Why Buy Gemstones?

Whether for investment, jewelry, collection, you have the choice:

INVESTMENT STONES

The increase in the price of gemstones is significant and has continued for several years. Overall, there are first of all certain common factors such as the increase in production costs due on the one hand to the increase in the cost of energy and on the other hand to the decrease in productive deposits. The population increases and the resources in gemstones decrease. The increase in the cost of production is also due in some countries to better rules for respecting the environment. Some stones increase less than others like white diamonds or tanzanites. But these conditions can change quickly if investment or even fashion phenomena occur like countries like China. Production mayRead then no longer be sufficient to meet demand and prices will soar. Chamal Gems have grown in the past 5 years with an average of 10% per month. Well per month, not per year. Writing this is not with the aim of making an attractive proposition on the future, but only information on what has happened on this market in recent years. This does not in any way imply the future.

This is particularly the case for certain important stones in rubies, sapphires and spinel’s. These price increases also affect white diamonds but only in the best qualities and certain sizes, as well as colored diamonds. At auctions like Sotheby’s or Christie’s, each time new carat price records are broken. And these records are driving up the rest of the market. To find out more about these records, see our page “Record gemstone prices”. Compared with other precious stones, white diamonds (apart from exceptional sizes) have a smaller but steady increase over the long term.

This is due to two main causes.

So, apart from exceptional diamonds in terms of their size and purity, according to my analysis, white diamonds are not an investment stone.

In our opinion, it is illusory to invest in “investment diamonds” apart from colored diamonds and very large white diamonds. Colored diamonds are very rare in beautiful qualities and sizes. The price of colored diamonds has soared in recent months and years. There is no objective reason for it to stop. This is all the more notable for the pink diamonds and the even rarer red diamonds from the Argyle mine in Australia. This mine is expected to close in the coming years; its primary source of income is the white dement and not colored diamonds. These pink and red diamonds will become even more rare.

But more surprisingly, some “basic” gemstones have seen their prices soar. An example: blue topaz. Our restocking is done at a triple price of two years ago! I must be very vigilant about these phenomena of increase. I am forced to regularly update the prices of stones and apply these increases on gemstones in stock. Indeed, long-term profit is not, contrary to popular belief, the difference between the purchase price and the sale price, but between the sale price and the purchase price of a new equivalent stone. If not, purchasing capacity decreases as sales are made. If I had not had this vigilance, I would no longer be available to serve you with passion as I have done for a quarter of a century.
