Ms. Cheng from Sha Tin turns idle wedding gold into startup capital for a new life. | Gu Jin Jian Bao
The Buyback of wedding gold jewelry usually has a story of a life turning point behind it. Some people are moving to a bigger house, some are starting a business, and some simply feel it's a waste to keep it. Ms. Cheng's situation is more unique – she wants to transform the traces of her previous marriage into start-up funds for a new life.
Ms. Cheng, thirty-four years old, lives in Sha Tin and works as an IT project manager at a tech company. She has been living alone since her divorce two years ago. The set of wedding gold jewelry – dragon and phoenix bangles, filigree necklace, heart-shaped pendant necklace, patterned ring, and earrings – given by her ex-husband's family has been sitting in her bedroom drawer, making her uncomfortable every time she sees it. Recently, she decided to pursue an MBA, and the tuition fee costs over a hundred thousand dollars, so this gold jewelry came in handy.
"It's not that I'm short on money; it's that I don't want to keep these things anymore. It's best if they can be converted into tuition fees," Ms. Cheng said calmly, bringing a jewelry box with her.

Ms. Cheng confirmed the transaction on the spot, saying that this money would be enough to pay for her first semester's MBA tuition. "At least it's put to good use."
