Silver Bullion - Disadvantages of investing in or owning silver
jewelry
What are the disadvantages of investing in or owning silver jewelry? This is probably the second
question the potential silver investor will ask after reading or hearing
that silver jewelry is among the least popular forms of physical silver to invest in or to own as far as
the serious silver investor is concerned.

Silver Bullion is of the opinion that investing in or owning silver jewelry has the
following disadvantages attached to it:
Divisibility: Silver jewelry, unlike silver coins which are standardized measures of
silver purity and
weight, are not easily divisible between the beneficiaries of an estate if you want to do it fairly
and equally, especially considering silver jewelry of great sentimental value such as family
heirlooms.
In addition to the above, you don’t want to sit with a situation
where you have to sell the silver jewelry in an estate or exchange it for non-redeemable paper notes
(fiat money) in order to divide it equally
between beneficiaries. It is much easier and more cost-effective to buy silver that is divisible from the
beginning, and then we’re not referring to paper silver, we’re rather referring to physical silver, especially in the form of
1 oz silver bullion coins (American Silver Eagles, Canadian Silver Maple Leafs, Mexican Silver Libertads, Chinese Silver Pandas, Australian Silver Kookaburras,
Australian Silver Kangaroos, British Silver Britannia and Austrian Silver Vienna
Philharmonics).

The silver investor simply doesn't want to force the
beneficiaries of his/her estate into a situation where they have to cut silver jewelry in half or are being forced to sell
it in order to divide the fiat money proceeds between them, especially
during times of rampant silver market manipulation and while the
"paper gimmick" is still pretty much at the order
of the day.
