Jewellery as an investment has never gone out of style, it’s just not something that young women are as aware of in this day and age as designer bags tend to catch the eye first. But jewellery is a great investment. The rarer the jewellery is, the better the investment is, but it does take some expertise to buy designer jewellery in a smart way.
Consider The Following Before Investing
Only Buy from Specific Brands
If you try to buy something from a regular jeweller, you’ll need to do your homework in order to get a good deal. The seller needs to be highly rated, have the right number of good reviews, be reputable and also have the right merchandise in store.
In the time it takes you to do all this, you can just shop at Louis Vuitton, a reputable designer store. As an added bonus, when you shop designer, the jewellery itself isn’t just where the value comes from, the brand name also contributes to the value. This means resale values can be incredibly high for reputable designer brands.
Remember Only High-Quality Jewellery is Stable in Value
When you want to buy genuine jewellery of high value, you need to invest your money very wisely, but you need to remember that the value of jewellery depends entirely on the quality of the items. So, if you want to retain or increase the value of a pure gold ring, you need to choose a brand that will also appreciate in value.
Choose Gold, Precious Stones or Platinum
Materials matter, as the more expensive the precious metal, the higher the value of the jewellery is. The best option by far is yellow gold as it looks expensive on top of also being worth its value. Then when it comes to stones, diamonds are always the very best value, followed by gemstones such as sapphire, emerald and ruby. You do need to ensure you choose high-quality cuts and you should be able to protect your investment.
Finally, platinum is suddenly increasing in value, and this is because it can be used outside of just jewellery, and that gives it a unique value many don’t consider. So if you don’t have the budget for gold, platinum is a great choice too.
Now that you understand how to make a good investment, all that’s left is to make the investment itself. So happy shopping and good luck finding something stylish!
