I don't have that type of life. My jewelry, even gold, is not an investment. I'm not in the jewery business. I buy pieces to wear and enjoy and since I work for a living and like other things like vacations and clothes and nice restaurants; I won't pay today's gold prices. So, silcone filled gold and gold over silver and Bronzo work for me. I get my gold look without sinking a fortune in my jewelry box. And I get to fill up my jewelry box.
I really resent this comment. That is so not true in my case.... and for countless others. I am not a wealthy woman...and have to work for a living. But if I want to purchase jewelry I want to buy something that is real gold and will stand the test of time .... so I save my money until I have enough to purchase what I want. I do not have too many pieces of jewelry but what I have is good, solid, beautiful 14k and 18k gold pieces. And I certainly enjoy what I have. I also like vacations and clothes and nice restaurants..... but I save my money in order to afford those things so I never carry a balance in my credit cards

I must say this.... if you are going to try to sell your gold silicone filled jewelry, tell the jeweler or gold melting place first. My friend bought a bunch of gold silicone filled jewelry from QVC last year and tried to sell it. She didn't tell them it was silicone filled and they melted down her jewelry and then saw what was in it and they didn't give her a dime for it! She was upset. They told her it was not worth anything of value.

IMO - anyone who is buying jewelry retail and then selling it later , hoping to make a profit on it is in a fools paradise. The retail markup on jewelry is tremendous plus then there is the sales tax on luxury items like jewelry. I highly recommend you reconsider this and only buy what you love and intend to keep forever. For trendier jewelry - buy fashion jewelry.

Rac71, I might suggest stainless steel with 14K gold over might be a way to wear your heavier necklace too. If you clean it with a cloth and take it off every night, it keeps its gold color and its relatively inexpensive too. Last year I bought a rose gold stainless rope chain for $9 at the Liquidation Channel on one of their sales and its held up and maintained its rose color.

When my jewelry gets sold, it will mean I am dead, and I won't care what it is "worth." While I am here, my jewelry is for me to wear.
I am a silver person, so I usually buy sterling. I do like to switch it up and wear yellow and rose occasionally, but I don't want to invest big $ in pieces I wear less often, so I appreciate being able to get a few pieces in Bronzo for color variation. I can't see spending big $ on either trendy pieces or pieces that are saved for dressy occations and are rarely worn. Classic "workhorse" pieces merit spending a little more on, so that the quality holds up.

I don't buy jewelry with the intention of reselling it. I buy jewelry because I like it and I'll wear it. I've never purchased Oro Nuovo because I've really never seen a piece that moved me.
Last year I did buy 2 bronzo rings. They are identical and are thinner, wedding band type rings. I bought one in white and one in gold. IMO the gold is way too brassy looking. It doesn't look at all like real gold. Not 14k or 18k. The white looks more like platinum or stainless than it looks like white gold.
There are some people who prefer to invest in a few really good pieces of jewelry and there are some people who prefer to buy a lot of various types of jewelry, much of it costume. I fall into that category. I'm not a huge yellow gold lover so when I do buy something in gold, I won't spend a lot of money on it.
I also much prefer very bold jewelry which means I go more for costume or overlay pieces because it's what I can afford. I have some better costume pieces and I have some cheap costume pieces. I've not had any issue with any of my costume pieces turning black, stones falling out, marks being left around my neck, etc. And when I say I have cheap costume jewelry, I'm talking some of it is from DOTS, some from Forever 21, some from H & M. It does't get much cheaper. LOL

I agree. I get bored with pieces and am appalled that the QVC gold pieces cannot be resold, rendering them worthless. Shame.
