Don't Keep Gold You Don't Love--Sell It

Recently, actress Naomi Watts told one media outlet about her favorite piece of jewelry--a gold necklace. This necklace has great sentimental value because it was a present from her partner Liev Schreiber. Schreiber and Watts have a one year old son named Alexander and the necklace she receive from Schreiber pays tribute to her role as a mother to this toddler. The gold necklace links the word "mama" as it is repeated in circle.

Surely such a precious piece of jewelry will never be thrown out, left to collect dust in a drawer or sold to a gold buyer. But we imagine that you have some pieces of jewelry at home that have suffered those first two fates when really you should exercise the third option (selling your gold). When something like gold jewelry doesn’t have the same value it once had, that doesn’t mean that it is no good to you or to anyone else.

You may have jewelry that came as a present from someone who you are no longer in a relationship with. It may have lost its sentimental value, but that doesn't mean it has no value at all. Or you may have purchased gold jewelry that you simply do not like anymore. It happens. Times and tastes do change. The price of gold has increased recently and now is a good time to sell your gold. Don't let the fear of memories keep you from opening that drawer. And please don't let pride direct you to throw away valuable gold when you could sell it to a gold buyer instead.
