THE FEELING IS FOLDING OUT THAT THE WORLD FINANCIAL CRISIS FROM ITS ACUTE PHASE HAS MOVED TO SLEEP. EXCHANGES DEMONSTRATE SHARPOPS AND FALLS, WORLD CURRENCY RATES - ITS INSTABILITY, GOLD SURROUNDLY GROWS IN PRICE, THERE DECREES. INVESTORS AIM TO DIVERSIFY THEIR PORTFOLIOS BY PLACING MORE DETAILS, PLACING CAPITALS IN REAL ESTATE AND OTHER ASSETS.
An alternative investment is investing in collectibles. These are numismatics and works of art: painting, bronze, porcelain, antique furniture, antique collectible cars and watches, legendary jewelry or rare gems.
Today we’ll talk about colored gemstones. Based on studies conducted by leading private banks in the world, such as Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, Mirabaud & Cie, Pictet & Cie, HSBC, Rothschild Bank AG, and many others in Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore and London, we have absolutely accurate information about that individuals and jewelry companies bought colored gemstones: rubies, emeralds, sapphires and colored diamonds (pink, blue, green, yellow, red, cognac and orange) in 2000, and did nothing thanks to the annual increase in the price of precious stones of the order of 10-15%, by 2010 earned 300% of the profit . And this despite the fact that colored gemstones are certainly a liquid commodity, which is always lacking in the market in sufficient quantities. Deposits are being exhausted, and stones are becoming less and less. At the same time, new sales markets are opening up, such as Japan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, India, the Middle East (Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE) and the countries of the former Soviet Union. The colossal market for famous brand jewelry is South America and the Caribbean.
Jewelry House MaximiliaN does not offer investments in jewelry that bear a huge marketing burden in the form of fees for the brand name, we are talking about buying liquid assets that have daily high demand. The annual turnover of the world market of colored gemstones is several tens of billions of dollars. Each stone is a unique work of art created by nature itself and processed by man. There is not one identical precious colored stone in the world!
Please note that when I talk about financial investments, I do not mention white diamonds. Since white diamonds are an exchange commodity, their price directly depends on the prices of other commodities: oil and precious metals, as well as currency quotes and the economic situation in the world. Quotes of white diamonds of various sizes, weights and purities can always be viewed online at RapNet.com or Diamonds.net. There are no market quotes for colored gems. There is only the desire of the buyer to purchase and the desire of the seller to sell them.
Having 15 years of experience in the jewelry business, I can safely say that on average the price of colored gems is growing by 10-15% annually, and the demand for them from eminent jewelry houses such as Graff, Cartier, Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chaumet and others are getting stronger. Especially popular among investors are emeralds, rubies and sapphires that have not undergone heat treatment and have one or more certificates from leading gemological laboratories in the world (Gubelin, GRS, AGL, GIA and SSEF). Prices for “No Heated” colored gemstones range from US $ 30,000 to several hundred thousand dollars per carat. Sometimes the price can be more than US $ 1 million per carat, as is the case with very rare exclusive Burmese rubies. Prices for colored investment diamonds: intense or vivid pink or blue, start at US $ 1 million per carat and go up to US $ 3-4 million per carat, depending on the color, weight and purity of the stone.
For jewelry investments, our jewelry house works only with billionaires, of which there are more than five thousand people on our planet. And as an alternative investment, we offer them to invest from 1 to 2% of the value of their assets in colored gems. This component of the investment portfolio is one of the most liquid investments that are not subject to inflation and political risks, since these stones are locked in a bank safe from their owner in Switzerland, England, Hong Kong or Singapore.
Having two or more certificates for each stone, describing their properties and main characteristics, the owner of such precious investments through MaximiliaN can always sell his stones to leading jewelry houses or put up for auction one of the auctions: Sotheby's or Christies in Geneva, London, New York or Hong Kong. We keep registers of collections of colored gemstones worth hundreds of millions of dollars and protect the confidentiality of our customers' deposits in the same way as private investment banks. However, I must emphasize that it makes sense to make such an investment if you decide to “close in a pot” from US $ 10 million and above. Then we will help you find and acquire a good investment product for only 5% commission. With the further resale of this or that stone through us to another investor, a jewelry house or at an auction, we get 20% of the profit.
This is the same principle as investment banks. If investors have a desire to make unique jewelry from their stones, we do it with great pleasure!
