screw fit styles. Either way, the true wearable area for plugs and tunnels is the measurement from the front to the back (not the gauge as many people assume). Many styles wont offer you an option, whereas some brands, such as Kaos Softwear, offer a number of wearable areas to choose from. Generally the wearable area will get smaller as the gauge increases.

Expanders/tapers offer the best flexibility of wearable area an expander goes on and on and on, so as long as your ears are ridiculously massive, they should fit pretty much any expander of the correct gauge without it flapping around too much. You can always use a couple of (or just one) o-ring so keep it in place.

I’ve probably missed some, but this covers all of the basic styles of body jewellery out there. Choose carefully!
