She said-- the studed jewellery(in your case hyderabadi choker set) will be worn occasionally, only in marriages, plus the resale value is significantly less, around 40% less then plain gold whereas gold can b worn everyday and also for a variety of functions and in various forms too, and if you buy gold from a trusted jeweller, then u can resell it to the same jeweller at the current gold rate with no rebate in the percentage-and gold rate is forever climbing, so you end up with more(cash) then you spent earlier.. this is the investment strategy…and it makes sense if you have just begun to buy jewellery.

My friend advised me to accumalate a sizable chunk of plain gold jewellery first, more as an investment to fall back on, and buy studded jewellery in silver or 18ct gold to satisfy the urge of beauty and intricacy later,when the gold stash is done I can indulge in the gold studed pieces.

I’ve thought about it and it seemed like a decent enough plan, and I was convinced when I found some very contemporary pieces in plain gold at many jewellery show-rooms, obviously there is a supply only when there is a demand and on enquiring I was told that they have many young customers who prefer buying plain gold and want contemporary,unique, quirky designs.I felt glad that I was not alone :).

Hope this helps you in sorting out your priorities.

Can you suggest any show rooms that have some unique designs? I love the idea, I think I am gonna go with it. Thanks!
