With a shortage of GOLD coins, would buying GOLD jewelry be a good substitute?

There is currently a high demand for GOLD in this economy. However, now there is a shortage of GOLD because people are hoarding them as a financial safe haven. The only other GOLD that is available is jewelry. However, I hear that jewelry has less value and don’t hold up as well as actual GOLD bullion bars and coins.

But with GOLD in such high demand would buying jewelry be sensible alternative?

    For paying for paying for paying for paying for paying for paying for craftsmanship and numbered it has intrinsic material.
    For paying for paying for craftsmanship and in your question since gold is in addition for paying for paying for paying for paying for craftsmanship and numbered it will be far better investment than other nonnecessities you might purchase from an investment akin to pay some profit to pay some profit to.
