New Years Eve Party that Pays!

New Years Eve is a night that is usually associated with fireworks, count-down parties, champagne, and of course midnight kisses. On this exciting night, it’s completely natural to feel compelled to gather in big groups and celebrate. Take Time Square for example… There’s thousands of people scrunched together in the streets, and they probably don’t even know the person standing on their foot:

Hassle Free Party Planning

If you’ve elected to host a party this year (or next year I suppose depending on how you look at it,) then you’ve undoubtedly got a lot on your plate. One of the biggest hassles with throwing a party is that you spend so much time planning, prepping, and making sure that your guests are enjoying themselves that you hardly get a chance to enjoy it yourself. What if though, you could sit back, relax, and let someone else send the invites and pay you for being the host? Sound too good to be true?

Here at Valley Goldmine Oklahoma City we offer Gold Parties, where you can invite all of your friends and family and we even pay you to be the host! The idea behind a gold party is that all of the guests will bring their gold, silver and platinum jewelry that they no longer want and would like to sell. We weigh the gold right there in front of everyone and bring cash prizes to keep the energy and excitement going from start to finish. The host of the party will receive 10% of the dollar amount spent during the party, which on average means they will make anywhere from $300-$500.

If you know or can think of anyone who might want cash for their gold, then why not mix things up this year and get paid to throw your own Gold themed New Years Eve party! Give Valley Goldmine Oklahoma City a call today and schedule your very own Gold Party. (405) 796-4993

Tips for Buying Holiday Jewelry Gifts

A girl can’t argue with a little black jewelry box nestled under the tree on Christmas morning. We’re professional precious metal buyers here at Valley Goldmine, so we know what it takes to carefully select the perfect piece of jewelry.

But if you don’t have experience, you might have trouble deciding what sparkly treasure to give your loved one. Here are two key suggestions for picking out a jewelry gift for your lady:

Fit her taste.

If your girl likes to keep it simple, she’ll be happier with a piece of jewelry that isn’t big and flashy. But if she’s all about the bling, don’t hesitate to go big and bold. Keep an eye on what type of jewelry she prefers to wear, whether it’s earrings, necklaces, rings or bracelets. Is she into silver or gold? Does she prefer diamonds or other gemstones? If you’re not sure, check out her jewelry box or review old pictures and see what she most often wears. Chances are she’ll be happiest with the type of jewelry she already typically chooses.

Make it personal.

If you’ve narrowed down that she likes silver bracelets or gold earrings, what’s next? Try and add specific details that fit her personality or can remind her of an experience you’d had together. If you really want to up the the nostalgia factor, present her with something previously own by your mother or grandmother, or put an old gemstone in a new setting. Adding a simple engraving can really personalize the piece of jewelry and make it a heartwarming gift.

Whatever you choose, she’s bound to love it just because it came from you. (But if she doesn’t, we know some high-quality gold buyers in Oklahoma City that can help you trade it in.)

Irish Leprechauns and Gold Buyers in Oklahoma City

With its sparkly appeal and shiny appearance, it’s no wonder gold makes an appearance in several mythical tales and old folklore. Just for fun, here’s the background on just one of those legends: the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

This particular myth hails from Ireland, where folklore is rich with tales of tiny, emerald-clad leprechauns. Stories range from wish granting to shoe making, but one element is common: those leprechauns have secret pots of gold.

One version of the legend says that the leprechauns gain their golden income from a successful shoe-making industry, and that the only way to find their secret stashes is to follow the sound of the shoe hammers.

Another version of the tale has historical roots, back to the days when Danish raiders were invading other European countries. When they arrived in Ireland, the Danes needed somewhere to bury their loot. According to folklore, the fairies stole the loot and the leprechauns were given the charge of guarding it. The pot of gold still exists today because of leprechaun wit and trickery — they consider it their job to keep it hidden from modern mortals.

You can decide what you choose to believe or not believe about golden folklore, but we can promise you one thing — you’ll get complete honesty from Valley Goldmine if you’re looking for the best gold buyers in Oklahoma City.
