Some people like the investment. Some people like the prestige.  Some people have allergic reactions and can't wear the fake stuff.

Fake stuff makes my skin turn green, real stuff looks much better and lasts much longer. Real costs more but you won't need to replace the pieces. I find that I buy classic pieces in real metal and fad pieces in fake metal.

Because you know it's fake! Wearing silver and gold isn't just about the way it looks from the outside, but the knowledge that you have something nice.

It's pretty easy to spot the fakes, with just a glance. There's nothing wrong with wearing fakes, just don't claim that they are real.

Hi Zack! This is indeed a very good question! I have also been trying to understand why people spend fortunes on precious metals. These days, it’s hard to know if 24 karat gold is actually real or not!! The best thing to do is to avoid spending on such ornaments and keep the money for more important things!

And which of the things you consider important should be shared by all other human beings without exception?

Money can become worthless through inflation. Precious metals remain a medium of exchange in such times.

The value of money as a medium of exchange is what is important, but there is no guarantee that a given "money" will remain useful for that purpose---it may truly wind up "not being worth the paper it is printed on."

I buy both.  Costume jewelry is fun, but real gold and silver are lasting investments and heirlooms.

have you ever tried to doing both of those things?i mean have you , really?

Do you know the pleasure one feels when they buy the "original" product, its like value for money, the money they earned so hard.its the real feeling of happiness.

You know its like buying the cheap Gucci purse or the those street sold RayBan sunglasses and then buying the real , original gucci purse and a real original rayban sunglass, that feeling is divine.its pure chocolate from the sky you know, its like a graceful dance if the ballerina, like the time when you can have the whole box of FerreroRochiers all by yourself...

And just to get this tiny , divine , and heavenly feeling, people buy the original!
