In 3d life,I am very fond of gemstones, and lately I had discussion with a fren about how to invest in it, and realised there’s a lot in common between Gemstones and NFTs. So gemstone is what’s called hard asset, it’s portable asset, but first and foremost is personal adornment.
It’s a rare personal adornment that people will wear as jewelries, as opposed to investing it. And most people who buy gemstones are not going to make money on them.
The people who r successfully enjoying the personal adornment and making it a wise investment r people that become experts in gems and jewelry.
if you are interested in gemstones as an asset, first , you got to become a collector, a connoisseur, a expert, to become a collector and enjoy what you’re buying first, enjoy wearing it, collecting it, and take courses, learn about the quality, grading, rarity and the market.
Go to show , learn and look. Then you can make better and better intelligence decision on what has the best chance of going up in value over the long term as opposed to just taking a chance or a recommendation .
Most gem collectors slash investors are only look it gems like ruby, emerald, sapphire, fancy colour diamonds in the finer to top qualities, they want the most rarity, and they want other people to buy them again without much of thinking just to flip and make profit .
But for collectors, it doesn’t have to be the finest and the largest ruby or sapphire ever, it can simply be the larger size as you can afford at the finer quality , something you can wearing and enjoying it .
some of the most knowledgeable art collectors are actually more knowledgeable than most art dealers , that’s why they do so well.
