With reference to my previous post on gift giving, gold and silver are both popular gift giving ideas since the Roman times. Even my mom loves to buy gold chain for baby shower and her grandson’s birthday. For her, it’s a symbol of wealth, good fortune and of course, prosperity. The value of gold is still very well regarded by jewelers and collectors all over the world. The Indians and Chinese can’t leave gold out of the picture on auspicious occasions and wedding dowry. This is because gold is simply a reflection of luxury, wealth and good fortune for generations upon generations.
