Price of Precious Stones Is on Rise
Interest in investing in gemstones has increased in recent years. This is partly due to the fact that more and more investors are realising that the price of gemstones is reliably rising over time. Several other factors are also attracting more and more people to invest in precious stones.
Why the Hype?
Gemstones have captured the hearts and increasingly the eyes of investors for centuries. Here’s why gemstones are so popular:
1. Timeless treasure – Gems reliably retain their value, which often increases over time. Shop wisely, be persistent and the reward is guaranteed.
2. Limited supply, rising demand– As gemstone supplies dwindle and demand skyrockets, this paves the way for rising prices.
3. Compact value – Gemstones hold immense wealth in a small package. No bulky storage, no maintenance fees, just pure value.
Beyond Gloss – Alternative Investment Options
Although there has been an increase in interest in investing in gemstones, many investors are still cautious about investing. Investing in physical gemstones is more complicated than traditional investment options. Buying and selling gems is not as simple as investing in commodities such as gold or silver coins and bullion.
Fortunately, investing in gemstones not only has many benefits, but also takes many forms.
Investors who want to have a stake in the gemstone industry without the complexities of outright ownership can consider the following options:
1. Investing in stocks – if you buy shares in gem mining companies or jewellery retailers, you will earn potential returns based on their overall performance.
2. Exchange-traded funds (ETF) – By looking for ETFs that track a set of gemstone-related assets, you get more diversification and trading is easier.
