    Where do jewelers get gold?

    Major refineries like Johnson Matthey, Handy & Harmon, etc., do not sell all their refined gold as bars to banks, governments or private mints. Some of their product is sold to distributors who in turn sell it to jewelry manufacturers. This gold is usually of certified purity and in the form of smaller bars or “casting grain”. Casting grain is made from gold already alloyed into 14K, 10K, etc., and poured while molten through a sort of ceramic sieve into water. The gold instantly solidifies into little pieces about the size and shape of rice or smaller. This is usually sold in ounce bags or bigger for jewelers to melt and cast into jewelry.

    Hi! Fashion-conscious people tend to place more value on the type, style, and design of the jewelry they use. Whether for a man or a woman, jewelery is in the wardrobe of any style fanatic. So, when you are looking for jewelry, remember that it must be made of pure material, no matter if it is gold or silver, nowadays you can easily tell the purity on the jewelry label if you buy mens diamond bracelet. In addition, when you wear jewelry for a long time, you need to take care of it: you should not wear your jewelry when taking a shower, avoid too much sweat, remove jewelry while sleeping, etc.

Wondering if anyone here has insights on the current market trends, potential risks, or success stories in this area? If anyone is expert in ira investing, please share your suggestions. Thanks!
