Throughout history, precious metals and gemstones have been considered a valuable asset due to their relative rarity and scarcity. In times of market turmoil or uncertainty, gold in particular, is seen as a safe haven option for investors looking to hedge against inflation. In fact the sterling price of gold reached an all-time high as recently as March 2022 (Source: Chards). Unlike certain other alternative investments, you don’t necessarily have to spend tens of thousands of pounds to find something that’s investment-worthy. Many pieces, at a wide variety of price points, will store value. That said there are multiple factors to consider when making a purchase, and like any high-value acquisition, there will always be an element of risk. For that reason, any expert in this field will always advise that one should love the jewellery they buy. Don’t purchase just for investment, buy it as much because you love and want to wear it.
