How Will Brexit Affect Gold Investments in PA?

June 29, 2016 Doylestown Gold Exchange Leave a comment

Will Brexit affect gold investments in PA? Voters in the United Kingdom made history June 23 by voting to leave the European Union.

The “Brexit” referendum – as it’s come to be known – could have major implications for the economy in both Great Britain and around the world.

The days following the vote have already seen an equity sell-off that erased $3 trillion in stock market value, considered the worst two-day paper loss in history. Some experts worry the vote will lead to even greater calamity, using words like “stagflation” and “recession.”

So how will Brexit affect gold investments in PA? It depends on who you ask.

A Quick Guide to Diamond Cuts

June 15, 2016 Doylestown Gold Exchange Leave a comment

The world of diamonds is governed by “the four Cs.”

There’s color, which actually refers to the lack of color a stone has. One with no color is considered top quality, while a “brown” or “yellow” diamond is a lower standard diamond.

There’s carat, which is the weight of the diamond, and clarity, which refers to the presence or absence of inclusions – or flaws – in the stone.

And finally there’s cut, or the craftsmanship of a diamond: how the facets cooperate with light, the diamond’s overall finish and its proportions and symmetry.

Tips for Choosing a Men’s Wedding Band

June 2, 2016 Doylestown Gold Exchange Leave a comment

Back in your father’s day, the idea of spending a significant amount of time choosing a wedding band barely existed. Unlike the women’s engagement ring and wedding band industry, which has seemingly always been overflowing with a wealth of choices, men’s wedding bands have historically been fairly simple affairs: white gold, yellow gold, or silver. Maybe a simple pattern. And for the especially flashy, perhaps a small diamond or two.

But times have most certainly changed. While men still might not have as many wedding band choices as women, the possibilities today are more plentiful than they were even 20 years ago. There are both precious metals and alternative metals to choose from, not to mention the various designs and levels of quality that each metal offers.

Why You Should Consider Precious Metal Investments

May 15, 2016 Doylestown Gold Exchange Leave a comment

Doylestown Gold Exchange owner Greg Glemser can remember a time when investing in precious metals just wasn’t something people did.

“You used to seem a little crazy to put your money into silver or gold,” he says.

Now, it’s a way to diversify your portfolio, and one of the key pieces of Doylestown Gold Exchange’s business.

And these days, more and more people are looking to invest in gold and silver. The price of both metals has gone up significantly in recent weeks. Gold has gone from $1000 an ounce to more than $1200 an ounce, while silver’s price has jumped from $13 an ounce to $17 an ounce.

Reputation matters. When you look for someone to fix your car, put a new roof on your house or represent you in court, you’d base your decision on whether that person had a reputation for providing trustworthy, quality service.
