The Oscars are almost here!

2012-01-27T14:50:00.004-05:00

The Oscar awards are around the corner on February 26, 2012 at the legendary Kodak Theatre and everyone is buzzing about who will take the awards this year! The excitement comes with who will be wearing what, and which of their favorite movies will win. However, sometimes we forget about the iconic statue itself. Have you ever wondered what the actual Oscar Statue stands for and what it is made out of? Is it pure gold? The Oscar Statue is officially named the Academy Award of Merit and is one of nine types of Academy awards. The Oscar is made of "gold-plated britannium on a black metal base and it stands 13½ inches tall and weighs in at a robust 8½ pounds. The film reel features five spokes, signifying the five original branches of the Academy: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers" (via Oscars.org).
Although it is not pure gold, it is still an exceptional piece of history. Will you be watching the Oscars? We know we will be at Cash4Gold!

Of course, retailers like Forever 21 followed in suit, creating the thick silver necklace for trend hungry girls everywhere.

On the runways this fall, we saw chokers on several runways such as Charlotte Ronson, Donna Karan, and the golden version at Elie Tahari.

Diane Kruger Shines InStyle

2011-10-14T16:19:00.002-04:00

InStyle magazine has taken a turn for the golden by placing blonde bombshell Diane Kruger on their October magazine cover. Kruger is decked out in a long sleeved gown covered in gold sequins, perfectly complementary to the sequined background of the magazine header as well. Appropriately, the magazine touts “69 Glam Buys” as a peek into what’s inside.

Take a cue from Kruger and remember that when your outfit is flashy, there’s little need to adorn beyond that. A gold dress with gold jewelry would be tacky! With a shade as flashy as gold, it’s important to keep it all under control. Also on the cover? “Poker straight hair is back.” Channel your inner 70s goddess and let your Cher-straight hair and sequin gown speak volumes.

The 4 Types of Gold You Can Sell

2011-10-06T14:00:00.001-04:00

Not all things gold are meant to be sold. Fortunately, we have put together a guide to help you navigate selling your gold belongings and what goes into determining value for each. Here at Cash 4 Gold, we’ve been the leader in the industry for years. Some are obvious, like jewelry, while others can be less so, like your gold tooth.

Gold coins are highly prized by collectors. Once upon a time, kings and nobles traded and collected gold coins—that should give you an idea how prestigious they can be. Alas, the time may come where you need to redeem your gold coins for cash. When that time comes, be sure to sell with a reputable dealer and maximize your takeaway.

Second, gold bul. Similar to bullion, yet less majestic. Bullion is so extravagant, it’s normally found in its purest form—gold bars.

Third, scrap gold. This would be gold that has been extracted from a crown or filling, gold wiring, or damaged jewelry.

And lastly, the ever-popular gold jewelry. Get rid of that necklace your ex-boyfriend gave you and get cash! Let’s just hope his gift was gold, and not gold-plated.

2011-10-04T15:54:00.000-04:00

Scientists at MIT and Harvard have discovered tissue building gold studs that create a synchronized heart beat for survivors of heart attacks. The scaffolds made of gold are intertwined with the tissue cells and stimulate the growth of cardiac cells.

Alginate is fused with the gold nanowires and they act as superb conductors for the heart. When compared to natural cell growth, the gold fused cells grew thicker and straighter. With electricity, they all pulsed in unity.

Now, one day you may sell your gold necklace—but we’re pretty confident the gold in your heart is there to stay.

Indulge in the Ultimate Muffin for $16

2011-09-29T11:46:00.000-04:00

Reports surfaced that the government officials attending a past Justice Department conference bought $16 muffins, however the hotel that hosted the convention—Hilton Worldwide denied that was the case. The hotel said that the $16 covered an entire meal person, muffin, drinks, and tip. However—what if that wasn’t the case? A muffin is usually about a dollar when baked with fresh ingredients. So what could compensate for the additional $15 per muffin?

Even with all the organic and high end ingredients, the cost was still not anywhere near $16 a piece. So USATODAY.com did some research on what would take them up in value. Apparently, to kick up the net worth of a muffin you need two decadent ingredients: alcohol and gold. At $192/dozen, the gold-topped muffins would each cost $16.

What do you think is more luxurious—to eat muffins that near $20/each, or to eat leaves of gold? The site even includes a recipe so those looking to adorn their food with gold jewelry can make them at home.

The Most Valuable Coin in the World

2011-08-31T14:28:00.001-04:00

The 1933 Double Eagle coin, which has a face value of $20, is actually valued at $7.6 million. The vintage gold coin was one of the last minted by the U.S. government, escaping the fate of other gold coins that were melted down into bullion in 1937.

The coin that sits in the lobby of the U.S. Federal Reserve is not the only remaining Double Eagle coin. Specialists think that they have a ballpark of how many to look for, but with attempts to locate the coins spanning 70 years, 13 Presidential administrations, and 12 different directors, the chances of finding these coins is quite an extravagant investigation. Not to mention, the scenarios tied to finding the coins sound like a movie—spanning three continents, informants, royalty and even a sting setup in NYC’s famed Waldorf.

One has to wonder…why is the government so motivated to recover these coins? Yes, they are made of gold, but as the investigation nears almost 100 years of searching, the persistence behind the search is a mystery in itself. The coins were minted at a point when the gold supply was nearly down to nothing, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered that all Americans must trade gold coins for paper currency, in an attempt to rebuild the Federal Reserve supply.

To read more about the mystery of the Double Eagle, check out a recent article on MSNBC.

43 Carat “Golden” Diamond to Be Auctioned

2011-08-18T15:09:00.002-04:00

A 43.5 carat diamond that’s commonly known as the “Golden Eye” for its yellow hue will be auctioned online in September. The fabulous jewel, which is one of the biggest diamonds to be discovered, will be auctioned for about $20 million. The diamond was confiscated from money launderer Paul Monea, an infomercial magnate from Ohio.

Monea initially saw financial success with Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo workout tapes, which made him a millionaire. He was trying to sell the diamond, which he always kept in his pocket, along with other luxuries like his mansion, to a drug cartel broker—only the broker was actually an FBI agent undercover.

Unfortunately for Monea, his attempt to deal with illegal transactions cost him his jewel and his freedom.

A Swiss artist, Dante Rubli, has created a 24-karat gold sculpture of a Ferrari 250 GTO that will be unveiled to anxious viewers at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. This isn’t Rubli’s first car creation; he has also made sculptures of an Aston Martin and a Mercedes 300 SL. The golden doppelganger is planned to rest aside the real deal at the Southern California event.

Of course, the gold replica is expensive, but not as expensive as the car it is modeled after. The 250 GTO went for about $12 million a few years ago, but with the value of gold going up, who knows if the golden Ferrari will inch closer in value to the real deal!
