In the mall, I mentioned my hope that my family would buy precious metal bracelets in the future. Since the Year of the Dragon, the trend of wearing precious metal jewelry has re-emerged; it's definitely become popular. On buses and subways, you can see many more people wearing metal jewelry than before. The price of some precious metals has started to rise rapidly, attracting a lot of attention and drawing many shoppers. However, my family member said she wanted to buy a mutton fat jade bracelet, but hasn't found a suitable one yet. She still believes that while metal has a price, beautiful jade is priceless.

Hearing this, I smiled and said, "The saying 'passing down jade, not gold' is an old adage. Some jade, if you don't have the expertise, isn't easy to resell. Precious metals are much easier to resell; many places support buyback or exchange, and the price depends on the specific market conditions. Beautiful jade, though valuable, is difficult to liquidate, while precious metals are inherently wealth and naturally have a price. If invested successfully, the profits can be substantial."

Jade, if passed down through generations without being altered, redesigned, or exchanged for money, can be kept as a memento. Gold and silver, on the other hand, may be directly exchanged or converted for money by future generations. High-quality jewelry, jade, and precious metals all have high value; the only difference lies in their liquidity.

Passing by a shop, I saw they were selling large gold jewelry pieces weighing over 100 grams each. Some were extravagant, and would probably look very luxurious if paired with an evening gown. They also had gold ornaments weighing several hundred grams; whether they were pure gold depended on the specific price. Some vendors also sold craft gold bars, which were priced higher per gram than investment gold bars.

I went to a shop wanting to see a complete gold Pixiu ornament, not the one with a perforation, but the shop didn't have any in stock, so I didn't bother looking.

That shop has a lot of jewelry. Look at the gold rings in the shop. There are large rings weighing about 20 grams with the character "福" (fortune) printed on them. They are thick and can be worn on the thumb or index finger.

My family liked the gold ring and asked about its price.

The seller said that the piece of jewelry costs close to 20,000 yuan, but if you buy it, you can get a 5% discount and have the craftsmanship fee waived, saving you several thousand yuan. Such a large ring is more suitable for a robust man. Wearing such high-end jewelry makes him seem like the boss.
