Is Gold still high?

Squirrel Lover — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 23:11:13 GMT

I don't follow the market so I was just curious because gold jewelry on QVC is still very expensive. They added a lot of new gold and gold and gemstone pieces and they are quite expensive.

I feel as though I will never be able to get gold at a reasonable price.

I bought all my 18K gold pieces for $18/gram and I thought that was high at the time, I believe 14K was around $12/gram. Wish I stock piled more.

Yes, gold price are high.

Gold has been fairly steady at around $1200 an ounce for a while, but it's also becoming more scarce as countries like Russia and China are buying it by the ton. It's not likely to go down anytime soon and never back to the days on Q of gold jewelry galore at good prices and good quality

I do remember being able to buy gold chains just about anywhere. I even remember seeing landroms (I think thats the brand) black hills gold everywhere. Then it seems like over night gold went up and you pay over the top prices for just a chain. I do love yellow gold but not enough to pay what it costs now.

Great time to purchase, not great time to sell what you have for cash!

Yes the price of gold is still high.

My personal view is that gold and silver prices are greatly affected by the stock market and the economy in general. During the recession stocks tanked and gold started going up. Now the stock market is high and people are more confident in it. The only reason gold hasn't slumped more from the highs is there is more demand from emerging economies likes China and India. Just my two cents worth.

Not sure why you don't follow the markets, but it's easy enough to google current prices, or anything else you want to know.

Metals, stocks, real estate ..... prices fluctuate. When prices drop a lot of people still don't buy .... due to fear ..... or reluctance because they think maybe the prices will go down more and their purchase price will have been "too high".

Some people think if you want something, buy it, even if you buy less than originally hoped for. People buy gold jewelry because they love it, not because they think they're going to make a killing in the market at some point in the future. (At least I hope they aren't thinking that!)

I've no idea what you are thinking today is a "reasonable price", but if you knew for sure that gold would $500 an ounce higher a year from now, would you consider today's price to be "reasonable"?

There are places to purchase gold jewelry at wholesale prices. Depending where you live, you could buy a ticket to NY, shop for jewelry on 47th street (famous for discounted diamonds and all jewelry) and still not pay as much as retail jewelry prices. Jewelry store prices are marked up at least 200%. That's the norm. Some may mark up more. QVC is marked up also.

@Shanus You can't buy wholesale gold from a store front as an average joe. Jewelers might be able to, but someone like me won't find a wholesale bargain for gold in the Diamond District of NYC. Furthermore, gold is likely not what drives their business. Diamonds and other fine gems are.

I doubt gold will ever go down a great deal. It might go down a little causing that very rare metal platinum to go ahead of it. But gold is worth so much more then paper money (because of the debt and forever rise in cost) So hold on to your gold.

QVC & other place like JTV get around it by subsituting gold and diamonds with silver and Zircons. For fine jewelry (precious gems, diamonds & better then 14K) will continue to cost a forturne to produce & sell.

Years ago my friends father would go to NYC to the Diamond and Gold Exchange and buy the girls beautiful gold and gem stone bracelets at a deeply discounted price. I don't know if that applies today.
