This explains part of attraction associated with these 'non-virtual' commodities - they existed for a very long time in human history, and presumably even before. Used throughout all generations and nations they have been and are one of preferred ways to display symbols of value and are used as objects of beauty and style in jewelry. As a form of personal expression and 'street art'.

Thinking of fashion styles we tend to look at clothing, hair styling and makeup first. However accessories are a major part of outfit. Jewelry one of its coolest forms.

Why is silver jewelry one of constants that remain throughout history? What is real mystery and secret of silver? It's not only its cool attraction -- it is one of commodities that existed before paper money, and it will retain it's value after currencies are gone.

In a world that goes more virtual by minute we keep a few valuables that have their own pre-set value outside our current reality. Currencies will go virtual, jewelry will not.

To give you an idea about differences of investments in tangible and intangible products and how it works out in real life, let me give you an example that nearly did cost me $25.000 in past.

During first oil crisis I lived in New Zealand for a few years and had to invest my assets in appropriate channels at that time. Because back then not only oil prices went up, also other commodities such as gold and silver increased slightly in value and I decided to invest some money in metals.

Well, don’t fret. I have some ideas for you. While advice columnists steer single women into churches to meet honest, loyal, and successful men, I wouldn’t dream of it. Church is great for communing with God, but it never struck me as best place to meet a man. People, including me, are on our best behavior at church. If you’d rather meet a man where he’s more likely to be himself, here are my top three recommendations:

1.A bar, specifically during Monday Night Football. Football season is a great time to meet men who flock to taverns to watch NFL. When I was single, I loved going to Monday Night Football (even though I didn’t really understand game) because bar was filled with mostly single men, there was a free buffet, and atmosphere was merry. Advice columnists usually tell women to stay out of bars if they want to meet suitable men, but I disagree. It’s important to see how a man drinks, and how he behaves under influence of alcohol. Does he get wasted and drive home? Or, does he have a couple of beers and switch to water before he leaves? Does he smack bartender in head when his team loses, or does he remain amiable? There are things you can learn in a bar about a man that you never will in church. Bring a friend with you and make having fun, not hooking up, your first priority. You may have to show up three weeks in a row before anybody shows interest in you (or, then again, maybe not). Keep in mind that different bars attract different types of people. If you don’t like crowd in one bar, try another place next time.
