<<Jewellery included in gold deposit scheme.>> This one smells real bad! If it were only bullion, that would be different, but, NO jewelry is 99.9% pure, most ain't even 24k, I understand there most is 22k, far from pure(though far better than here where 14-18k is more the norm). Does this mean the shorts are now going after the labor of the craftsman & the jeweler & works of art & beauty and treasures of antiquity will be lost for all time and the result will be "melt value" only? What will next be the "cannon fodder" of the shorts? The Tiffany family might next melt down the master works of their predecessors? The Crown jewels of the queen of England fall to the crucible? Will they fire the melt flame with the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Magna Carta & the Bible?
