Is Jewellery A Good Investment?

Investing In Jewellery

A question we often get here at Roxluna from our customers is; Is jewellery a good investment in the long term? Well to answer that question is yes, jewellery is made from gold is a good investment. If your jewellery is not made from a precious metal, then other than being a personal asset you love, financially the simple answer is no. However, if your jewellery is made from a precious metal, such as gold or precious stones then you’re certainly sitting on an asset. 
We tend to use 14K here with a K instead of 14ct but both are actually right! Ct or (Carat) is also the measure of diamonds so we've separated them to make it easier for you to distinguish. 

Is Jewellery A Good Investment And How Gold Works?

I’m sure you’ve all heard of 24ct Gold, 18ct Gold and so on, but do you really know what that means? 24ct Gold is pure gold and is, therefore, the most valuable and the safest place to put your money overall. 18ct Gold is gold that is 75% pure, the 18 refers to the imperial fraction system i.e. 18/24th gold.
14ct gold is the gold used most commonly for jewellery, it’s also the most commonly used gold we use here at Roxluna.com. 14ct gold is 14/24ths pure or just over half pure. 14ct gold is marked “with “585,” referring to its 58.5 percent purity. 
When a piece of jewellery is stamped with a quality mark, the law requires that it be stamped with a hallmark or trademark as well.
Here’s an easy guide to help you remember and to decide is jewellery a good investment or not?:
24ct = 99.5% pure gold and above
22ct = 91.7 % gold
18ct = 75.0 % gold
14ct = 58.3 % gold
12ct = 50.0 % gold
10ct = 41.7 % gold

 

What jewellery qualifies as an investment?

What jewellery could you invest your money in? Well if you’ve got a spare $100m you could buy Graff Diamond’s Peacock broach, or you could invest in an heirloom piece made of 24ct gold. You can never know for certain which way the price of gold is going to go, but your money will always be safe in pure gold. There are plenty of fine jewellery pieces in our fine jewellery section of our site.

So, Is Jewellery A Good Investment?

The answer to that question, from a purely financial sense we’ve already answered. The most important thing is, however, to just buy what you love and what will make you happy. Regardless of the precious metal it’s made from any piece can hold a bucketload of value to you from a sentimental perspective and that’s what really matters. However, if you're looking for something to either hand down as an heirloom or spend that bit extra on, we suggest sticking to fine jewellery.
