Guangzhou store front grins with 300kg of gold teeth

Nearly 300 kilograms in gold bars caught the glare of the sun — and the eyes of shoppers — as the yellow brick road leading the way to a jewelry store in Guangzhou in southern China. The store was laying its intentions bare for the Labor Day holiday, Chinese media reported. The building authorities used 252 gold bars, each weighing 1 kilogram, to pave the front of the building for almost five meters. Dozens of gold ingots, each weighing 10kg, were also displayed on the fourth floor of the building. The building’s initiative was widely criticized as a grand waste. The Guangzhou jewelry was apparently not alone in its decadent decor. A jewelry store in Shandong also went with the gold standard, going with 1,000 bricks of gold, each of 1 kg, for its store front display. Both buildings assured critics of adequate security when asked about the safety of broadcasting their bling. The stores were apparently bringing attention to the all-time low price of gold on the world market.
