The True History of Gold

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
by Morgan Leverman

The history of gold is long and even from the beginning when gold was first discovered it has symbolized wealth and guaranteed power to whoever owned it. People have been obsessed with gold and it has destroyed some cultures and gave power to others.

It is believed that the use of gold began in the Middle East; where the first known civilizations began. Some of the oldest pieces of gold jewelry that were ever found were Egyptian jewelry found in the tomb of Queens Zer and are believed to be from the third millennium BC.

Unfortunately, over the centuries most of the Egyptian tombs were raided. However, the tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered undisturbed by archaeologists. What they found inside was amazing, it was the largest collection of gold and jewelry in the world and included a gold coffin which showed the intricate craftsmanship and gold working of that time period.

The Persian Empire use gold frequently in their artwork and as part of their religion. Persian gold work is most famous for its animal art and dates back to the 7th century A.D. When Rome began to flourish it became known as a city where talented gold artisans could be found and they created a wide variety of gold jewelry. Later on in Rome, gold was used in household items and furniture of the upper class. By the 3rd century A.D. most citizens of Rome wore necklaces that contained gold coins with the image of the Emperor on them.

Once Christianity started to spread throughout the European continent, the Europeans quit burying their dead with their jewelry. Because of this very few gold items survived from the Middle Ages except for those of royalty and from church hordes. In the Americas the skill of the Pre-Colombian cultures was highly advanced in their use of gold and this was long before the arrival of the Spanish. The Inca Indians were adept at many different types of metal work, including, filigree, granulation, pressing and hammering and inlay methods.

During this time the Spanish conquerors melted down most of the gold that they took from people and most of the remaining examples of gold from this time have come from modern excavations of gravesites. The greatest deposits of gold were in the Andes and in Colombia.

During the frontier days in the US, news of discovery of gold in a region would result in thousands of new settlers, many risking their lives to find gold. Gold rushes occurred in many Western states and the most famous occurring in California at Sutter’s Mill in 1848.

The gold standard came into effect and was meant to stabilize the global economy. The gold standard meant that a nation must limit its issued currency to the amount of gold it held in reserve. In 1821, Great Britain was the first to adopt the gold standard and in the 1870s the rest of Europe followed suit.

The gold standard system remained in effect until the end of World War I. After World War I the US was the only country still honoring the gold standard. When the Great Depression came it marked the end of the US using the standard. By the mid-20th century the US dollar had replaced gold in international trade.

Gold has had a colorful history and is still considered very valuable today. Most of the jewelry found today has some sort of gold in it. Gold jewelry seems to be a favorite of all people no matter what century they live in.

Tips About Adding Gold to Your Investment Portfolio

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
by Mark Matzkie

In times of economic crisis, some investors turn to gold as an investment hedge (a sort of financial “insurance”) to protect their investment portfolios. That makes a lot of sense today, given the current value of gold.

While this value fluctuates (as with any investment), one thing is certain – as the oldest valuable commodity, the chances of gold ever being worthless are next to none. That is why investors have traditionally turned to precious metals in times of widespread financial woe. It still shines, and it will keep on shining.

Considering the current financial climate, one might consider if it is a good time to invest in gold. Even people who have very small or nonexistent investment portfolios are considering purchasing some gold. With the price of gold high and getting higher, wouldn’t someone be crazy not to invest?

Unfortunately, there is no straight answer to that question. For some people, now is absolutely the time to buy gold. For others, it is not a good time. So how do you know if it is a good time for you to buy gold?

Do you have a lot of consumer debt (credit card balances, car loans, or similar debt)? If so, you would be better off applying any extra money you have to your debt. Are you overly concerned with the short-term performance of your investment portfolio? If so, gold might not be the commodity for you. This is because gold does not generally have a good return.

“How can that be? The gold prices are so high! If I had bought gold years ago, I could sell it for so much more now!”

True, but all those years you would have kept gold in your portfolio, you would have been paying to keep it there. No matter how you hold your gold investment, it does cost something to keep it. If you keep your gold in exchange-traded funds (ticker symbol GLD), you pay a small fee to handle the price of “storing” the gold, and you pay your broker a fee on whatever you make on your gold. If you keep your gold in a safe-deposit box, you pay for the safe-deposit box and for the insurance you would need to protect your investment. The same goes for storing the gold in your home. The very thing that makes gold so attractive (the fact that it is tangible) is the thing that makes it so risky. If someone steals it, it is gone.

As a side note, the investment options mentioned above are the best way to own gold. It is not wise to invest in gold stocks – you are really investing in the company that mines the gold, so while you get partial ownership of that company’s gold, you are still vulnerable to that company’s business practices and financial pitfalls.

Even buying gold coins, bullion, or bars is potentially risky. If you buy gold you want to make sure it is pure. Paying full price for a precious metal with fillers is a real possibility in a market that is flooded with questionable merchants pushing gold at every opportunity.

With so much to consider, one might be inclined to skip the current “gold rush.” Not so fast. For some investors, now is a great time to buy gold. If you have some extra money for investing and know how gold will affect your portfolio, gold is a great addition that will round out your portfolio and reduce fluctuations. If you are comfortable enough to put some money away for the long term, gold might be the way to go.

Additionally, if you have a reputable dealer and some place safe to store it, you could buy gold to store yourself. There is something to be said for having assets you can touch.

Where to sell your old, unused, scratched, broken, or damaged jewelry and gold.

Monday, July 6th, 2009
by Timothy Rains

Do you have a jewelry box stuffed in the bottom drawer of one of your dressers that hasnt been opened, or possibly even thought of, in years? It was put there and forgotten because none of the items are ever used anymore. So, why leave it there collecting dust and being forgotten, when the majority of what is in there has a high monetary value on the market. Seriously, if its just sitting there, not being used then why not sell it and receive some of your hard earned money back? The amazing part is when you realize how much money you might be able get for all that useless old stuff.

There are many different types of jewelry that can find a buyer. Common items such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, rings, and class rings can all find someone who is interested in purchasing them. Actually, even items along the lines of dental gold can find a seller willing to pay top dollar. Now, some may be saying But the jewelry I have in that old box is old, outdated, scratched, and even outright broken. Would anyone have any interest in such jewelry? The answer to this question is an emphatic yes. All forms of jewelry can find a market. How much can the price of the jewelry go for? This will center on the estimate you receive from a jewelry store.

So the next step, after choosing which pieces you would be willing or happy to part with, would be to take it to a local jewelry store and see how much it could be sold for. The process would include a jeweler examining the jewelry and quoting a price. Now you have options; you could shop around for a better price, or sell it to the jeweler on the spot. The decision is yours depending on how fast you want to part with it.

If you arent getting the desired price for your jewelry that you are trying to part with, the possibility of having the item refurbished may be there. This is the process of having the item cleaned and/or polished, which will increase the luster, in turn increase the value or selling price. (You may not receive as high of a bump in value if trying to sell it to the jeweler that did the refurbishing; online auction venues might be the way to go) Also, fetching a higher price for a certain piece, might alleviate some of the stress of parting with something you may have grown slightly fond of, even though you dont use it anymore.

If you are wondering whether or not to even bother with the jewelry store when the internet offers so many options to sell just about anything; remember, even though we may wish it wasnt so, selling your jewelry online without having a good idea of what its worth, may not be your best first choice. The first reason is obvious; the prices you get offered probably will be very low. Second; unfortunately there are scam artists all over, and the internet is a viable place for them. So, why deal with a possible problem when you can just as easily sell the items to a local jeweler for a price you can be assured is fair. The latter option will almost always prove to be the wise one.

Invest In Gold For Secured Future.

Monday, July 6th, 2009
by Clara Hudson

Gold is one of the most important sources to be wealthy and hence, it has higher value. In addition, the price of gold does not fluctuate as rapidly as of stocks and shares.

Gold may surely prove to be one of the most secure investments in times of financial crisis. The economy of many countries has suffered badly due to recession and hence, the gold prices tend to decline. Therefore, this may be the best time to buy gold. You may later sell gold once the market regains stability.

You may also choose to invest in gold for future benefits. There are many more benefits of investing in gold. For instance, as gold is considered as a liquid asset, thus you may easily manipulate and transfer it.

However, to make the best possible use of gold, it is essential for you to be well aware of different kinds of gold investments. There are two most preferred ways of gold investment that you may consider, which are trading the physical gold in the form of gold bullion (Gold Certificates) or spot gold trading, also known as gold GLD bars.

Due to the multiple benefits, majority of investors think that it is better to invest in gold certificates. You can trade gold freely in the gold market by investing in gold certificates or funds. Gold funds and certificates are completely insured

For investing in gold, bullion coins surely proves to be one of the best options. By selling gold bullion, you may earn cash in times of emergencies or urgency, while saving the others. By doing this, you will save some extra expenses. As these coins come in small sizes, there is no need of cutting them in more small pieces.

However, you may have an advantage if you decide to invest in gold bullion and coins rather than gold bars. Unlike the gold bars, that are valued according to their weight, gold bullion and coins are priced on the basis of both their weight as well as age.

Hence, it is important to plan for investing in gold bullion. By purchasing only one gram of gold bullion every month, you will get extremely good returns in the future.
