Magnificent Possessions Caught in a TIME WARP!!!
Today’s women love the glamour of Hollywood as much as the women back in the 40’s and 50’s. Jewelry was glamorous and feminine and, because of the war years, most of the jewelry at that time was gold plated. Today, however, gold is very available and even with prices reaching over $1,000 per ounce in October 2009, gold jewelry by the troy ounce quite expensive but investors will find Gold Jewelery and Watches s still very competitively priced because of competitive re-sale market conditions and internet market competition.
Vintage jewelry continues to demand “gold” prices even though the settings are gold plated or filled and the gemstones, in most cases, paste or colored glass with some of the finer costume pieces showcasing semi-precious gemstones. Here we are fifty plus years later with natural and simulated gemstone jewelry continuing to touch the hearts of collectors whether it be American or Mexican designs.
My point is quite simple. With vintage sterling silver and designer costume jewelry continuing to be rather pricey, why not diversify and invest in the REAL THING! Being an old fashion girl, just give me gold, diamonds, rubies and leave the paste jewelry to others. To quote a very famous and outrageous Hollywood siren and comedic actress, Mae West, "Too much of a good thing is wonderful." Ditto!
