Gold Jewelry


There are few metals that can be said to be older than gold and in fact according to historians the discovery of gold took place well before the year 3600 B.C. The lure of and the lust for gold has continued unabated since the very early days when gold was first discovered and many people, rich and poor will completely lose their heads at the prospect of owning sufficiently large amounts of gold whose yellow colored beauty dazzles everyone and this is why gold jewelry has a special place in everyone’s minds and hearts.
Earliest Users Of All Gold Jewelry
It seems like the earliest users of gold jewelry were the Egyptians and examples of such use can be seen in the many rock carving and paintings that are found all over Egypt. The Egyptians were the first to find the way for gold extraction and it’s purification to make some very useful gold jewelry. The gold jewelries were used by all the mighty Egyptian kings and queens which proves that this nation had a great tradition of using the gold.
But, gold jewelry has been used by other peoples as well and there are many references to their use in epics as well as in religious inscriptions and the Book of Genesis and also Exodus XXV too have many references to use of gold. Even Homer and Sophocles and also Herodotus and Pliny have mentioned use of gold jewelry – all of which shows that the history of gold goes back some five thousand plus years.
Gold in its natural form can be found in various kinds of places including in mountains, lakes, seas and deserts and even in the plains. Some places of course have more purified gold while others may not. However, the purest form will generally not exceed ninety-two percent purity and it is such type of gold that is used in making the finest gold jewelry.
Gold jewelry is famous for being an indicator of a person’s wealth and social standing and it also lends for making very intricate designs which means that you can expect to find some truly outstanding examples of gold jewelry that normally adorn the famous jewelers’ retail outlets whose showcases are emblazoned with the most intricately crafted items of gold jewelry.
Rose gold jewelry is typically seen in the form of engagement rings that are made out of rose gold. These rings are very attractive as they come in very unique colors.  The designs too are more intricate than is the case of other forms of gold. In fact, the right kind of such jewelry will make you think that it is an item of antique jewelry; and, not a modern creation.

Lots of expression will no longer make sense. No more "penny for your thoughts" or "saving your pennies".  Cash transactions are now rounded to the nearest nickel.  Electronic transactions continue to be processed to the penny. But what of all those billions of pennies no longer needed?  All the pennies from 1997 to 2013 are made from a zinc or steel core covered in a little bit of copper.  They have no real value except rolled and returned to any bank.  If you have $25 work, skip rolling your pennies and get a free penny bag from the Royal Bank, Scotia Bank or maybe one of the other big banks (but not BMO as they do not carry the pen
