Indeed, as I sit here typing I realise the only jewellry I usually wear is my wedding ring (rose gold, second hand, about $30). And that's just for sentimental reasons! <BR/><BR/>Good post, thank you.Ginger Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017303460523376219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-1696700489669846542008-03-09T19:26:00.000-07:002008-03-09T19:26:00.000-07:00LW:so what you are saying is that gold is valued a...LW:<BR/><BR/>so what you are saying is that gold is valued at $1000 an ounce but you can only get $700-$800 an ounce.

An ideal woman would be one that is appreciative of a new fishing pole, a sand wedge, a great dinner, or theatre tickets.<BR/><BR/>As far a value of things go. I have a baseball card that all price guides say is worth $500 but it sells on EBAY for $75. The value of something is exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. I have an ounce of gold. Who is going to give me $1000 for it. I will sell it tonight. Give me a buyer. I thought not.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-50408477897049594382008-03-08T17:50:00.000-08:002008-03-08T17:50:00.000-08:00Even though, I am a girl, I totally agree with the...Even though, I am a girl, I totally agree with the whole jewelry thing. I only own one piece of jewelry that would net me over $25 at a pawn shop. I would much rather buy a video game or attend a sporting event than to receive flowers or jewelry.

Quality matters not in gold. It is the actual content of gold in the item, 24 Karat being pure gold. Buy a $2500 diamond ring at one jeweler and take it somewhere else to try to sell it. You might get offered $100. So how did it depreciate?myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-31972150524320073242008-03-07T11:38:00.000-08:002008-03-07T11:38:00.000-08:00hahahahaha, well done and absolutely spot on!hahahahaha, well done and absolutely spot on!limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-3697301581219918102008-03-07T10:07:00.000-08:002008-03-07T10:07:00.000-08:00wow!
