You will find that there is no better time than the present for you to be selling gold jewelry. Would you know why? Unless you have not heard the news, you’ve been lost on a desert island somewhere, or you’ve been preoccupied getting depressed due to all of the bleak news in the economy nowadays to pay attention to the good news, the price of gold is on a meteoric rise as of this writing, valued at well above one thousand dollars per ounce. That’s right, you read correctly: You ought to be selling gold jewelry now because it is valued at well over one thousand dollars per ounce!Gold has been constantly rising over the past decade, hovering well above 20 percent per annum, with the sole exception being a five percent decline in 2008. Even in the 2009, gold has managed to recover from the global economic meltdown and climb back up again already, at a 23% increase from its 2008 levels!So what does that mean? It means that despite the cyclical bubbles and busts, and the rise and fall of the dot coms, the boom and bust of real estate, the near-collapse of the stock market, and the devaluation of the US dollar, have all proven to be altogether risky investments, the only stable investment vehicle during this entire time has been none other than gold.So if you have been in possession of gold for a long time, now would be a perfect time to sell it, if you are hard up for some cash as a result of this global economic recession that we have all just been through.So where should you be selling gold jewelry? Whom should you be selling gold jewelry to? And how can you be sure that you get the highest amount?These are all extremely good questions. The answer is two-fold:1. You should avoid selling gold jewelry to a retail shop, a pawn-shop, or a jewelry exchange. Realistically any type of consumer retail operation is a poor idea. Why is this the case? This is because they are in in business for flipping gold. They want to buy gold from you for the purpose of of reselling it straight away, and earning a profit in the process. They essentially gold brokerages and look to earn commissions using the classic buy low to sell high plan. So obviously, they would be be up against narrow margins of profit and wouldn’t be open to offer you the price that you would be happy with.2. You should be reselling your gold to a refinery of gold. Why? Because a refinery of gold is in the business of acquiring gold, melting it down, and redistributing the gold raw material to other businesses. There exists no middle man. There is no flipping gold for profit. They can offer you a much better price for your gold since the profit margin in this particular situation is wider. Therefore it creates a winning solution that satisfies both the refinery and you.Gold is a rock solid investment vehicle, and has remained so while we have seen the boom and bust of the dot coms, the housing bubble, the stock market crash of 2008, and the decline of the dollar. So now is a better time than any to sell your gold jewelry
