People come to my website and say 'Your jewelry is really fantastic, but it's so expensive, you must make a great profit'. My answer to this is, 'No, but you're making a great investment'.
I only sell sterling silver and 18kt gold jewelry on my site. All of it is handcrafted and not manufactured. You are going to pay more for this, because the pieces are individual, made by an artisan, and not a machine. The other factor to consider is the rising cost of precious metals, ie..silver and gold. When you buy a piece of this timeless classic, it is only going to go up in value. Historically, silver has matched gold in it's rise in value. This year, silver has been holding and has not gone up like gold, but you can bet that it will moving forward to 2010.
When I started my business in 2004, the cost of silver was $6.67/oz in US dollars. Today, it is hovering between $18.00 - $19.00/oz. You can go sell the piece that you don't wear anymore, that you purchased five years ago and actually make money off of it!!!! How's that for an investment?
Women are fickle, they buy a piece of jewelry and may not wear it anymore after a few years. So, they can take it to a silver (or gold) broker and get paid more money than they originally purchased it for!!!!! You can't do this with clothes or that cheap costume jewelry!!! Come on guys.....get out your wallets and make an investment in a fine piece of jewelry this year! Oh, and by the way, don't forget to check out my websites!
