Gold has been valued as a global currency
Gold has been valued as a global currency from thousands of year, a commodity, an investment and simply an object of beauty. While a sustained price rally, underpinned by the fact that demand consistently outstrips supply, is clearly a positive factor in this resurgence.This website provides you with the background to these reasons and describes the defining characteristics of the gold market from an investor's point of view. As financial markets developed rapidly during the 1980s and 1990s, gold receded into the background and many investors lost touch with this asset of last resort. There are many reasons why people and institutions around the world are once again investing in gold.
How Durable is My Gemstone Jewellery?
First of all a note about the hardness and therefore relative durability of gemstones. To measure hardness, the jewellery industry uses the Mohs scale. This gem-trade standard, conceived by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, measures the ability of a gem or mineral to resist abrasion damage.Diamond at 10 is the hardest whereas talc at 1 is the softest. Popular gemstones like amethyst and citrine register 7 whereas rubies and sapphires register 9. Most of us come off the beach on the first day with the 3 s’s all achieved - rings caked in sand, sea-salt and suntan lotion. Nude sunbathing, as far as silver and gold jewellery is concerned, is a must! Remember also that sand will scratch the surface of precious metals.
Pendants can take the shape of any symbol
Pendants are the best ways through which you can make a person remember that life isn't all about owning the world. Each person's life needs a big dose of joy once in a while. Wealth doesn't make people happy. They don't have to worry about putting food on the table or having a roof over their heads, but they stray from the notion of happiness. Pendants can take the shape of any symbol.Symbols that have been captured from cultures all over the world can be just what that person needs at a certain time. Since they bear within them skill and sweat of the one that makes them. The power of that symbol is what grants anyone the determination. It will to change their lives for the better. Handcrafted pieces are also the ones that have the greatest results.
