Designer jewelry

[Anonymous]

No one is suggesting that jewelry is a way to invest or make money. What OP was saying is that her jewelry she had over the years from her ex was worth basically nothing and had she received more “big brand” pieces, she would have gotten more $ back from selling them vs no name jewelry, even if it’s nicer.

Except that usually when people buy things that are less well known, they're usually also cheaper. Let's not kid ourselves.
And if you have jewelry in your possession that's worth multiple thousands of dollars and yet you have trouble making ends meet after your divorce, such that you'd want to sell it... you've been doing it wrong.

AND WHAT ABOUT INFLATION?

God you're so stupid.

You are calling others stupid, yet you can’t even manage to grasp the OP’s point. You epitomize stupid, with every hysterical post.

In many cultures, jewelry is used as an investment and pass down generational wealth. The idea is that if the woman encounters financial troubles, she can sell the jewelry.

Problem is, designer fine jewelry is overpriced relative to the value of the metal. Even with lower cost fine jewelry, a lot of the purchase price goes toward labor and other costs.

As an investment, buy gold bullion or invest in gold funds.
