A Personal Experience of Buying 24K Gold Jewelry Online
 |
| I started scrolling throughthe pieces and they are edgy cool and current. |
(Kitco News)- I vividly remember during asummer vacation when I swapped with a best friend of the moment, my goldbracelet for a silver one. I thought a bracelet, was a bracelet - a gesture offriendship.
Only until I got home and sharedthe news, did I learn (or more like, I was scolded) -- on how in the worldcould I swap gold for silver?
Being sixteen at the time, Iclearly had no concept of spot prices or values.
Fast forward to today, afterworking years in the precious metals business, I now truly understand the valueof the metal; I could never justify spending $5,000 on a fancy-brand namebracelet which has solely $800 of gold value.
So when I heard aboutnew-concept company Mene, which offers beautiful, current pieces with pricesbased on the spot price of gold or platinum on the day - I needed to give it ago.
Mene, named after the ancientAramaic word for money (which was gold at the time) - the company is sellingwhat it calls, “investment jewelry,” - pieces made of solid, 24-karat gold andplatinum, all responsibly mined in the U.S. and Canada.
But unlike, brand names such asCartier or Tiffany& Co., which charge a high premium, Mene has broughtjewelry back to its elements and aligned prices with weight and the actualvalue of the day.
The website, Mene .com isuser-friendly, making it easy to browse, view and buy.
Here’s my personal experiencefrom the purchase to the arrival of the package.
Happy Day! The Goods HaveArrived !
