And in this context, gold was gaining ground in recent times.This is because in times of crisis, it is usually stable and even rise, as happened last year from the pandemic.In this context, it is estimated that its demand grew 56% since then.
Experts say that the advantage is that gold has an international values and is not tied or at the mercy of the instability of the economy of a country, although in Argentina its price is quoted in dollars (converted to the value of the day) and thatcan make your cost fluctuate.However, whoever intends.
In Entre Ríos, more interest in the most coveted metal is noticed in an attempt that savings do not devalue, and more people are inclined to invest in 18 carat jewelry;Coins of 22, or 24 -klate bullions, which are always paid more if they have certified.
This determines prices, but the reference value taken is that of the Troy ounce, a British imperial measure that is used to quote gold and equals about 31.1 grams: it is worth around 1.$ 797.40, according to specialized sites.
Fabián, owner of a central jewelry in Paraná, confirmed to one that "there are always people who consult for gold as an investment" and said that it is a trend that strengthened.
"There are people who come to offer their gold.They usually sell their old jewels, which are the ones that have stored, which can be inherited, as a material to melt, ”he said, in reference to another way of maintaining savings, although with the particularity that the price differs from which it isPay for the ingots or coins, since the gold of jewelry is 18 karats, and the national law allows some alloy with another material, such as silver, copper or paladium.“In the rings you notice that it says 750.Pure gold is 1.000 and that 25% is the alloy that is added: that is, we have 75% pure and 25% alloy, ”he said, and explained that this makes it more accessible to buy jewelry, for example, than to acquire a small ingot.However, he observed: “The two forms of investment serve and we let customers know.To some chain, a medal or a bracelet, the jeweler can transform it into what the customer wants, or can sell that piece, which always retains a base value, which can be discounted when buying a new gold article, so youIt carries something newer and does not lose the value of what I already had, ”he said.
To sell, he recommended finding out in different jewelers, since different prices are paid.
In those cases in which they look for fine gold as an investment, he indicated that the 24 karats is used in coins or ingots of 5, 10 or 31 grams, or even a kilo: “They are achieved with a certificate.It can be saved and tomorrow the ingotite with the stamps will have that certificate, "he said, and pointed out:" It is a metal that never goes down, certain values are maintained, depending on how the ounce is varying, but it isRare to go down ".
"Carlitos pays more" is the name of a business that 35 years ago is dedicated to the sale of gold and antiques in the Entre Rican capital.About whether gold is recommended as an investment, its owner analyzed: “Without a doubt through the times it was what was used as an economic shelter.Gold has always occupied one of the first places as an investment that through times does not completely lose its value, it always recovers, unlike other goods.Suddenly one has it and for some precise effective complication at the time, whether it will join some pesos, dollars, real, depending on the country in which it sells it, and there is always someone who loves it and buys it ”.
In this regard, he said: “You want to sell it tomorrow and you sell it.It does not have that problem that the dollar now has with a small face, for example, that one leads to sell and retain an amount telling him that it is worth less, an issue that should not be so, because it is in circulation in other countries, but thatIn Argentina it happens ".
On the other hand, he referred to one: “In principle, through the times it has suffered variants, but today there is a measure of weight called ounce Troy, which is the one that is handled, and that is a piece of 31.1 grams of fine gold, which is the gold 22 or 24 karats ".Then, he added: “The one used in jewelry stores is 18, says title 750 because it has 250 impurity.People sometimes don't understand it and say they have the best, but in reality the purest is the 24 karats ”.
As for the presentations found in the fine gold market, he said: “We have in our country the Argentine peso, which is a 24 -klate gold coin of 8 grams.Then one of the coins that for my liking is the best of all is the Mexican of Gold, who has 41.6 grams of fine gold;But there is also the pound, the Chilean.All countries have a currency that identifies them.And there are the numbstands of a gram, 250 grams, and the Ligotes of one kilo.The gram of the ingotitos is about $ 70 today ”.
