1. Introduktion: America’s Enduring Love Affair with Gold

Gold has been a cornerstone of American jewelry culture since the California Gold Rush (1848). I dag, 85% of US jewelry consumers own at least one gold piece (National Jeweler, 2023). But with rising gold prices, gold-plated silver (925 sterling silver with gold plating) has emerged as the smart alternative—especially for JINGYING’s bulk-order US clients.
