Gold as Investment

Perhaps there is no woman who isn’t familiar with gold jewelry and more often than they use it as accessories and trinkets for their bodies. And not many would consider it as an investment opportunity. But gold is very valuable and it is indeed a wise invest choice for the women fine jewelries can be their investment but for men, perhaps it is better to invest in gold bullion.

Gold is a good investment since it generally doesn’t lose value, more often than not its value is even augmented. Gold is also available in many forms including the bullion, coins, jewelries and bars. Gold bullions are often shaped like bricks and gold purity from 22 to 24 karat. This type of gold seems to be the best investment since wherever you take it and whenever you want to sell it, its value stays the
same.

Another wise gold investment will be the gold coins, gold coins are just like gold bullion coins and have been fabricated from pure gold. So whether you buy bullion or coins you will generally have the same resale value. Although it is sad to note that it is not as easy to find gold coins nowadays than it was before.

So, what about jewelries, are they a worth it gold investment? Of course any gold is a wise investment but gold jewelries tend to be a little on the downside when talking about investment. Gold jewelries require a particular service in order to be fashioned as such and in this regard the gold jewelry manufacturing cost is charged to the purchaser. So instead of buying only the gold, you also tend to pay for the design and manufacture of the gold jewelry and after a while the design can go outdated and the value is again depreciated.

So if you want to use gold as an investment then your best bet will be to buy gold bullion instead of any other form of gold. Or if you are interested in investing your gold for a period of time, perhaps in time for your retirement, then perhaps you can invest in Gold IRA, or Gold Individual Retirement Account, this investment is usually kept as an insurance for your retirement.

The abovementioned ‘products’ are sound investment when it comes to gold. You can purchase gold jewelries, gold coins, gold bullions and gold IRA as an investment opportunity in gold for you. Obviously the easiest way to procure gold is to buy gold jewelry but as was mentioned there are hidden expenses that make it much more expensive with lesser ROI especially if the jewelry gets outdated. Your next option will be to buy gold bullion or gold coin as your investment.
