Find an auction, flea market, or estate sale in your area and go for the GOLD, literally. Don't waste another penny on overpriced (but actually "cheap") jewelry you may also see on the person in front of you in line at Starbucks. Get a few one-of-a-kind vintage pieces.
WHY?
- You will get more *Bang for your Buck*
- Prettier than Wall Street - but you're still investing! While everything else in our disposable society decreases in value...antiques increase!
- Pick 1905, 1925, or 1955! Pick Moroccan, Parisian, or Native American! Topaz or turquoise! The possibilities are endless. Dive into history and you will be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
A few tips:
If you're making a big investment (like my big ol' gold link bracelet) - have it appraised. You want to know what you're buying, and it will help you track the increase in value over time.
Check for engravings/stamps & then Google to be sure it's authentic (like a Weiss bangle).
Don't forget to say, "Thanks, it's vintage!" as you flip your victory roll 'do.
