โ HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE CURRENT PRICE OF GOLD?
๐๐ผ for me, this question is weird to answer because gold is my job! Iโm constantly buying it!! The rising cost has not slowed my buying habits down (in regards to inventory); it forces me to buy things I think will sell. Iโm less likely to take a chance with certain pieces. Iโm more intentional and think about my purchases several times before pulling the trigger. It makes me miss the days where I could take โrisksโ on buying things bc if they didnโt sell it wasnโt such a costly mistake!
In terms of my personal collection - I definitely have cut back in that realm. Instead, Iโm going through my collection and rethinking pieces - bringing them to my jeweler to create something Iโm more likely to wear. Or selling pieces I donโt wear as often in order to buy something new (and sadly this takes selling several pieces to buy one new one).
A good example is this wildly long opal ring I had made out of an old bracelet several years ago! Itโs fun and unique, but definitely not an easily wearable ring. Iโm thinking of bringing it to my jeweler and making it into a long pendant. What do you think?!
