Jewelry, the ultimate safe haven
Throughout history, jewelry made of precious materials (gold, diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds) has been the panacea of the wealthy. When difficult times loom (wars, pandemics, stock market crashes), Man tends to put part of his possessions away from chaos of all kinds, transforming them into secure values .
Gold and precious stones, a historical store of value
In this category, therefore, there are gold and precious stones, timeless and internationally recognized currencies of exchange, these values reassure him; these must be tangible , not like a stock market action, like a line on a bank account or like the paper that banknotes are made of, but of noble materials that can be produced quickly.
When we talk about jewelry, we are not talking about jewelry made by machines or on a mass production line, but about objects that come from the Jewelry , made by craftsmen whose know-how almost no longer exists, whose production is carried out in very small quantities. Jewelry that is found exclusively in large Houses such as Cartier , Van Cleef and Arpels, Boucheron , Bulgari, Tiffany etc…
And even better, the jewels signed by these Houses that keep their value and sometimes even increase, are the antique pieces. By antique, we mean those that are no longer manufactured, that are at least twenty years old and belong to the category of Jewelry. This has been a specialty of the Miller Jewelers for thirty years, where it is not uncommon to see customers, who had bought a jewel, return to Miller to resell it and be very surprised by the price that can be offered to them….Over time, these pieces have gained value due to their rarity. These are the ones that now obtain the most significant capital gains.
For the common man, if the jewel is a safe haven , it is important to define in what framework.
What safe values can be acquired?
Investing in a jewel will never be done as it would be in real estate or stocks. There is an element of dream, of love at first sight or simply an avowed aim of collecting a certain type of piece or certain eras, or even choosing a favorite jeweler. We recommend the acquisition of pre- or post-war pieces that were the subject of limited production and in accordance with the rules of art.
In fact, the premium will be given over time to jewels that are unobtainable due to the nature of their materials or which, thanks to the talent of their creator, are transformed into objects of art typical of the production of an era.
