The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2411 (2)

Jin Huyue asked if the author was still wearing the platinum diamond ring he bought during the Year of the Dragon in the mortal world. He replied that if the author wore a smaller gold ring on his right hand, the smaller platinum diamond ring should still be worn on the little finger of his left hand. Wearing three rings in total, including the larger gold ring on the index finger of his left hand, was also acceptable and quite fashionable.

Mo Di suggested that while the master could wear a precious metal ring in the mortal world, it would be better to exchange those three rings for a single, thick, large gold ring, weighing over ten grams. Wearing a dedicated ring would be appropriate, symbolizing single-minded devotion and exclusive ownership. Wearing a substantial gold ring would also convey wealth and status.

Fanxingkong said that Modi's suggestion was good. While it's true that a gold ring weighing a dozen grams would look luxurious and attractive in the mortal world, and a large, robust man would certainly be suited to a heavier precious metal ring, it would be better to find a design you like later. Even if it costs a few thousand more for the craftsmanship, a beautiful design with a coiled dragon or auspicious clouds would be much more attractive than the large gold ring you saw in the mall. He didn't recommend pairing it with gemstones or jade, as they might not be as fashionable in the mortal world for some time. It would be better to stick to pure gold. These years are currently the peak price period for pure gold in the mortal world, and such jewelry will convey a sense of wealth. As long as the design is delicate and beautiful, it won't appear gaudy. Even if the price of precious metals drops significantly in a few years, the price per gram of gold jewelry will still be much higher than that of investment gold bars. The price of pure gold jewelry in brand stores will likely remain relatively high, and heavier gold jewelry will still appear precious and wealthy.

I told the author that they didn't want to exchange their pure gold ring for a newer style. The pure gold ring on their right pinky finger, though small, was fine. Exchanging it would cost an extra one or two thousand yuan. They didn't plan to wear just one ring; they wanted to wear two or three. They used to wear two or three of their many silver rings, but later they started wearing gold and platinum rings exclusively, and it felt great.

The platinum ring I bought during the Year of the Dragon only cost 1,100 yuan because it was a special offer. It had 2.3 grams of platinum, and at the time, platinum was only around 300 yuan per gram, while gold jewelry was already over 600 yuan per gram. However, there might have been some discounts available when buying it. If I had used the same amount to buy gold jewelry and then bought it back when prices were higher, I could have made almost double my money, although that would have taken a year and a half. If someone had a good investment sense, they could have made a pretty good profit.

When the author was writing these words, the price of platinum had dropped by a couple hundred yuan per gram from its peak, a significant change, but it still held high value.

I don't plan to recycle that platinum diamond ring. Platinum for platinum, not for gold jewelry. I just won't wear the ring anymore. Since it has a real diamond, it can't be kept forever. Keeping it long-term is fine, haha.
