Frequently Asked Questions
What makes rare gemstones a good investment?
Rare gemstones offer real value, portability, and historical appreciation. Unlike many other investments, they provide aesthetic enjoyment and potential financial returns. Limited supply and increasing demand, especially from emerging markets, contribute to their investment potential.
How do you determine the authenticity of luxury assets?
We apply a rigorous authentication process including certification from internationally recognized laboratories, provenance research, and consultation with specialized experts. For gemstones, we recommend comprehensive testing including spectroscopic analysis and microscopic examination.
What percentage of a portfolio should be allocated to luxury assets?
We typically recommend a 5-15% allocation to luxury assets in a diversified portfolio, depending on individual financial goals, risk tolerance, and existing investments. This allocation can serve as a hedge against inflation and market volatility.
