When it comes to adding to my precious metals collection, I limit myself to coins, rounds and bars. That said, when I shop for my wife (Valentine's Day, Anniversary, Birthday, Christmas), I DO lean towards gold or silver jewelry precisely for the precious metals content, rather than clothing, etc.

Hey there, nice to see you again! I appreciate your support :)
I think that's a nice approach as it's a lasting gift, especially with the bad quality overall on many products being offered nowadays.
It's been a big annoyance of me personally that in the past decade I've seen quality decline for about everything and even worse, the more expensive versions of items being just as unreliable in many cases. I think realizing this more and more is also one of the reasons I lean towards finding antiques that are still of high quality as they are made in a different era.
Thanks for your answer!

I typically buy (bought) from Tiffanys, but nowadays it's James Avery, a Texas jewelry chain. Unfortunately, my wife has a tendency to lose jewelry. She lost a large 14K Tiffanys floating heart pendant. She also lost a Tiffanys ring that she bought herself with winnings at a casino in Uruguay. Her excuse was that she lost weight anf the ring slipped off her finger. She has a habit of taking off her jewelry while sitting on the couch at night, and the heart pendant may have gone into the trash wrapped in a tissue :(
What a shame that she lost precious jewellery, that must have hurt :(
Better add some anti-slip to her next rings lol in case she loses more weight :)

I must admit that at some point when I was still wearing rings, this was a reason for me to stop doing it after I lose a very (dear to my heart) precious golden ring my boyfriend at the time bought me. I was a a teenager and he bought me a golden ring, even when we broke up, I wanted to hold on to it, but it got lost :(
I was a bit heartbroken because it was a precious memory.. I have a hard time of accepting these things so I would not feel comfortable at all wearing very expensive items around my neck, in my ears or on my fingers :)
Sounds like can really identify with the sense of loss. The sentimental value of the heart outweighed the dollar value, and my wife still regrets losing it.
