Living in Canada, I have been subject to all sorts of creative commercials coercing the general populace to cash in their gold and precious jewels for immediate money. Everyone is on the rampage to get rid of their family valuables, of those rings they always hated, the earrings that you can’t wear because of you lack of piercings and all sorts of broken knickknacks that can bring in a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
People are like sheep. Where the shepherd leads them, they instinctively follow, without questioning the motives behind it. The psychology that currently resounds is an extremely naive trust in society and a terrible affliction of selfishness. What people do not realize is that by not buying new jewels and getting rid of the old ones, they are in fact sealing their own fate. When currencies fall and depression hits, the most reliable currency is the physical gold. Both gold and silver prices have hit sky high and new products are double to triple their former prices. The smart ones buy as the prices start climbing and those who have no grasp of the economics of this world sell the most important assets they carry. Jewelry is an investment that cannot be underestimated.
President of Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan has the right thought in encouraging the development of quality jewelry from within the country. Armenians have long been known as master craftsmen, especially in the jewelry trade. Such an endeavor proves promising for the economical development of the independent state.
“According to the Central Department of Information of the NKR President’s apparatus, ‘special attention was paid to the establishment of a jewelry school in Artsakh, which is one of the primary preconditions for the development of the sphere.'” Such a school will allow for the newer generation to be trained at a craft that, with the right amount of clever wit and determinism and a small dose of luck, will open doors to multiple grand opportunities. The mining of raw materials in the land itself and neighboring Armenia means that it would add an immense new market for export and trade.
