LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Gold jewelry is putting up some record high prices, causing people to look for a cheaper alternative.
All the economic uncertainty from surrounding tariffs has made the stock market a roller coaster ride. That's not the case when it comes to gold, which has just hit its highest price yet.
Many people are in the middle of planning weddings right now, and unfortunately some of that gold jewelry is out of reach.
Silver is being considered a relative bargain now, although there is a downside. It requires more care than gold does because of tarnishing. Plated silver is a better option that doesn't need to be polished.
If you still prefer real gold, looking at used pieces will give you a cheaper route to go. Many jewelry shops purchase items from estate sales and sell them at discount.
