❓ HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE CURRENT PRICE OF GOLD?
👉🏼 for me, this question is weird to answer because gold is my job! I’m 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. I’m less likely to take a chance with certain pieces. I’m more intentional and think about my purchases several times before pulling the trigger. It makes me miss the days where I could take “risks” on buying things bc if they didn’t sell it wasn’t such a costly mistake!
In terms of my personal collection - I definitely have cut back in that realm. Instead, I’m going through my collection and rethinking pieces - bringing them to my jeweler to create something I’m more likely to wear. Or selling pieces I don’t 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! It’s fun and unique, but definitely not an easily wearable ring. I’m thinking of bringing it to my jeweler and making it into a long pendant. What do you think?!
