24k gold jewelry - 1 troy ounce bracelet

Just as with other forms of precious metals, such as coins, bars and rounds, investing in 24k gold jewelry makes practical sense. Jewelry made from 24k gold makes an excellent store of wealth.

It’s possible that an individual could carry more than $10,000 worth of 24k gold jewelry while traveling.
