Mene in the Mountains

While packing for my backpacking trip last week - I knew I'd want to bring along a hat, in case it ended up being really sunny or rainy. Sadly, I didn't have to use the hat due to sun - but it was nice to have when it started to drizzle.

When debating what hat to pack on the trip - I thought it would be fun to grab my Goldmoney hat (gifted by my awesome friend @goldmatters) so I could try to take some epic, mountain shots with it!

At first, I was a little bummed by all the rain because I thought it would be hard to shoot - but then I realized the surrounding mist on the Alpine lake would probably look pretty cool. Luckily - there was another girl on the trip that didn't mind snapping photos at all. It's always fun to travel with a friend like that!

My Two Favorite Shots

Why do I Love Mene?

Okay before I jump into that... Mene and Goldmoney are owned by the same company - in case there is any confusion there!

They are a 24 karat gold and platinum investment jewelry company. Their business model is really revolutionary as they offer full transparency to their customers. I go into much more detail in the video, but here are a couple of the key reasons why I am in love with Mene.

They tell you exactly how many grams of gold is in each piece. Most jewelry companies only leave you guessing as to the true value of the piece.
They only charge a 20% or less design fee – compared to most jewelry brands that don't even tell you their design fee, but is likely upwards of 80%.
The price of the piece fluctuates with the current price of gold – so you can feel confident that you are not overpaying for your piece.
You can register your purchases on their website to track the value of your investment.
Because all of the pieces are solid 24 karat gold – they keep their value for a lifetime and will never tarnish.
You receive a certificate of authenticity with each piece.
They offer a lifetime guarantee for all of their pieces. Because you are actually purchasing precious metal, you are able to return the ring back to Mene and use that credit for a different piece if you ever want to switch things up. They only charge a 10% fee for this! This blew me away. I try to support brands that actually stand behind their products, so this had me really excited.

Some people purchase gold coins for their investment… I choose stunning gold jewelry instead.
