Gold vs Dollar: Which will dominate the market?

Gold and crude oil have become the hottest commodities in the wake of the global financial crisis brought about by the plunging US economy and collapse of investment banking giants like Lehman Brothers.

Gold and crude oil along with dollar have been dominating the financial news all these days. But which commodity will dominate the global markets?

It is like that that gold will dominate the global markets thanks to the great financial bubbles that the US getting into. Now days the market has shown some volatile signals that when gold is up, the dollar goes down and vice versa. Amid all these, crude oil got modest momentum as it traded higher at major global markets this week.

However because of the volatility in the market, gold dipped below $ 900 an ounce on Tuesday after early buying which propelled the price to a seven-week high; but gold soon lost steam. Now, uncertainties over the US government’s bailout plan may offer support to gold.

Economic analysts express doubts over the strength of dollar as US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s TARP - troubled asset relief program - boosted investment confidence across the world, inspiring some of the biggest one day rises in stocks and equity indices.

They point out that the plan would affect the dollar adversely as it is the biggest currency in the world; it may be difficult for dollar to retain its status as one of the most important currencies in the world now.

|Markets are questioning the potential volume of new US government debt, and the very rapid expansion of the balance sheet at the US central bank, the Federal Reserve. As dollar index hit a low point on 15 July, oil posted its record level of just under $150 a barrel, and gold, which has an especially intimate inverse correlation with the dollar, hit an intermediate peak of $ 977.50 an ounce, close to its March records.

Gold was trading at $895,00 an ounce, down $5,20 an ounce or 0,6 percent from New York’s notional close on Monday, having hit an intraday high of $908,80 an ounce -- its highest level since early August.

However, speculators are taking a bearish view on dollar. That turned gold price from its intermediate low of $ 746.47 an ounce on 11 September, to levels now approaching $900 an ounce.

The Best Money (Gold)

Gold is the best money, because for centuries, as a result of countless individual choices, it has evolved as such. It was not imposed on the market by force, but was cultivated in the soil of the market itself. It grew naturally in the open air of voluntary exchange, not in a cloistered greenhouse of government fiat. When governments said they supported a strong dollar, it meant that they would not attempt to undermine the gold backing that the market chose. Today, those words have little meaning.

Though the old classical gold standard was not perfect, it was, in Rothbard’s words "by far the best monetary order the world has ever known, an order which worked, which kept business cycles from getting out of hand, and which enabled the development of free international trade, exchange and investment."

There is not much more one can ask from a currency.

World Ranking About Gold

The USGS estimate of world gold reserves of 42,000 t was similar to 2006 According to the USGS, South Africa still has the world's largest reserve of gold at 6000 t (14.3%), similar to 2006. According to the USGS Australia has the second largest reserve with approximately 12% of the world's holdings.

World mine production in 2007 fell slightly to 2,476 t. A major change in world rankings occurred in 2007 as China replaced South Africa as the world's leading gold producer. China produced about 281 t in 2007, followed by South Africa with 270 t and Australia with 246 t.

Diamond

Diamond is composed of carbon and is the hardest known natural substance although it can be shattered with a sharp blow. It also has the highest thermal conductivity of any known material at room temperature. Diamonds form 150-200 km below the Earth's surface at high temperatures (1,050°C-1,200°C) and pressures (45-55 kilobars). They are carried to the surface within kimberlite and lamproites which intrude through the earth's crust. These intrusions form narrow cylindrical bodies called pipes and only a very small proportion have significant diamond content. When pipes are eroded liberated diamonds can accumulate in alluvial deposits and may be found far from their source as their hardness allows them to survive multiple episodes of erosion and deposition. The quality of diamonds is subdivided into gem, near gem and industrial categories. In rare cases up to 90% of diamonds in a deposit are of gem quality, but most economic deposits contain 20% to 40% gem quality diamonds. Current uses for diamond include jewellery, mining and exploration, stone cutting and polishing, computer chip manufacture, machinery manufacture, construction and transportation services. A large proportion of industrial diamond is manufactured and it is possible to produce synthetic diamonds of gem quality

General About Gold

Gold has a very special place in human history. It has been treasured since ancient times and was the first metal used by humans, with simple gold ornaments among the earliest known metal objects. In early times, alchemists would spend their entire lives trying to turn other metals into precious gold! Gold has changed where and how people live. Many towns have been developed by the wealth from mining gold. There are also many 'ghost towns' - when the gold supply ran out, people simply deserted the area.

Gold has also featured in many myths and legends. King Midas, King Soloman, and Jason and the Argonauts were all legendary gold seekers! Even fairytales often mention golden objects such as eggs or harps, and most people have heard of the golden pot at the end of the rainbow. Even today, achievements are rewarded by gold medals, and we associate the word gold with greatness - as in 'golden rules' or 'good as gold'. Gold has always been, and still is, a very important metal. Its rarity and unique properties make it one of the most prized and useful metals.

Gold Statistics and Information

Gold has been treasured since ancient times for its beauty and permanence. Most of the gold that is fabricated today goes into the manufacture of jewelry. However, because of its superior electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion and other desirable combinations of physical and chemical properties, gold also emerged in the late 20th century as an essential industrial metal. Gold performs critical functions in computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines, and a host of other products. Although gold is important to industry and the arts, it also retains a unique status among all commodities as a long-term store of value. Until recent times, it was considered essentially a monetary metal, and most of the bullion produced each year went into the vaults of government treasuries or central banks.

whits and Rose Gold

White Gold
Because 18k white gold is 75% gold, and 14k white gold is 58.3% gold, jewelry made from these metals has a slight yellow color. To enhance the whiteness, almost all white gold is plated with rhodium, a shiny, white metal which is extremely hard. Depending on the amount of wear to a piece of jewelry, over time this rhodium plating may wear off, revealing the original metal color. Re-plating is a simple process that can be done to restore your jewelry's whiteness if needed.

Rose Gold
Rose gold gets its color from a larger proportion of copper in the metal alloy. This gives the gold a beautiful pink color.

The price of gold jewelry is dependent upon the purity of the gold used or karat weight, as well as the design and construction of the piece of jewelry.

Keep your gold jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine and cleaning fluids. This will reduce daily abrasions and prolong gold's luster. To clean gold jewelry, use a solution of warm water and detergent-free soap and wash gold gently with a soft-bristled brush (a dull tooth brush works well). Store gold pieces separately in soft cloth bags or original boxes to protect them from the exposure to harsh daily elements.

Gold

Gold won't tarnish, rust, or corrode, and though it's very strong, it is also the most malleable of all metals.

Pure gold is too soft to withstand the stresses of every-day wear, so it is alloyed with a mixture of metals like silver, copper, nickel, and zinc to give it strength and durability. Karatage, noted by a number followed by "k" indicates purity, or how much of the metal in a piece of jewelry is gold. Karatage is expressed in 24ths, making 24k gold 100% gold.

The color of gold is determined by two factors:

The type of metal alloys included in it

The percentage of each metal alloy

Yellow Gold
In jewelry at Blue Nile, you'll find 18k and 14k yellow gold. 18k gold contains more precious metal than 14k gold. It is composed of 75% gold, which is alloyed with other metals to make it strong enough to withstand every-day wear. Because 14k gold is composed of only 58.3% gold, and 41.7% other metals that give it strength, its gold color is not as rich as 18k gold. 14k gold is most commonly found in cases where strength is most important, like in earring backs and bracelet clasps.

Different kind of necklaces

There are so many more necklace designs in the market that it is more and more complicated to find a necklace with good quality and adapted to our personality. There are different types of necklaces available in the market as cheap as expensive. Obviously, the most famous are necklaces made from different type of metal such as silver, gold, titanium… but there is also others metals called precious and semi-precious. When buying jewelry, there are many factors to be considered. A gold necklace speaks of elegance and is classy, if purchased with other factors in mind. For women who like classical style, there are still pearls that will never go out of fashion. Diamond and gemstone pendants on coordinating gold or silver chains are also perpetually popular together with beads and crystals especially for upper middle class. But since few years, there are new trends of necklaces: Firstly, necklaces and others jewelries which come from Hip Hip style have increased the last decade Secondly, ethnical and handmade necklaces because these are like authentic and unique piece. Even if there several kinds of necklaces, we can classify the most famous:

• Layered, dual, or three strand neck jewelry
• Chunky, oversized pieces
• Celebrity-inspired necklaces
• Delicate lariats or "Y's"
• New choker styles
• Crystal beads

Three station and drop necklaces

• Natural beads and organic carvings
• Scalloped and collar neck pieces
• Long ropes/chains
• Colored gold
• Enamel and ceramic
• Open and hammered links in chains
• Floating heart pendant necklaces

Concerning the length of the necklaces, it depends on women. Indeed, some of them prefer it length whereas others prefers short but the most popular length is worn loosely around the neck and falls slightly below the collar bone. Chokers lie tightly against the neck itself. Chains and pearls come in a great variety of lengths, allowing you to choose the look that you desire. Regarding men, since last years, the offer is still increasing. Indeed, in 90s they worn gold or silver necklace whereas now they wear high steel, leather or ethnical necklaces. So jewelers have to diversify their offer.

Black Pearl Jewelry

Black pearl jewelry is gaining more and more popularity in the world of fashionable and stylish accessories and jewelry. Compared to the traditional and classic white pearls, women and even men are caught in the allure of the deep rich color of black pearls, along with their dramatic modern look. Black pearl jewelry looks good and goes well with almost any light-colored ensemble, just like the effect when white pearls are worn with dark-colored clothing.

Black pearls are made by black-lipped oysters that live in the Indian Oceans and the French Polynesian. They have an average size of around 8 to 17 millimeters and are the only pearls that come in a dark color naturally. Black pearls, which are also called Tahitian pearls, do not only come in a black color. They could also be dark blue, gray, brown and blue green with overtones of red, purple or green.

There are also differences between the freshwater and saltwater black pearl jewelry. The black pearls, which are from the sea, have a color that is deeper while black pearls, which are from freshwater, have a faded or light gray appearance. Also, saltwater pearls are usually rounder and more lustrous than freshwater pearls, making them more expensive.

Generally, larger and rounder pearls and pearls which have overtones are considered to be more valuable and stylish. Black pearls are still the most frequently and popularly searched color, which is followed by pink pearls, and then blue pearls and then white pearls. The uniqueness and natural mystique of black pearl jewelry make them great gifts whenever there is a special occasion and even when there are none.

Jewelry Gifts for Mom

Today, with so many women in the work force, mommy jewelry has taken on another poignant purpose. A mom can pause for a moment during a stressful day and sneak a peek at that photo in her locket or run her fingers over the jewels on her bracelet. It's a quick but powerful reminder of what's really important in life.

The modern mom can choose from thousands of different approaches to mommy jewelry, ranging from traditional to edgy, from silly to chic.

Designer Jenn Dewey offers a lovely and symbolic Acorn and Leaf Pendant in her online shop, Jenn's Jewels. The item can be customized by the choice of gemstone, metal, and even the type of oak leaf preferred.

Several popular examples of mommy jewelry come from the retailer Red Envelope. The company's success in this unique area of merchandise began with a charming item called the Pea In The Pod Necklace, created by designer Michael Michaud. It consists of a realist-looking peapod in sterling silvr or gold, into which one, two, three or four freshwater pearls are inserted to represent the children in the family.

After the smashing success of this design, new ideas followed (after all, there had to be something to give Mom the year after she got the Pea in the Pod, right?). Current favorites include the Mother's Embace Birthstone Necklace, a sterling-silver item that can hold up to five birthstones. It has an elegant circular shape which, according to the Red Envelope website, "serves as a symbol of the never-ending love a mother gives a child." The Pride and Joy Necklace features the child's name engraved on polished-sterling-silver with either blue topaz for a boy or rose quartz for a girl.

A sign that mommy jewelry has truly moved into the modern age? New items are being designed that represent birth mother, adoptive mother, and child.

By Anthony McDay

The selection of the perfect gift may prove rather challenging. Undoubtedly, you are interested in buying a gift that shows your true appreciation for a person who is very special to you. Even cz gold jewelry may come along with the same challenges, because this type of gift will not be a common one. On the contrary, every precious gift is likely to impress the recipient. Therefore, you will need genuine brainstorming in order to decide which gift is likely to be appropriate for a particular person who has a special place in your heart. If you choose to buy a diamond ring, you have to be perfectly aware that every person will be able to value this type of gift. The good thing when it comes to buying a diamond ring, as a gift for a person, is that the recipient will realize that he or she is special enough in order to receive such precious gifts.

You may take notice of the jewelry usually worn by the person, in order to choose a similar shape or size for your future gift. The particular social occasions can also be used in order to observe the jewelry worn by that person on a regular basis. Even the cz gold jewelry can be selected by paying attention to the ordinary jewelry worn by the future gift recipient.

The recipient�s taste must be your guideline when it comes to selecting a diamond ring, because you are not likely to afford buying a new gift in case that the person does not like your jewelry gift. If you notice that the future recipient is keen on wearing conservative jewelry, you have to take into account this conservative fashion, because you will have to buy an unsophisticated jewelry item that will delight his /her taste. You should not be too daring when it comes to choosing a gift for a person who likes the conservative and traditional fashion; you will have to stick to refined pieces that are not too flashy in order to please the recipient.

If you are a man who is highly interested in purchasing a diamond ring for the woman you love, you will have to analyze closely the jewelry items worn by the woman on a daily basis. You may even try to buy a sophisticated piece made of cz gold jewelry and, in this case, the perfect choice would be a nice and delicate gold bracelet. Plenty of brands are available on the current market and they can provide you with a wide range of options. Elegant and refined pieces are to be found on the existing market and every woman would be delighted to receive such expensive gifts that show the true appreciation that comes from a particular person. If you try government auctions for such jewelry articles, you stand a chance of find rare models, i.e. rare designs for jewelry-encrusted rings. Furthermore, such auctions will display starting bids so low that you will find them amazing.

Therefore, you will have to take full advantage of all the options available on the market; the pieces can also be customized and personalized in order to suit everyone�s taste. Buying a jewelry piece as a gift means that you have a certain fashion sense expressed by this type of gifts. Another aspect to consider is that the customized pieces are not likely to be too expensive for your wallet either. For instance, you may have a jewelry piece engraved with some favorite quotes in order to impress the recipient in a positive manner by showing your true appreciation. Nevertheless, you will also have to make sure that the recipient does not suffer from severe allergies to any type of metal; a jewelry piece should be a great gift and not a reason to become concerned with the recipient�s state of health. In the end, jewelry is the perfect gift for almost any occasion, because it will show your true feelings in relation to the recipient.

About Gold

People have been using gold to make jewelry since the Stone Age. You can find it just lying in little lumps in streams here and there. And gold is always pretty and yellow, even when it is just lying in the stream. But to get more gold you have to find gold mines underground.
Here's a video of a gold mine in South Dakota, in the United States.

ne early source of gold was Ethiopia. The Egyptians got their gold by trading for it with the Nubians in Ethiopia, as well as from their own mines. Many places in Africa have gold mines where people mined gold for jewelry and decorations. In West Africa, people traded gold for salt from the Sahara desert to their north.And there were also gold mines in Rumania. That's one reason why the Romans conquered it. The Romans made gold coins out of this gold.

old is easy to work, but it is not strong enough to make tools or weapons out of. For that you need bronze or iron.
When European people came to North America, they thought they would find a lot of gold there. They did find some, though not as much as they had hoped. When men found gold in California in 1848 AD, thousands of men and women rushed out to California to pan for gold and try to make their fortunes. Most of them did not get rich, but a few did.

Natural History of Diamonds

When carbon or carbon bearing materials are exposed to high temperature and pressure for an extended period of time, diamonds are formed. Deep within the Earth, there are areas that are thermodynamically favorable for the formation of diamonds, due to the high temperature and pressure found in these regions. Starting approximately 90 miles under the continental crust, with a pressure of 5 gigapascals and a temperature of 1200 degrees Celsius, diamonds are formed. Diamonds tend to grow larger under oceanic crust, after long periods of exposure to the high pressures and temperatures found there.
There are both inorganic and organic carbon found in diamonds. Diamonds have different names depending on the type of carbon found in them. Diamonds formed from inorganic carbon found in the Earth's mantle are called harzburgitic, whereas eclogitic diamonds are formed from organic carbon from detritus that has been pushed down from the surface of the Earth's crust. The diamonds that are brought to the surface of the Earth are older than most, ranging from 1-3.3 billion years old. Any natural, high pressure, high temperature event can cause diamonds to form.
Micro-diamonds, which are very small diamonds, have been found in craters where meteors struck the earth and created areas of high temperature and pressure. These small diamonds are used to indicate sites where there was once a meteorite impact. In the oldest regions of the Earth's crust, volcanic pipes bearing diamonds can commonly be found. Volcanic pipes are found below small surface volcanic craters, and contain material that was brought towards the surface during volcanic activity, yet never erupted. The magma does not contain diamonds, yet transports the rocks and materials to the surface.
Diamonds that are brought to the Earth's surface by magma in a volcanic pipe can erode out and be dispersed over a very large area. A primary source of diamonds is the term used to describe a volcanic pipe containing diamonds. A secondary source occurs where a number of diamonds accumulate due to the activity of water or weather. Diamonds have been found in glacial deposits, yet are not found in large numbers, and are not considered a potential commercial source of the gem. It is also possible for diamonds to be forced to the surface after two continental plates collide, although it is rare.
