Jewelry sales are climbing to double digit profits in China according to gold company Hong Kong Resources Holdings, Ltd. The Chinese middle class is driving the shopping spree. The nation’s economy grew 8.9% in the third quarter alone, and these real, actualized profits are allowing the middle class to grow larger than ever when most countries are losing their middle class and seeing huge wage gaps between the very rich and the very poor.

Every year, 10 million couples marry in China, and analysts are expecting even more jewelry purchases in the fourth quarter because it coincides with the wedding season. Jewelers have been speaking to the press about expanding their retail store presence by the hundreds in mainland China. Gold and silver jewelry sails in China have gained 16% already this year, despite record highs for the price of bullion.

Well before we begin to answer that question I want to highlight a few things about gold coins, gold bullion, gold bars (all of which we specialize in) as well as gold jewelry. Compared to other commodities such as other precious metals, organic materials, oil, etc. there is relatively little gold in the world.
