I'm not so sure they are switching because of the unpredictability of gold prices but more on the demand and future demand of silver, people are starting to notice that silver is a good investment and jewelry is a easy and affordable way for most folks to hold something valuable, I've spoken to more than one jeweler who has stated they are stocking up on silver as demand has increased and with gold getting higher and higher it's becoming unaffordable for more folks so they look at silver. It's just more good news for silver investors!
