• Investing in gold is a really good proposition, as the price seems to be rising continuously. Even if you were to buy a gold bar it would only cost 22,000 GBP. But not many of us have that kind of cash to spare. So we ten d buy retail jewelry and invest in our savings that way. If you get bored you can always sell your jewelry and buy some new jewelry. Either way I consider gold to be a great investment because it is very enduring, and will stand the test of time. There will always be a demand for gold because you can turn into scrap and reuse to make other items. It is a highly liquid investment when the market allows it. When you invest 100,000 GBP into gold bars, you will join some of the very shrewd investors who will prosper regardless of how bad the economy is. You will have a lot of gold bars to play with when it comes to selling. Entering the gold market is not difficult but you do need to know something about its weight and measures before you invest.
• Firstly: Measurement
• Gold can only be measured in terms of carats.
• The measure tells you how pure the gold is - 24 carat it’s very pure.
• Secondly: Grading Purity
• In the USA and Canada the karat is used instead of carat.
• A test by an expert will tell you what the purity level is. If it’s less than 24C it has been mixed with some alloys-copper.
• Thirdly: Hallmarking
• It is the law in Europe and is known as hallmark stamp i.e. 18-carat gold is considered to be 75% pure gold in any retail jewelry. It tells the buyer the amount of pure gold in the jewelry they are buying.
