“Diamonds are forever”, and indeed this statement holds true. Like the coveted Birkin big, high jewellery is an equally important investment. These lavish pieces are purchased, collected and their value has shown to increase over time.

What makes high jewellery so expensive? Our founder of Kahn Jewellery, Hoey Ho says that “the value behind high jewellery stems from the rarity of materials and stones that are used. When they are maintained the worth of the piece will increase overtime”.

Is it all kind of stone can increase over time?

Take this rare Farnese Blue Diamond for example, that resurfaced at a Sotheby’s auction after 300 years. Its one of the foremost historic diamonds in the world and was passed down through the royal families in Europe. This pear-shaped 6.16 carat jewel was sold for 6.7 million USD back in 2018.

Take another example, this Emerald Ring from Kahn collection is primed in 18k white gold, set with a lush 2.91 carat emerald from Colombia. …….

A woman’s high jewellery collection is so personal to her. Each piece is a representation of who she is and adds to her persona. These prized possessions will be passed down to her daughter, then granddaughter and thus a span of generations. The intrinsic value behind high jewellery pieces is that they are made with the highest quality of materials making them withstand the test of time and so will appreciate.

 

When it comes to investing in high jewellery it is important to do your research. Understand the history behind the piece and look at the proper certifications as it well help will determine it’s monetary value.
