With Gold Prices Soaring, Would You Sell Your Jewelry?

Residents mull options as precious metal hits $1,500 an ounce

Due to recent concerns over a downgrade in the outlook on U.S. government debt, the price of an ounce of gold hit the $1,500 mark for the first time Monday. And with gold trading at $1,505.70 as of noon Wednesday, the price of one of the world's oldest valuable commodities looked to rise even further.
