We’ve got two amazing trunk show events on the calendar for September and October.  If you’ve never experienced the special feeling of being invited to one of these private, by invitation only premier VIP events, you are in for a rare treat.  These are not just your average run-of-the-mill in-store jewelry trunk shows.  These events are held at an upscale unique barn venue, with great food by Executive Chef Dan Starke, and refreshing wines/beverages…along with the jewelry designer showcasing their latest unique jewelry designs with special pricing for the evening.

 

 

Our first event this fall is featuring the amazing fashion jewelry designer…Vahan.  Vahan is back by popular demand and we featured their designs at one of our premier trunk shows last fall.  They specialize in bracelet designs which can be worn as a single bracelet or as stackables. Many of my clients purchase more than one design to stack them together on their wrists.  Earrings and pendants are part of their design line as well to complement the beautiful bracelets.  Unique, trendy and French design inspired…but made in the USA!  Click HERE for more details and to reach out for an invite.

 

 

 

The second event is with an amazing jewelry designer from India…Surbhi Pandya.  We are hosting her Midwest jewelry design launch, and I promise you'll marvel at such unique and beautifully made creations.  Her contemporary and spiritually guided designs will be intriguing and uplifting.

 

VIVAAN New York is a lasting legacy of artistic values of exquisite fine jewelry collected by an exclusive global clientele. The collections are inspired by the elements of nature and showcase rose-cut, old mine cut, raw and slice diamonds in a rich palate of vivid color combinations from natural fancy colored diamonds.

Have you ever heard of the term “God’s Money” or “Sound Money”?  Well God’s money or sound money is gold and silver! Simple as that!  Makes sense since they are natural resources created by God.  These metals are bought and sold as “bullion” and have been used as a currency in trade for goods and services for thousands of years, and historically it has maintained and increased its value protecting against inflation. Recently, gold has hit an all time high…hovering right around $2500 per ounce. 

 

Silver is still relatively low priced and affordable, but I was shocked to hear the statistics of how few Americans do not even own one ounce of silver. We are still able to buy silver for under $30 per ounce and most experts say silver is way, way undervalued and it’s poised to rise in value dramatically….even more so percentage wise than gold.  So now is the time to buy silver and gold and take possession of it. 

 

Yes, physical silver and gold is the only way to go unless you have a metals backed IRA or 401K and then it is housed in a secure storage facility.  Do your research on this too for the depository you choose must be one which “segregates” your personal gold and silver assets.  Most do not.  So, for instance, say you own 100 ounces of American Silver Eagles and put it in a facility which does not segregate your metals, when you choose to take physical possession, they can send you 100 ounces of silver, but they may or not be American Silver Eagles, nor the ones you deposited most likely.

 

To me, holding paper money is not safe.  They can just print more which is quite suspect as to what the real value of a dollar is and how it is valued based on inflation. Many experts are strongly advising to transfer your 401K’s and IRA’s into gold and silver backed accounts and based on my own research I agree.  And don’t forget to buy some metals to hold.  Remember, you are not “spending” money when you buy gold and silver.  You are just reallocating your assets from paper dollars to metals which historically have been sound investments.  Gold and silver….”God’s Sound Money” is a smart way to build and preserve your wealth!

 

I feel very comfortable investing in metals and advising others to do so. So, I’ve done my own research, listened to many experts, and am banking on the price hiking up, so to me, it’s a sound investment. But since I’m not a financial adviser, don’t take my word for it. Without exception, do your own research!  By the way, I’ve connected with some really credible bullion dealers who are trustworthy and credible, and this is where I buy my bullion.  So, if you want to know what I’m up to, just reach out, and I can make some recommendations.
