❓ Investment Questions
Are gemstones a good investment?
High-quality, rare gemstones can appreciate in value over time. However, they're illiquid assets requiring expertise. Invest only in certified, untreated stones from reputable sources. Diversification is key - gemstones should be part of a broader portfolio.
What gemstones appreciate in value?
Rare, high-quality sapphires, rubies, and emeralds from premium origins (Kashmir, Burma, Colombia) appreciate best. Untreated stones, AAA color grades, and certified pieces hold value. Queensland parti-sapphires are emerging investment stones.
How much should I invest in gemstones?
Start with 5-10% of investment portfolio maximum. Begin with $5,000-$10,000 minimum for quality investment-grade stones. Focus on certified pieces with clear documentation. Consult financial advisors before major investments.
