Here’s how one hostess in Ottawa invited her nearest and dearest to her recent Gold Party Canada gold party:

Hi Ladies,

Gold is hovering at an all-time high (over $1100 per ounce), so bring your white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum and ex-boyfriend jewellery – basically any gold you have and won’t wear again – to my gold party. Not sure if it’s real? That’s what Gold Party Canada is for! A Gold Party Canada appraiser will evaluate and weigh each piece to determine its value so you can cash in right then and there. Guests go home with an average of $500 and some go home with literally thousands in cash (depending on how much you have, of course). I made $600 at a gold party last week and wanted to help out all my favorite girls with some holiday spending money!!!

Let me know if you can make it, because I can’t wait to see you there! Invite friends who you think would be interested! Gold Party Canada will also pay you out if you can’t make but can get your jewellery to me before the party. Wine and cheese will be served – courtesy of Gold Party Canada!
