Investing in gemstones
Subtle color aberrations and inclusions often dictate a stone’s value. Quality assessment is complex and depends on substantial expertise. Fundamentally, a distinction can be drawn between investment in colored gemstones and in diamonds.
In recent years, colored gemstones have enjoyed significant and sustained rises in value; this has applied not only to rubies, sapphires and emeralds, but also to other rare gems, such as the Paraiba tourmaline and the mandarin garnet.
Unlike diamonds, which are assessed by purity, color, cut and carat weight, gemstones are mainly evaluated by provenance, color intensity and expressiveness.
Although the Rapaport Price List is commonly used as an international benchmark by dealers to estimate diamond prices, it serves primarily as a guide. Moreover, this benchmark does not account for diamonds of exceptional quality and size or naturally coloured diamonds whose price is subject to traditional market forces.
It is for these exceptional gems, in particular the ‘Fancy Coloured Diamonds’ in rare shades of red, pink, green and blue, that breathtaking valuations have been attained.
Quality and rarity play a dominant role for both gemstones and diamonds; the finer and rarer a gem, the higher its demand and therefore its value. The appreciation of the past few years has been primarily influenced by two significant factors: increased demand, particularly in the Asian market and limited supply due to resource scarcity in some cases.
A prerequisite for effective decision making in this arena is tailored advice from experts with trustworthy sources and experience in interpreting market trends. Moreover, the customer must clarify their investment goals when buying a gemstone, balancing abiding pleasure with capital appreciation. This special asset class should be considered a long-term investment that preserves value.
To avoid disappointment at resale, it is advisable to acquire gemstones at trade rates. Should a customer be thinking about selling a gem, there are various options that can be evaluated to optimize the outcome.
As with investment in other alternative asset classes, expertise is essential. It is only on the basis of good, trustworthy advice that the customer can expect to enjoy their gems for years to come and bequeath them with confidence to the next generation.
