Gold anyone?

The price of gold is way up and fluctuates daily. Today was a bit lower than a couple of days ago, but it’s something I follow.
I had a little pouch with a few pieces of old gold jewelry that I haven’t worn in years and some broken which I didn’t even want to have repaired.
Today I called 2 shops that accept jewelry, found out the price per gram, and asked hubs (who bought me all the jewelry I have) if he would mind me getting rid of it. He didn’t care.
I made an appointment with one of the shops that offered the higher price per gram. They tested to make sure it was real, weighed it, and gave me a higher price per gram, because the price of gold went up since this morning.
The owner lives not far from us and wants to go out to dinner with us and his wife, but I will tell you now, we will split the bill. Why? Because I received a check for $10,000 US. It’s already deposited in our bank.
This is the most money I’ve ever earned since I retired!!!
We were given

@Ineeddentures If it’s heavy and solid gold, it can be a fortune! Go for it, unless it’s sentimental.
My husband, back in the day when he bought me the jewelry I got rid of, was a lot less costly. I am positive he didn’t pay anywhere close to what we got for it.

I have one really heavy ring, from the 80,s
It doesn't fit anymore
I wonder if it's worth a lot more than I paid for it
It's time to find out methinks

My mom had a huge collection of gold jewelries. Her aunt had the same. I remember each time we visited that particular aunt of hers, they would talk about jewelries and she would show my mom the ones she had at home, as most are in the bank. She had this huge jewelry boxes that contain too many gold jewelries.
She advised my mom to keep hers in the bank too but my mom said, each time she'd come home opening her collection of gold and diamond jewelries relaxes her.
What happened to those jewelries? Well, they were all taken away by the robbers who eventually killed her and my dad.

@LadyDuck It’s necessary when you move from one house to another. I gave my granddaughter baggies filled with lots of my jewelry. She tried each piece on to see how it fit, but I have never seen her wear any of it. 
. I think the younger kids are into thinner and smaller pieces.

Wow I never follow the price of gold but maybe I should. I do have some random pieces that I would like to get rid of.
Sounds like you did very well cashing in that gold you didn't want.

in India gold is thought to bring luck. Very rarely people sell gold unless any property dealings are involved

@DianneN thanks Dianne if you are wearing the gold close to your skin it has a lot of good qualities which are helpful for the skin

Wow! That's a great price. Hubby used to buy gold jewelry many, many years ago. The problem was with people that would come in with stolen jewelry; and we'd have to turn it into the Police Department. We lost a lot of money that way.

@LindaOHio He’s on Trazadone, I believe. He’s only been on it for 3 nights so far and getting more sleep than ever, but hoping it continues working. I’m soooooo sorry that it didn’t work for you.

@DianneN I've tried so many meds...Ambien, Klonopin, Trazadone, and the one you mentioned.

That;s cool, I sold some gold once. I got a much better price an hour North of here than they were offering at the jewelry store they used to have here. It pays to shop around.

They all get a cut of course. Last year, we were shopping for me at a jewelry store here, and the owner told me the price of gold was way up, hence the cost of something I was considering. We bought it, but afterwards, I sold him a ring and earrings that I was wearing at the time.

That was a great deal. Maybe I need to check some of mine.
