It is possible to buy 24k jewelry and people do so because it can't be confiscated by the government simply because it's jewelry. Maybe they don't wear it and just keep it in a safe?
I'm not sure what the price difference is between 22k and 24k.
I love jewelry but I don't belong to the social circles where extravagant jewelry is appropriate - sigh.
There is a vast difference between diamonds used in jewelry and investment quality diamonds and the only "investment " quality gold jewelry is 24k - which by the way is exempt from government seizure. However, there are a lot of vintage quality pieces, such as Faberge' that do hold value and increase in value as time passes.
The crazy thing is diamond prices and quantity used to be controlled by De Beers - most really aren't that rare or valuable. It was determined they had a monopoly on the business, but they still control about 30% of the business today.

My Miata has a little beep horn - I keep thinking about getting something else, but not La Cucaracha - lol.

Probably a few others along the way that I've forgotten.
I always carry cash, but use Amex or Visa for just about everything and I pay the balance off each month.
There is your problem - you watch Hallmark.
To each his own, but October means Halloween, November is for Thanksgiving, and Christmas festivities begin the day after Thanksgiving which is when I start watching holiday movies.
Thursday - I had a pizza patio party.
No - it was 80 degrees Thursday and Friday - will be in the 60's for the next week.
Oh my! Yes they and their deeds are black and white.
What does fiction have to do with reality?
