I went to a few jewelry stores at the Mall, K's being one of them. I asked to see how much they were getting for their 14k wedding bands, and they told me that they did not have 14k wedding bands or they did not have the larger ones, not sure. They only had 10k bands. They said because the price of gold was so high that people could not afford 14k bands.
I think this is good and not so good. Good if you want to sell, and not so good because may be in the future there will be many 10k wedding bands, well in the States, who Knows?

Don't forget a lot of people were buying gold jewelry before the price shot up, and they'll still losing that gold! ;D
