Today's Nikkei Newspaper: Silver Price Surge - A Globally Recognized Asset: Silver. Christofle Silver Spoons, Cutlery. Purchased at a Christofle department store. Two out of four have been used, but they can be restored with care. They have a substantial, luxurious feel. Ordered from France about two years ago. Due to the unstable global situation, they arrived in two separate shipments, hence the different box sizes. I haven't used them since I bought pure gold spoons, which are easier to maintain. Meals become more delicious. Expensive items create human value. I came up with the idea of owning gold and silver items as assets. Let's acquire land, gold, and silver – things that maintain their value and are immovable! That's the true path to wealth. I'm also selling gold necklaces, Rolex watches, and Birkin bags, which are assets. I'm also offering rare, vintage items that increase in value over time. A leopard rug is incredibly impressive. I hope someone on Mercari understands this value system. Christofle
