Why invest in gemstones?

  • Gemstones are the most emotional way of storing wealth: nothing else of such high value can be worn so close to the skin and thus touched so often every day.
  • Gemstones are small and easy to transport and concentrate their value in a very small volume.
  • Gemstones have no metallic characteristics and are thus easy to hide.
  • Gemstones are traded internationally.
  • Worldwide sources of gemstones (especially rubies and sapphires, but also diamonds) are becoming exhausted.
  • Earlier source countries in Asia as well as Russia are now creating high demand.
  • Auctions are raising market prices.
  • Naturally coloured gemstones have seen a constant, strong increase in value for over 40 years and are considered to be “non-volatile”, meaning they will hold their value securely.
  • Gemstones are easy to store, require no effort and no servicing.
  • They are easy to pass on, for example to further generations.

Market development and performance

Since 1995 the market prices for naturally coloured, untreated gemstones have at least tripled.

Sapphires , Padparadschas, Alexandrites and Rubies  have increased in value between six-fold and eight-fold in 25 years. 

 

Long term, rubies and sapphires have performed considerably better than both gold and DAX. Naturally coloured, untreated gemstones are non-volatile and are not affected by wordwide economic events.
