Sterling silver for rings! (See my avatar for some examples.) I don't like any other metal, including platinum and gold (even white gold) regarding rings.
I also like pendants, but they can be made of any materials as long as they don't touch my skin. |

If I protected my rings like my eyes, I might consider 99.99% of silver rings. But, I occasionally drop my rings on the ground and they have contacts with hard and sharp surfaces. So 92.5% of silver rings are better for me. Edited by Shadowyzard - August 28 2021 at 02:45 |

I honestly meant 999.99+ for silver, and especially gold!
The only gold I own is around my neck, and it's 14K.

I adore sapphires, gold, and platinum. As a stock trader- with over 20 years of experience- I know the stock market outperforms precocious metals. That said, gold, silver, and platinum are sexier than electronic stock trades.
As with everything else...timing is crucial. If you bought $407 gold in March 2000, you'd be in the Catbird's seat. If you purchased gold in February 1980, you'd still be under water since the price was $2,298. Unless you know that you know that you know...don't put all your golden eggs in one basket. I would not allocate more than 15% of investments to precious metals. However, if you adore gold and platinum for beauty... go nuts! Edited by omphaloskepsis - August 31 2021 at 18:43 |

Maybe they are, but do not want to reveal that about themselves publicly  |

No. I'm not into that. Owning such objects just means that you have to guard them all the time, and generally I don't spend much money on things other than music and food.

I collected coins as a kid. I still do when I come across something interesting but no longer go out of my way. I still have my collection including some silver coins but never any gold coins.

I don't know if it counts, but I do own some original paintings by different modern artists post-1945 (abstract, cubism etc.). I didn't buy them, but they have belonged to family members who either passed away or didn't have enough space for them anymore. I have no idea what they are worth, but I really don't care. They are on my wall because I like them.
