Those looking to invest in gold during the recession might benefit from considering jewellery made from the precious metal, it has been suggested.

According to Terry Betteridge of US firm Betteridge Jewelers, vintage gold jewellery can be beneficial for would-be gold investors as it tends to resell at about the same price as when the buyer originally purchased it.

He went on to highlight the advantages of dealing in high-end gold jewellery by the likes of Bulgari and Tiffany, claiming that such pieces can sell at double the metal value in some cases.

"If you have really special pieces - and definitely anything by Faberge - you'll probably get the best resale deal if you sell it through an auction house," Mr Betteridge remarked.

According to Koncept Analytics, gold tends to lead jewellery markets in most parts of the world thanks to its tradability and the high value associated with the precious metal.
