In March and April of the Year of the Horse, the price per gram of gold jewelry indeed dropped by several hundred yuan from its peak.

The premonition of family members and many others was correct when this happened. The price of gold jewelry dropped to over 1,300 yuan per gram, but then rebounded; it didn't keep falling.

For a period of time, the price per gram of gold jewelry frequently fluctuated, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, appearing unpredictable. Many brand-name stores haven't reduced their craftsmanship fees for gold jewelry; they remain expensive.

According to online posts, due to the pullback in gold prices, some customers who bought fixed-price items are finding it difficult to return them. Some shop assistants say that the price of gold jewelry will rise to two or three thousand yuan in the future, making it very valuable and reassuring consumers not to worry. However, they claim it's impossible to predict the actual buyback price. Buying those high-priced items might not yield much profit even after many years.

When we arrived at a shop, the shop was small, probably one of the smallest gold shops in the mall. At that time, there was only one employee on duty.

After I stated what I wanted, the saleswoman found a small gold Pixiu pendant that could be hung on a bracelet; it wasn't a perforated design. There was a tiny gold ring in front of the very small Pixiu's ingot-like shape, which was used to thread it onto the bracelet, while the tiny Pixiu itself was whole. Looking at the other gold Pixiu items the saleswoman showed me, they all had perforations, and there were several styles to choose from. Many stores carry those bracelet styles, which look similar.

After seeing the item, my family thought it was quite unique and suggested buying it. However, I felt the accessory was too small, and the seller said the store didn't offer any discounts—just the price listed on the tag, maybe a few tens of yuan off at most. The store's fixed-price items weren't supposed to have any discounts.

I didn't buy anything. It was already time to check in for the movie, so I went to the escalator to go upstairs to watch the movie. I couldn't be late.

While walking, my family suggested we buy some small items, around 800 or 900 yuan, as New Year's gifts for the children, with the family paying for them. At foreign airports, some luxury perfumes cost 1000 yuan, so items around 1000 or 1800 yuan are fine. Pure gold jewelry will have value; if you don't buy something worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, then buying something in the 1000-1800 yuan range is acceptable.

I said that for that price, you could buy a silver bracelet weighing several tens of grams. Looking at the vast selection on online shopping platforms, a 50-60 gram pure silver bracelet back then only cost a little over 800 yuan. The price wasn't high, and with promotional offers, you could even get a discount. I need to think about it and see what kind of product would be more suitable for me.
