Since the dawn of man we have been collecting all kinds of treasures as our forebears adorned themselves with gemstones and jewellery.
Rare and beautiful gems such as the big four – diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires – to the more attainable gems with their kaleidoscope of colours are unique collectables that continue to fascinate us today. Talented gem cutters and jewellers turn these stones into beautiful jewellery that can not only be worn and enjoyed, but also invested in.
It is in the area of wealth generation that estate jewellery offers unique opportunities to prospective owners. Estate jewellery is usually attained at a fraction of the cost of new jewellery and the full catalogue of human history and culture is also available to buyers who are interested in this area.
However, knowledge is wealth and when you acquire estate jewellery from a bricks and mortar establishment the owner of the shop will be happy to convey their knowledge.
Antiques and collectables meanwhile, come to life when that wonderful piece that you have been searching for is first spotted. Not to mention the fun of being on the road or just stumbling across a treasure when you least expect it.
Jewellery, antiques and collectables create pleasure, not just in owning them but also to give them as gifts. Unlike other investments Antiques, jewellery and collectables can be enjoyed by touching and seeing as your investment appreciates. But first, you have to gain the knowledge that creates wealth.
