subject: You Can Sell Gold Jewelry And Still Have The Memories [print this page] Sentimentality is one of the most powerful forces that can affect a person. It creates for us attachments to items that otherwise we wouldnt normally think twice about. Trust me, I know. I have moved so often that I once whittled my possessions down to everything that could fit into a Honda Accord (and not these new spacious ones. Im talking about a 1990 model) and yet still had room for keepsakes. Sometimes we need to get over that, and the best time is when we need to sell gold jewelry.
During one of those moves I had to get back from Colorado to Connecticut, quickly, and didnt have the money. I did have some gold that had been in the family for a while and it became obvious that my only option was to sell gold jewelry in Denver so I could get back to my family. It was tough but I finally just had to tell myself Sell your gold. I did, and I started the drive home.
Obviously I had a lot of time to think during the drive, and wondered about the hesitation people had when it came time to sell gold. Think about it. Would your grandmother really want to see you poor and unhappy just because she had worn that same piece of jewelry fifty years ago? Or would she want you to sell your gold jewelry so you could have a chance to move forward in your life? Heck, there might have been times when she herself wanted to sell jewelry but couldnt because during her times there werent all the options like we have now.
Ask yourself, whats more important, the object or the person it represents? If you were to sell your gold jewelry, would that suddenly end the connection you had to that person? When you sell jewelry it doesnt erase the memories of the person you received it from. If anything, it can help to strengthen them; because as you move forward with the new opportunities afforded you financially you can feel more connected, because this person gave you the chance. You sell gold jewelry, you better your life, and when you tell the story of how you did it, you cant help but include the person you got the jewelry from.
When I got home, I was still a little unsure of how I felt about it all, and I finally (and sheepishly) admitted what I had done to pay for my trip. My parents just laughed. So you had to sell your gold. Its not like you ever wore it. And it was true. The jewelry wasnt important. The memories behind it were. So I sell gold jewelry, and I relish the memories of where it came from.
