If you want to start to invest in gems, it might seem like a good idea to find a really valuable stone. This mindset can also make investing in gemstones only accessible to the very wealthy. However, this is not usually the best approach to this particular investment niche. Very valuable stones do not allow a large amount of mark up room in the price. The field of buyers is also very limited. Dealing in higher numbers of moderately valued gemstones can often yield a better profit margin than trading in a select few highly valuable jewels.
Unless you have major Para psychological abilities, it is highly doubtful that you can predict the future values of gemstones. As a rule, gems retain their value, increasing in value with inflation, simply due to intrinsic value. However, market value depends on what people are willing to pay for them. There may be a technological innovation that makes a certain type of gemstone much more available, lowering the value of each individual stone. In contrast, natural sources for another gem make became tapped out, causing values to soar. Investing in gemstones for a consistent profit margin means that you must educate yourself on the value, quality, and market of the stones you are seeking.
You can tip the scales in your favor with several things. First of all, it is generally better to buy in bulk. Purchasing multiple stones at one time typically lowers the individual cost of each gem. The cheaper the stones are, the more you can buy at a time and the more mark up potential they have. However, keep in mind the number of buyers you may have. Thousand of cheap stones may not be as easy to unload as twenty to fifty mid-range jewels. If you can not sell that many stones, it is not a good deal because you will not receive a return on your investment.
You can also seriously increase the value of your gems by learning how to cut rough stones or set cut stones in jewelry settings. This will allow you to sell your gems faster because you do not have to wait for an appreciation over time. It also greatly increases the return on your investment. However, you have to be skilled enough that you can get a good price after your work. The price you receive must cover the cost of your materials and labor as well as the cost of initially investing in gemstones.
